Skipping is for a specific period - "no deliveries from 1 May to 15 May" or "skip next Wednesday". You set start and end dates, and your normal deliveries resume after. Pausing is open-ended - your subscription goes on hold with no deliveries and no charges until you reactivate. Use Skip for holidays; use Pause if you don't know when you're coming back.
Yes - both, and the difference matters. Skip a single delivery (or a few) if you're away or want a break. Pause your whole subscription indefinitely if you want a longer break with no charges and no deliveries until you're ready to come back. Both are done from your account; both are free; both respect the three-day cut-off (deliveries already locked in will still ship).
Yes. Log into your account and choose Skip on the delivery you want to miss. As long as you do it before the cut-off (three days before delivery), you won't be charged and nothing gets sent. Your next delivery after the skip carries on as normal. You can also skip multiple weeks in a row.
Your account updates immediately and you'll see the change reflected. Behind the scenes, the change can take up to 48 hours to fully process. Important: if a delivery has already passed its three-day cut-off, that delivery will still be sent - pauses and skips only stop deliveries that haven't been locked in yet.
