If you have a question about an item offered on our Shopping section, or if you had a problem with an order, go to our Marketplace Help section and identify the appropriate vendor. Most of them have direct customer service email addresses for you to contact -- your first step should be to get in touch with the vendor directly. If you are not satisfied with your communications with a Marketplace vendor, please email us with the following information:

- The name of the vendor
- The item you purchased, including any billing information
- A description of your complaint or problem



6. How do I cancel or delete my Military.com membership?

If you no longer want to be a member of Military.com, please send us an email message with this information:

- Your logon member name, exactly as you type it in
- Your password, exactly as you type it in
- Your email address (the one you used when you registered for membership, NOT your Military.com email address)
- The reason you are canceling your account

Deleting your membership will result in the following:

- You will be unable to log into the site using your former member name and password
- Your member profile will be deleted
- You will not be able to use discussion groups or be a member of unit pages
- You will not be able to maintain any unit or group pages that you created
- Any pages you built will be lost, and we will be unable to retrieve them for you

If you cancel your membership, please also note that this will not change any information in our Buddy Finder/Personnel Locator that comes from Department of Defense databases. The only information we can remove is the information you added to the site, in your Personal Profile.

Please feel welcome to return to our site and our online community at any time!
