How to return an IQOS Device from the Try Before You Buy Program?

Two days before the end of your trial, we will send you an email asking whether you want to buy and keep the device, extend your trial or return it to us.

If you don’t think IQOS ILUMA is for you, simply inform us of your decision to return the device through either of the emails you receive on day 12 or 15 post sign-up. Within both emails you can select ‘return’, and this will instruct one of our Customer service team to call you in the coming 2 days to organize your free returns. They will ensure any second payment it suspended and provide you with a returns label. Alternatively you can organize your return on the IQOS.com returns portal. 

Please ensure we receive your device within 38 days from the date your order was placed. For more details around the return process, visit our Return & Refund” guide.
