Provides close to expired tests
Update: in response to iHealth responding. What I want is the 105 day “rule” that the company knows about to be public knowledge so the customer knows too. We have the right to make an informed choice, especially since we cannot exchange or return this product. ———————— I ordered 1 iHealth Flu A&B/COVID-19 3-in-1 Rapid Test kit on July 8, 2025 from iHealth. This is not the first time I’ve ordered from them and generally, the expiration dates printed on the package are at minimum 6 months from when I receive the test kits. It’s usually a year. When I received the package on July 12, 2025, the expiration date is September 16, 2025, barely 2 months before they expire. I looked at the box I had purchased in October of 2024 and the expiration date on that box was September 17, 2025. So the tests I ordered almost a year ago have a longer expiration date than the one I just received. It’s just 1 day, but still longer. I did not feel that was right, so I contacted customer service, explaining the situation and asked for an exchange of tests that had a longer expiration date. I was basically told to go pound sand and they can send whatever they want as long as the expiration date is within 105 days of the expiration. But not the expiration on the box, the EXTENDED expiration the FDA allows them to use. None of this about the 105 days is anywhere on their website. I asked for an exchange and was told they would not do that. I asked for a return and they would not do that either. I asked to escalate to a manager and the same representative, Jade, said they escalated and the manager, who also said the same thing and they closed the ticket and again told me to pound sand. This company is awful -use another testing kit or at least go to a physical store where you can see the expiration date before purchasing, so you don’t have your money stolen by these crooks. Customers need to know they could purchase old tests from them and have no recourse.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. The FDA-approved shelf life for our tests is the maximum potential they can last, but actual expiration dates can vary based on production batches. While we do our best to ship products with ample shelf life remaining, we can’t guarantee a specific expiration date at the time of purchase. We understand how disappointing this can be, especially when you’ve had different experiences in the past. Your feedback is important, and we’ll be sharing it with our team for review. If you’d like to reach out, our support team is available at (855) 816-7705 or [email protected] — we’d be happy to see what we can do to assist further.
