Pickup & Return

Your modem comes in a orange reusable box/envelope. Please use the same box for return, pack it and drop to mailbox (fx at the Airport). When dropped in mailbox at the airport the only one handling our modem is The Icelandic Post.

We urge our customers to return the modem, fully charged to mailbox at the airport so we can prepare the modem for next customer.

Please take care of our orange box!
We try to reuse the orange boxes as often we can. Throwing away a good and healthy box is 
unnecessary.

All major deliveries will be made through personal service at Airport – Ten Eleven store & Ísbjörninn Polarbear Gift Store. It gives you a chance to pickup the rental package at arrival.

All pickup locations are run by our partners.

At TenEleven Grocery Store located in the Airport Arrivals hall you can pickup all first day travel necessaries or just get a warm coffee. Open 24/7. If your flight ticket says (KEF) Reykjavik this is the place.

At the very popular Ísbjörninn Polarbear Gift Store you can find the best brands in Icelandic design. From the smallest gift, to precious and more expensive ones, you can’t avoid buying something! Located in downtown Reykjavik. Open 10am to 10pm. Basic modems only!

Deliver to a Domestic airport is a great option for those who fx go with direct flight from Kef Airport to Akureyri Airport. They can just pick up a modem at Akureyri arrival. Its also a great option if you suddenly need a Trawire Modem but are not near the capital.

  1. Nearest Public Mailbox – The red ones. You can see Mailbox locations here.

The easiest and hassle free is to return to one of two mailboxes at the Airport return boxes (envelopes for Super and Ultra) are pre-stamped. One mailbox is located in the Departure Hall, on the right side to Icelandair checkin/odd baggage and the other one is in the main food-hall, after security check (see video below).

ATT! We highly urge our customers to return the modem directly mailbox. It gives you opportunity to go through the Customa hassle/stress before thinking of the modem return ;). The modem is also on its fastest way back to us. If handed elsewhere, for example to a hotel front desk or at the car rental, the customer (you) are responsible for the return process from that point until the modem is in our hand.
