Ordered our Jan 18th. Not even shipped plus having trouble cause cannot reorder, because only ONE order per household. Today i tried contacting post office here. Nothing they can do, because no shipping number. oh well just gotta keep trying, maybe some day we'll get them.

that order was placed and giving the Order #. Still no notice of shipment or tracking number. I placed my order on Jan. 18 - the first day (the "early" day).

Fortunately, last week my town had a disbursement of 4 free tests, if one was able to get downtown quickly while they were still available.

Then I got the shipping notification email yesterday.

The box JUST fit in the mail box. NO room to spare. Well, except for the Kroger coupons - they fit, too.

1st day you could order, I do believe.

I did get a confirmation but no kits.

I hope there's a shelf life on these tests. I may not need to use them for the next 6 months, or maybe a year.

I have no travel plans until November, when my nephew is getting married in Florida. I'll probably need before AND after tests if I'm going there!

That's not a very long shelf life. I understand that there are multiple suppliers so no guarantee what yours will have.

6/30/22. This is the test(s) we were given.

Looks like they have availability to purchase online - $17.98 for 2 tests (1 kit) with a limit of 10 kits per customer.

I'm double vaxxed and boosted. Came down with symptoms on Saturday evening. Exhaustion, a cough and fever, to where I slept all day Sunday and most of Monday. My sister went to CVS and the home tests were available again. I tested negative twice. Wouldve sworn I had it based on the fatigue.

I ordered mine right away. Right before I got COVID. 3XXX. This is the exact test I used. Negative, day 2 into symptoms. PCR test 3 days later, positive. Unfortunately I'm not so sure this is a great thing. Wish it was. Rapid tests have been giving false negatives w Omicron.
