Still haven't received my rapid tests from the federal govt

If I remember correctly I placed my order immediately on Jan 18, supposed to get 4 tests. I did just receive the tests offered by my state; 5 tests. That came very quickly and they also provided tracking. For the federal tests I got a receipt they day I placed the order and haven’t heard anything since. It sounds like a lot of people have already gotten theirs so I’m starting to wonder if someone intercepted them or something. I don’t think there is any way to track that order.

That's good info. When I first ordered it said 1-2 weeks but didn't know you could check by order # captain queeg Feb 2022 #17

These were the federal tests - Texas State government is in denial so nothing will come from them but misery.

The day my order was placed, I received a Confirmation letter with an Order #. That has been the only acknowledgment thus far. Have not received shipping e-mail or tracking number as yet. Order as placed on 1/18 - the early date that ordering opened.

They're sending out close to a half billion of these. If you're not the first person to get them don't panic.

Don't forget, we're dealing with a Post Office department that's being run by an idiot of Drumpf's choice, selected for the express purposes to discredit and hobble it.

You'll get them soon. You already have 5 from your state. Relax.

I have to test twice per month now for work but that will be done on campus, but we need some tests at home as well. I am not really sure what the point of testing pools is- it is just a way to save money I suppose and not test everyone as well as make everyone worry if one test in the pool is positive.

...if you go online to check by order number, it says the shipments BEGIN in late January.
It's only February 3.
Obviously, something changed because people were getting them in a week.
That's why I checked yesterday.
It says we'll get a 2nd email with a routing number when they're actually shipped

I imagine TFG’s appointed head of the PO has something to do with it.
