TexasProud Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 So, I ordered the free Covid tests for me, as well as for my mom. I received mine within the week. My mom got an email saying the order was placed. But then she never got another email, like I did, saying it was shipping and here is the tracking number. There isn't an order number or anything to reference. Does anyone know how we can check on the order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) I ordered right when it opened, and mine took almost a month to arrive. How long has she been waiting? Edited February 17, 2022 by regentrude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toocrazy!! Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) I placed mine on January 22 and haven’t received them yet. My original email does have an order number though. Edited February 17, 2022 by Toocrazy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I ordered the first day and only just got them a week or 2 ago. Somewhere I read that they were going in order of places with higher rates or more at risk. I don't know if that is true though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insertcreativenamehere Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 It's so random. I ordered them the first day and got them a few weeks ago. I know others who ordered the same day and still haven't received them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She lives in the Metroplex and healthcare is much more available. My rural regional health area is the 2nd worst one for health issues in the state. Just funny that I got mine in the boonies in under a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athena1277 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 College dd and I ordered the same day. She got hers 2 weeks after I did. She’s only 3 hours away, although in another state. She’ll probably get them eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsheresomewhere Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 According to the post office mail app, they were to be delivered last week. They were delivered to someone over 3 hours away. I hope they enjoy the tests. Dang postal service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndGenHomeschooler Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I ordered some a couple of days ago since the first ones I ordered never arrived. I got an email notification this morning that they’ve shipped and will arrive by the end of the week. I’m not sure what happened what the first order.

mommyoffive Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 If your household has already received their 4 free tests, next week every home in the U.S. is eligible for an additional COVID Home Test Kit 4-Pack! Once live, just head back to the USPS site to enter your request for another pack to be sent to your home.

They have been extending expiration dates as time goes by and they find the tests are still valid. Latest with Binax is 15 months from manufacture (there’s a good chance that tests bought in December still had six month expiration dates on them).

I decided to use on of the tests yesterday because I coughed up some yellow mucus in the morning. I had no real symptoms of COVID and my allergens (mold has been high and now is moderate, and some tree, was moderate and is now low) have been a little bit bothersome. Plus on Monday, I was at Whataburger and a man coughed= I wasn;t very close and quickly changed to a much further away seat but thought there was no harm in testing. Of course, it was negative. As dh has been saying, we don't have any idea if we have had asymptomatic at any time but ony one of us has gotten sick within the last 2 years of this pandemic and that was dh, plus dd1, ddsil1, ds, dddil, dgd1, and dg 2 in Sept. Everyone except dh gpt tested with home testing and most with lab testing too- it wasn't COVID, nor the flu and based on symptoms, it was most likely RSV which was rampant in our area.
