More free covid tests by mail

[mamamary]

FYI. In case anyone needs more covid tests you can reorder 4 more. It looks like the same deal as last time. I just ordered more as I went thru a few tests last week (luckily just a cold not covid).

website is covidtests.gov

Thank you for the reminder, I ordered a batch!

WOW! I thought it was just once and done, I'm stunned/impressed/pleased that we have been getting some love through all this... it's new and welcome.

Thank you. I finally got my kits from the last order just last week - just as we are pretty much dropping all mandates. For the first kit, I had some snafus with the system not recognizing my address due to living in an apartment building. After filing a complaint, it took weeks for them to tell me they finally corrected the situation. Then another few weeks to tell me my order was processing, then another few weeks to tell me my order was finally on it's way, with a tracking number. Then, according to tracking, it sat in the mail truck for 6 hours when it was 30 degrees out. So I have no idea if being in the cold so long affected it's effectiveness.

Hopefully the weather will be much milder when this new kit arrives. I plan to use one test from each kit if/when I need to be tested. Hopefully one or both will give an accurate result.

Thank you for posting this. I was able to order more tests for my parents which I know they appreciate having on hand.

Half of the 500 million tests went unclaimed so they opened it up again. It took 6 weeks for half my friends to get the first kit even though we all ordered them the first day ?!?

Thanks for the reminder. First test kits came in about 10 days, very impressed.

We have a surplus of them right now - aside from the government ones, we had a couple boxes from before that we haven't used yet. I have to start looking at expiration dates soon.

I ordered 4 more. Have to remember to take some of them with me to WDW and put them in my Owner's Locker.

I ordered more. Nice to have around.
They first set we received expires in June. We have two trips before that and will probably test when we get back and then these will be good for the next trip

I saw this on the local news this morning. I placed my order as well.

I got some last time, and ordered 4 more on Tuesday. They are out for delivery today. That's about the fastest that USPS has been in forever. We are still waiting for mail that was sent on Feb 11 and hasn't gotten here yet..lol

Thanks for the heads up, @mamamary!

I'm wondering if they had a stockpile of ones about to expire and that is why there was a second round and people are getting them pretty quick.
Will you guys that get them report back here with the expiration dates? Thanks!

First set arrived in about 2 weeks.

Second set, ordered March 7th and notified today they should be here the 14th.

Same identical ones are at our Kroger for $19.99 a box, so appreciate the free ones. DS is a teacher so it's important he has access to them and with teacher pay, free is appreciated.

I reordered on Friday I think it was. They are scheduled for delivery today.

Just got an update from USPS and they are arriving today!!

I ordered Monday for us, my daughter and Marie's uncle on Monday. All three out for delivery today.
