Ordered the free Home Covid Tests the very first day that they could be ordered.
Got a confirmation # from USPS.
Still waiting to get the tests.
The "Media" states over 50 million have been delivered.
What has been the experience in T.V. getting these tests.
We don't seem to have symptoms, that would require us to get tested elsewhere.
But, would like to have the home tests, just in case we need to test.

Yours should be in the next batch of 50 million. :)
UPDATED FEBRUARY 16, 2022 6:49 PM
So far, 50 million orders of at-home tests have been shipped to American households across the country, White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Jeffrey Zients said during a Feb. 16 briefing. Specifically, 200 million individual COVID-19 tests have been sent out, he said. “85 percent of the initial orders are now out the door,” Zients added. “And in the next several days, we will complete the shipping of all of the initial orders.”

I placed 3 back-to-back orders for tests for people living in 3 different households. Those orders were placed on the first day of the program. One person is still waiting for hers to arrive. It doesn't seem to matter when the orders were placed or be based on alphabetical order. (Every order was for family members and we all have the same last name!) The second order arrived last weekend.

Costco is selling rapid tests for 39.00 so they have real value. I do not know how many are in their kits. I have not received mine nor a verification of my order and I also ordered on the first day. Where are they?

Best response on this thread. However, look at the huge percentage of posts on here already that state "I ordered on the first day". I wonder how many of those people have posted on other threads "What's the rush, you're retired?":1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Got ours two weeks ago. Not sure how good they are. My doctor said he wouldn't consider them a valid test for him to prescribe treatment for Covid. We've had our shots and we both have just survived Covid by treating it with cold medicine. Followed the test instructions exactly and tested positive. That was two weeks ago, right after receiving the test kits. Wife swears we just had colds. But, that is how our kids and grandkids reacted when they had covid before the vaccines were available. They tested positive back then and said they just felt like they had colds. None had serious symptoms. Of course, they aren't old codgers like us, either.

I received 5 test kits Monday. I ordered mine the first day as well. I'm not sure why they sent an extra one.

Maybe they figured that only one out of five prove to be accurate?

Same thing here. Ordered 12/20 and still waiting. Sent inquiry to USPS three days ago. Still waiting! The USPS must be responsible for distribution. My son in California ordered them and received them in 6 days. Good luck!

Didn’t order, not waiting.
You should cuz it's your tax $$$$$.
If you need a test at a clinic or hospital, they wouldn't trust the home test,
You will be tested again by them paid for by your insurance.

Also ordered mine very first day the were available and like you I got confirmation email that we would have them end of January. Here we are mid February and no tests, but I haven’t checked mail in a few days. I have no issues but still work like them just in case.

Lots of things I disagree with is paid for with my tax dollars. If these test kits could cure you of Covid there might be some value. If I get sick, I will quarantine and go to the doctor if required.
