Free covid test
 
When the government said we could order free test for home use at home I did, figured they might come in handy. They never showed up. I got a notice from USPS the end of May saying I could order 8 test this time so I went to the USPS on May 30th and ordered them. I still haven't seen anything of them. Does anyone know how long it takes?

Just received ours in the mail yesterday

I got mine within 2 weeks of ordering them. If you go back to the .gov website there's a link to what to do if you never received them.

Last batch took about two weeks. They said they were shipped and than said they were not before they finally showed up.

b That's only about 2 weeks ago + holidays in between. It's the post office .... you'll get them. We just got ours today yet we got a shipping note almost 10 days ago.

I lost track, but seems like we ordered ours in April, we got one order last Friday, and another came today. They certainly come WELL packed, must have cost us a small fortune to package, hire people to warp them in such a secure way, bubble wrap, then very tough outer Mylar (or similar material), so, perhaps yours will appear one day.

Nothing is free. We pay for it. It's called taxes.

I ordered mine several months ago and never received any. Oh well it doesn't matter anyway. Free stuff is always paid by someone, even if they didn't want to pay.

Ordered ours on May 24th. One shipment arrived June 15th and the other is supposed to be here on June 17th.

I am getting accustomed to getting screwed by the government. It used to be painful but not anymore :pray:

Go to Walgreen's drive thru or inside (just got over covid, so I went to the drive thru) with your insurance card, red, white and blue Medicare card, and your drivers license, and they will give you free test kits. And yes, I know our taxes paid for it, but I took them anyway
