Default Free Covid Home Tests - "Where Art Thou"

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.
