Actually, I think I deserve a reply since I am paying for them. Nevertheless, thank you, I'm just trying to ascertain the reasoning behind ordering these tests.

SInce they are not shipping until "late January" it appears most are getting them to be prepared. I did. No point in waiting until you might have COVID to request a test that takes a couple of weeks to ship.

We ordered them since folks we have come in contact with have become positive.
We need to know if we have it and need to quarantine to avoid infecting others. |

I've read the at home tests are not as sensitive as the PCR tests. If you know you've been exposed to Covid or feel sick, and the test comes back negative, I would isolate for at least 5 days, best you can. And no, I'm not a medical professional, so make up your own mind with your best recommendations and/or common sense.

If your plan is to isolate for five days after a negative test then why take the test at all?

I'm sure I am paying for several of these through my taxes so at least one ought to come to my house.

And if you do test positive and are really sick what then? Mononclonal antiboby treatment is scarce and it would be like winning the lottery if lucky enough to receive them.
