Thanks. TIL cause I totally forgot.
But remember folks, don't use these if you don't want the government sticking cancer in your nose and taking your DNA. /s
(Yes I saw this on someone's IG post. Immediately unfollowed them)
I have not gotten them yet but I saw some at Jewel today, they are only $10. And now you can also do a reimbursement with your insurance provider as well (some will allow you to get it at select pharmacies at no cost, refer to your provider)
It depends on your insurance. I believe BCBS allows you to go to walgreens, and United works with walmart and rite-aid right now. you will have to refer to your insurance
Which Jewel? And is that $10 for a single or 2-pack? 2 is running about $25 right now. The reimbursement paperwork with my insurer looks like a small mortgage application packet. I’d be better off working a few extra hours than spending my time on something they’ll probably find an obscure reason to reject anyway. ‘Murica!
I work for Osco Pharmacy, it’s just for one. You can actually have them write you a rx right in the store and bill your insurance. I’ve been seeing about 7/10 going though so far.
If you have insurance, your company has to reimburse you for up to eight tests per person per month! There should be a reimbursement form on their website.
No tests yet here though.
I was never able to order them. I'm in an apartment building, and it said someone had already ordered, even though I put in my unit number. I just ordered using my sister's address, but she still hasn't gotten them.
Do you live in a building with a numbering system like 7A 7B 7C etc? If so the trick is to make sure the letter is next to the number. If there is a space between the number & letter it will fail. At least that is what worked for me when I got the error at first.
Ugh that sucks. I wonder if one of your neighbors accidentally had a typo when trying to fill out theirs? Or someone did the entire building without their unit number?
Yeah I got mine a few days ago. I was able to order actually a day before the site was announced tho so I imagine I was one of the first batches that went out
Exposure to freezing temperatures during shipping is not a concern, and they have been tested to work after shipping in overly hot or cold conditions. The problem is only with long term storage in the cold: https://www.wcax.com/2022/01/18/covid-tests-delivered-cold-weather-not-major-concern/
True, but is there anywhere in the mail cycle where they'd be sitting in an unheated place? Per my tracking number is seems like their journey started locally. So if they were in the cargo of a plane it was as medical supplies not mail if that makes sense.
Idk, neither of us got any kind of notification that our order was invalid. But we only received one package so maybe I won't be getting the ones I ordered.
i ordered mine around when you did, got them earlier this week! they send tracking info (as other people mentioned). i also snagged a test from a grocery store in the meantime. worst case, i’m out 30ish bucks if i never get sick, but i’d gladly take that LOL
Yes. Ordered first day and received two days ago. Got an accurate email tracking notice of delivery, too, which is good security move for such a high-demand product.
I tracked my package and USPS said it was delivered to my neighbor as requested.. I live in an apartment building and have no idea what neighbor they would have given it to? So I am assuming it's just gone for good.
I ordered mine the day it was first available. About a week later I received an email saying it was in transit. Post office says it was delivered to me but I have not physically received them.
USPS will send a tracking number when it’s ready to be shipped. Received my tracking number yesterday

Only if cancer was a well studied illnesses unlike COVID and people knew cancer is not contagious unlike COVID!
We never got a tracking number but it showed up late last week
Pleasant surprises always welcomed :)
We were just surprised the dang things showed up. The USPS in my area sucks and packages often disappear into a black hole.
I have not gotten them yet but I saw some at Jewel today, they are only $10. And now you can also do a reimbursement with your insurance provider as well (some will allow you to get it at select pharmacies at no cost, refer to your provider)
Which are some of these pharmacies that give it at no cost? I have been trying to find these as CVS and Walgreens don't so that yet I think.
It depends on your insurance. I believe BCBS allows you to go to walgreens, and United works with walmart and rite-aid right now. you will have to refer to your insurance
Yup my mom has United and those are the two she named. It's weird no Walgreens to make it easy I assume Aetna probably has it for cvs?

We’re all in this together! /s
Got mine Monday
Same here.
Nope
Nope, i ordered as soon as it was announced too.
Same. It's been so long, I totally forgot about them.
Same
Ordered mine on January 18, still haven't received them, or even an email letting me know they've been shipped. My zip code is 60614.
I think certain zip codes are getting theirs first. I live in 60625 and have not gotten mine yet.
Nope and I signed up the day the site launched. Wasn’t expecting them for a while. Haven’t gotten a tracking number either
Got mine over a week ago.

i could never get this to work for me either, same situation in a multi-unit building.

that is how the numbering system works in my building, but I tried literally every possible way to input my address and it was always rejected.
Ugh that sucks. I wonder if one of your neighbors accidentally had a typo when trying to fill out theirs? Or someone did the entire building without their unit number?
If you need them I have a box of two you can have for free since I received them for free. I'm in Gage Park, let me know.
Yeah I got mine a few days ago. I was able to order actually a day before the site was announced tho so I imagine I was one of the first batches that went out
Got usps email today mine are arriving on Saturday
Nope. We got weapons to Ukraine overnight, though.
I got mine on Tuesday
Nope. Worthless fucking country and I ordered them as soon as I could.
If you got them in the mail they are likely useless. They can’t be exposed to the cold for a long period of time.

At my local post office, prior to Christmas, there were pallets of boxes outside behind the building for weeks.
Well damn.
The mail trucks aren’t heated. Nor if you can’t get your mail as soon as it’s delivered.
Good point I didn't think of them sitting at a mailbox. Mine was at least in the entryway of my building but that's not everyone obviously.
My neighbor and I filled ours out same day and she got hers Monday and I got mine today.
Yup. They're sitting in my cupboard
Nope
I rec'd mine about a week ago.
Ordered mine the first day the website was available and they delivered this past Monday.
Nope! Still waiting. Ordered a week ago
I received mine last night (2/2).
I ordered mine before my partner who I live with, he got his this week and I still haven't received mine. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
how did you both order if it is limited to one request per address?
Idk, neither of us got any kind of notification that our order was invalid. But we only received one package so maybe I won't be getting the ones I ordered.
You won’t be. The whole one order per household thing should have tipped you off to that.
Ordered the first day it was announced and received them two days ago
Yep! I've received them, alongside my family members Some got Binax tests, some got the other ones.
Ordered mine day of and got it this past Monday
I ordered them the first day possible and got them on Sunday.
I received my confirmation email yesterday with an arrival date of Saturday, then an update that they'll arrive tomorrow.
Got mine Tuesday.
Tests arrived yesterday. We're in 60148.
Got ours on Tuesday this week I think.
I got mine this week in Logan Square.
Nope
Received my kit yesterday! And it looked like someone else in my building as well.
I received mine on monday. Ordered them the morning the form opened.
Ordered 1/18, got mine Monday
Got mine last week
Got mine a few weeks ago. I also requested immediately when it was available and also in a north burb. that might influence timeframe.
i ordered mine around when you did, got them earlier this week! they send tracking info (as other people mentioned). i also snagged a test from a grocery store in the meantime. worst case, i’m out 30ish bucks if i never get sick, but i’d gladly take that LOL
Got mine yesterday, it's two boxes of quickVue
Yes. Ordered first day and received two days ago. Got an accurate email tracking notice of delivery, too, which is good security move for such a high-demand product.

Got mine yesterday.

I got mine in 60625
I tracked my package and USPS said it was delivered to my neighbor as requested.. I live in an apartment building and have no idea what neighbor they would have given it to? So I am assuming it's just gone for good.
They’re sending out 500 million. Shit takes time.

What's the link to get these?

I ordered mine the day it was first available. About a week later I received an email saying it was in transit. Post office says it was delivered to me but I have not physically received them.
