friend in Los Angeles received their tests today. they signed up immediately the first day of availability (Tuesday, January 18th) as did I. I have not received my free tests.
I'm thinking LA is a mail out hub for the tests.

(32,641 posts)but that's just me. If I don't receive mine soon I'll just assume it was stolen, which is ok if it can be useful to someone.

On iHealthLabs website, the fine print says to store in a dry location, between 36 degrees and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. It warns, any extended exposure of the test kit to temperatures beyond this range, may affect the quality of test results.
An Ellume spokesperson told WUSA9, ...if the product is exposed to extreme temperatures it could damage the test and trigger a Test Error rather than a false positive.
SD Biosensor says: Store the kit at 36-86 °F / 2-30 °C and protect from direct sunlight. The expiry date of the materials is indicated on the external packaging. Do not freeze the kit.
