Got my COVID tests. 10 days. ✅

Pretty impressive.

I thought it would just be 4 shrink wrapped boxes. Nope. They padded it and weatherproofed. They have to be able to deliver everywhere everyday. 👀

My notice said Monday so they upped that.

I don't know if it's the tests or another small package I'm expecting. They usually just leave my packages on the front porch if they won't fit in the box. Maybe it was raining that day, not sure.

i forwarded it to my kid and her phone wouldn't even let her see the email i sent because it was blocking it for her

I won't worry about trying to pick it up. If it's legit, I guess the postal carrier will try to deliver it again. I hate all these fucking scams! They complicate everything. I always try to find out as much about them as I can before reporting them. Don't know how much good it does, but we all should try to help catch these bastards. It's the only way to stop them.

In my email was a notice saying they would be delivered today, heard the mail truck so checked and sure enough, a package like yours …
So checked my email to see if they said it was delivered, nope …
Got another email saying they would deliver them Monday …

I have an order number, but no tracking number, so I'm not sure to see what my status is.

BUT! My phone rang on Wednesday at 10:45 a.m. with a call from the city's Emergency Commission stating that free tests would be distributed until 1:00 p.m. at a nearby recreation facility. I hopped in the car and got right down there and there were already hundreds of cars pulling in and out of the parking area. Was able to score four free tests, so hurray!

It was a Win for the City too b/c they were able to see how effective their emergency notification system works.

I was able to buy two yesterday. We used the last two that we had on Wednesday (my husband tested positive, I'm negative).

We had gotten two free from the public library but they were incredibly close to their expiration date and expired before we could use them.

It hadn't occurred to me to check until you mentioned it, but they have a "Use by" date of 6/26/2022 so we're good. Hopefully the ones being mailed will go beyond then by a bit.

Hope you're able to stay in the negative despite your husband's positive test, and hope also that his symptoms are slight. Good luck and good wishes!

I did get a confirmation that the order was placed. I guess I'm just impatient. At least it's something to look forward to.

that traveled to 3 continents and now this thing knows every package being delivered here.

Shop app. As convenient as it is it’s also a bit creepy.

I also got emails from USPS.

so it's just a small drop in the bucket of the number of tests I will need. I could ask why my kids that just recovered from covid need weekly testing for covid, but schools are in panic mode not thinking mode.
