Anyone else ordering the free at-home Covid Tests?

I ordered Tuesday morning for my home and mom’s apartment with not difficult; received a confirmation email immediately. My aunt tried to order for mom, not knowing I had already done so; she received the message that the address had been used!

My husband ordered to his PO Box with ease. We are going to see the kids and grandkids next month; there are 8 of us, so these will be used in one weekend. The grands have to test often for preschool, so they need all the test they can get!

I ordered two days ago, posted on local fb pages, and at least fifty people ordered. I expect I will get my tests next year, haha.

Attention Washingtonians! You can now order additional state-provided tests.

I did not get a confirmation email when I ordered a few days ago. I just tried to reorder and got the address already used error. That should mean I will get the tests. Wait and see…

I already got my tests today but they only sent 2.

Two total tests or two boxes. I didn’t think these free ones were going to start to be shipped until the end of January.

The site said this:

  • Orders will ship free starting in late January

One box containing 2 tests. I was shocked they came so fast.

This was what my confirmation email stated:


I’m sure my postal delivery person will be overwhelmed when these start shipping. He is already working six days a week and covering 1-1/2 routes each day.

I got that too, however It just arrived today with no tracking information email prior to today.

That’s really weird! But good that you got some. Maybe you will be getting a second box…let us know!

Our tracking notice updated twice to an earlier date in the shipment notifications. They were delivered today.

I ordered some from Colorado at Christmas. Same deal, with two boxes of 2 tests, free, and shipped to my home. I got a notice on a Monday saying I’d get them by USPS on Thursday. I got them on Tues by Amazon. Okay.

My sister has been getting 2 boxes just about every two weeks for months. She’s a teacher and knew about the program early in the fall. I work at a school so I signed up too. Only requirement is that if we test positive, we have to report it to the number they provide.

Did you order free tests from your state? I got my free ones from NJ last month, and ordered the federal ones last week.

Amazon delivered my Washington state home kits the next day. They came even before my Walmart order stuck somewhere in the hinterland for the last week.

Washington also distributes kits at the libraries, mostly in the south end. I am glad since those areas have a high concentration of immigrants with limited access to computers.

Our state (CT) distributed their freebie tests by town. Each town handled distribution. None were ordered for mail delivery. It was pick up only (most places had a means for getting kits to folks who were unable to pick up).

There were a very limited number of these tests. Our town with over 6000 residents got 400 boxes.

I am not ordering. 500 million tests is not enough. Not even close. That;'s about one per person. Does testing once tell you much?

Same here. Hope you’re correct. There aren’t any home tests available locally and I haven’t had any luck purchasing them online recently.
