oh it opened early! Ty for this!!!

They appear to be shipping starting in late January, so like

Now

Ty for this!!

thank you. just ordered

thank you for sharing a replurkable!

awesome thanks for the plurk! didn't know it had opened yet

Ugh someone used my address already??? i live alone, why

Contacted them so we'll see what happens

oh wow, ty for this!

apparently at the moment it's "per building" and not actually factoring in apartment numbers, although a lot of people have noted that so fingers crossed for it being fixed soon

oh that would explain it as I live in an apartment

Huh. I hope they sort that out considering I live in a building with 21 floors with 26 apartments per floor lmao

I got an order confirmation fwiw but

whew, I lucked out, I live in an apartment but they gave each apartment a separate street number

This is a good thing and I don't want to shit on anyone being happy but 4 tests per household period is just... it's bare minimum. It's not even that really. It's insulting to call it a bandaid.

Yeah, that's absolutely true

I'm hoping that once they get the first wave out they'll be sending more, but we'll see

I am still, I want to be clear, ordering them. But the fact that we're almost a full year into Biden's presidency and this is it... no masks, no easily available kids when you need them, you still have to go to work and be around folks who might be infected and don't give a fuck just...

I mean, we also haven't had any more federal stimulus checks so... I'm doubtful. The bar for this administration is very low but at the moment they seem to be trying to do their best to barely clear it.

Oh dear I hope the per building gets fixed soon....

they have a place for units so...hopefully that will help the 'per building' thing

But yeah. It's....pretty insulting

if you live in an apartment building and are getting the error saying boxes have already shipped to that address you can apparently fix it by adding your apt # to the first line rather than the designated apartment # line

haven't tested this but hearing that it works

lmao love that database engineering

y'all can actually get it to load?

yeah, I just checked again now and it's loading fast with no issues

I did try adding my apt to the first line but got the same message, so results may vary 8(

huh, I live in a single home and am getting the 'already ordered' message. Time to check with the partner...

saya on Twitter I found this Twitter thread with people trying creative ways to put in their addresses.

done and done

Heads up, try to make sure someone can be home when they're delivered/you send to a secure indoor location if possible due to temp concerns:

oops, thanks for the heads-up, I will attempt to grab all my packages on time!

Ohhhh that's..... wow

.....ugh. I live in a townhouse with an outdoor system for mail and packages.

does anyone know how long before the below-35F temps actually ruin them?

Thank you for the heads up! I'll have to keep an eye out for the tests. Glad I work from home. But not everyone does

inthetatras: depends on the brand they send out. This is a fairly comprehensive article, but when you get yours if you're concerned then you might look up info specific to the brand.

Cold temperatures could affect the results of at-hom...

Big thing seems to be make sure that the test is at room temp before using.

I see. thank you for the information.

I had them deliver to a PO box that was inside for that reason.
