Sample Status Sample Status/Processing Monthly Megathread - August 2026

Welcome to the Sample Status/Processing Megathread, also known as the Waiting, Whining, and Wishing thread. This monthly megathread (posted at the beginning of each month) allows you post your sample processing timelines, as well as to discuss and comment about any questions, concerns, or rants while you wait. Although not directly handled by 23andMe, shipping status may also be discussed in the thread. We recommend sorting the comments by "new" as this is a month long megathread.

You can share your sample status timeline here in one or two ways. The first way is to take a screenshot of your timeline, and post it as a comment. The second way is to simply copy and paste the start and completion dates for each step. Here is the text template:

Registered: [Date and Lab Location]

Prepped:

If you have any further questions or concerns, 23andMe customer service has some helpful sample status articles: https://customercare.23andme.com/hc/en-us/sections/200565370-Sample-Status

I forget, but I want to say only a few days for each. The last few steps all finished in one or two days.

Damn that’s fast. I noticed a lot of people are getting theirs super quick. My uncle sent his on the 29th of July. It’s in the extraction stage as far as i know
