Ordered Jan. 18 … still not shipped … what?
===============
Joe’s promise: Order now, will be shipped in 7 to 10 days, allow 1 to 3 days in transit.
Specifically, I ordered early on Jan. 18 — the day before the full launch — and before the news hit that the site had opened early.
Got a confirming email:
With the early confirmed order, I should have been near the front of the queue, right?
Joe’s promise was: Shipped in 7 to 10 days, allow 1 to 3 days in transit.
So, worst case, should have shipped by Jan. 28 and received by Jan. 31.
It’s Feb. 4 and I haven’t even received a “been shipped” email.
Unlike real online retailers, there’s no way to check the status of the order.
So, where are my test kits, Joe?
Hmm.
==============
To be fair & balanced …
Later on Jan. 18, I entered an order on behalf of one of my sons’ families (different address, strictly legal) … and they got their Biden-tests last week.
=============
So what?
Kathy (my wife) developed cold symptoms. Covid?
A couple of friends swear that they got infected while waiting in line to get tested
So, we were skittish about getting Covid-exposed at a testing site and wanted to do at home rapid tests.
Local retailers’ shelves were empty.
Then the skies opened.
Costco suddenly had inventory online and was able the deliver 5 test kits in a couple of days.
Good news: My wife’s Covid rapid test was negative … most likely, she just had a cold.
I filed a reimbursement claim with my insurance company … and eager to see how that goes.
Haven’t heard back from them, so I’m betting the under on the reimbursement.
Oh well…
==============
Yesterday, our local Ollie’s Discount Mart — which specializes in closeouts and out-of-date merchandise — advertised that they had received a truckload of Covid tests.
Maybe the Feds can source from Ollie’s to fill their backlog.
