Just this past Monday, 3/7, I put in my new order for the four free COVID tests with USPS and received the confirmation the same day. This morning "Informed Delivery" e-mail stated tests would be in my mailbox next Monday, 3/14. Then, a second e-mail stated they'd be arriving today and, sure enough, there they were! Three days!
Received a different brand this time, labeled simply as "COVID-19 At-Home Test" in white/blue box distributed by Roche Diagnostics. Four tests - expire August 9.

Thanks Joe and USPS!

(9,042 posts)It is misleading, though. Its really two sets of two tests, because you have to take the second 24 hours after the first (if memory serves).

(10,885 posts)one test is sufficient if you have symptoms of COVID, two tests are recommended if you have no symptoms at the time of testing.
The instructions for the new tests aren't printed on the box exterior, and I don't wish to open them yet, so this is still an unknown regarding the new.

Good to hear you haven't needed them up to this point, but don't you want to keep them on hand "just in case" for the future?
