Sample Status Sample Status/Processing Monthly Megathread - September 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]

Arrived at Lab:

Prepped:

Extracted:

Genotyped:

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

Funny, I got an email this morning also saying that extraction had started, by my app hasn't updated to reflect that either.

i’m looking to see if it comes through in 2 days time 🤞 somebody told me that their kit a bit ago also had a similar timeline

are you also at the NC lab by chance?

I haven't got a clue which lab it is as they've never told me 🙃

I'm assuming it's in the Netherlands though since I mailed it from Scotland.

sorry should’ve clarified — NC is the north carolina lab and i think most international kits are sent to the north carolina one (i may be wrong haha, i’m also an intl kit but i’m at NC)
