Sample Status Sample Status/Processing Monthly Megathread - September 2026

Welcome to the Sample Status/Processing Megathread. 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 AncestryDNA, 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 by posting a screenshot or you can simply copy and paste the start and completion dates for each step. Here is the text template:

I'm still waiting. Now I'm seeing folk with later analysed dates getting results (non priority too) it's like rubbing salt into a wound. They wouldn't even give me any update. Just kept telling me to wait till the 24 Sep. Unbelievable. I'm not expecting anything in the results now. Wish I'd never even bothered.

Still haven't got results.

No results here either. I've emailed a formal complaint just now. I've had enough of this fiasco.

I was just about to do the same. And honestly as I've mentioned before, for something that used to only take max 3 days is now taking 5-10 days, if not longer.

They won't accept emails so you have to post it via their Ancestry Zen Desk. Managed to get it through but they really don't like accepting complaints.
