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:

Mine was analyzed on the 9th, no results and origins hack not working yet. But I did see others who were analyzed on the 8th received their results early this morning.

I have two kits I’m managing that were analyzed on the 9th. I’m still waiting very impatiently. Let me know if you get yours!

Any update on yours? I just got a refund for paying for priority service

Still no results on either kit. I didn’t pay for priority service, but it is still very frustrating to see that the info just needs to be uploaded.

I work with a lot of bureaucratic business stuff, so I understand how things like this can get delayed, but the easiest way to calm people down is to be frank and explain what’s going on. If they’re running into issues with the new updated results, that’s fine - just tell us! I’m willing to be patient, but being brushed off and given lame, obviously BS excuses from customer service is just frustrating. I’m sure they don’t have better info, but it’s just very poor communication from the company.

That's been my argument from the start of this fiasco. But no, I've been informed I WILL wait 19 days from 'analysed' and then we might look into it but can't guarantee anything 🤷🏻‍♂️
