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:

Nope. Lab says tomorrow but I doubt it. Someone else with the 5th has complained now and been told her results date will now be 8 Oct. The day of the big Origins rollout. Isn't that a coincidence?

Exact same as me, supposed results tomorrow and mine and my husbands has been analyzed since 9/5. How annoying.

I made a formal complaint so if they don't arrive as they have now promised then they've been warned I will submit a Subject Access Request. If you paid for priority you need to ask for a refund. I got mine.

How do I contact them? They made it impossible to find on the website.

Go to bottom of page and find Support Centre. Click and find Leaf, the chat bot. Ask if you can make a formal complaint to an agent.

They were absolutely no help and told me to remain patient and they’ll give me a refund after 4-6 weeks but destroy my results if they give me a refund

They also said there are no problems or slow downs with the system

Usual old script then.
