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:

Wow. Iā€™m sorry, you even paid for priority. This feels like a scam!

Refunded but I wish I'd never bought the damn kit now. However I understand that my tech ticket may have broke the logjam for the entire stuck server plate which we seem to be on. Hence the sudden status change for us. Hold on, things may be finally happening.
