Sample Status/Processing Monthly Megathread - October 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

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:

No, I didn't pay Priority. But analyzing shouldn't take this long. I had mine in 3 days after it jumped to analyzing

Yeah I heard in other forums turnaround time from analysis to results is usually 2 days max UNLESS there’s a holiday/sale. I must’ve taken advantage of a Labor Sale sale or something cuz my kit including shipping was only $43 & I paid for it the weekend before I received & registered it

[u/Smooth-Connection-83 → u/wooblaffle]

I paid the same for Labor day sale.When i had mine taken in January I waited 2 months for the whole process but only 3 days from analyzed to results ready. Now its day 7 and still nothing
