Let's ring in the New Year with Batch 387

[dwight]

due 1/03/2011 now expected by 1/21/2011

I did. And their response just arrived:

"Hi Mr. Holmes,

Thanks for your e-mail. I've checked with someone in the lab, and we expect your results to be available by the end of next week. I'm sorry for the delay.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can do for you.

Thanks again,
Kendall"

Note the date has *not* been changed on the "pending lab results" page

Give 'em a nudge. Send FTDNA an email or use the Fast Form. It's been a long time since I've emailed them but I remember they have more than one customer service email address. Click on "contact us" or "help" while logged into your personal page, or from the main home page.

Type up something along these lines:

"Hello (or "Dear FTDNA"),
My KIT # 12345 is in Batch 387 and my personal page still says expected 01/03/2011. It's a week late. Please let me know what's going on with my kit. When are my results going to be ready?

Sincerely,
Dwight H

Batch 387

I also emailed them in reference to the reason for the delay. They promptly answered me back saying that they didn't need any new samples, just extra time.
I also ordered mtDNA (hvr2) about a week or so ago. They just posted the date as 2/28/2011 for those results. Hope all these dates stick

Received Batch 387 FF Results 1-14-11

I am happy to report that my husbands batch 387 FF results came in tonight, and not in February like FTDNA had estimated following a delay due to potential issues with the sample. So, since we already received the mtDNA results early, and the FF results just a few days later than originally estimated, the wait for batch 387 results is over for us and we are very happy.

Thank you FTDNA, for your hard work!

Very cool.

My wife's due date is still more than a month away (gee, that sounds funny - ahem. we're talking 23andMe and FF+mtDNA results due date, nothing more!) so I haven't let myself start checking for those yet!!

[dwight]

well, sort of. philosophically may be more accurate.
paraphrasing Paul Simon, "still pending after all these weeks..."

(due date 1/3/2011
last week's email said end of this week, i.e. 1/21/2011
could be any moment now!)

yep.
patiently.

it's gotta be the Neanderthal link - they just don't wanna break it to me. FamilyTree: I can take it. Give me the news, whatever it is!

Now expected 02/14/2011

Just informed deep clade test put back yet again. Now expected 02/14/2011
Arrgh!

[dwight]

it still says due 1/3/11 but now they tell me mid-Feb

in this morning's email:

"Hi Dwight,

Thank for your email. I apologize for the delay. That run of the test did finish, but unfortunately it did not pass the Quality Assurance stage, so the test is being run again. Katie in the lab told me it should be done by the middle of February. Again, I'm sorry for the delay."

[on_the_edge]

Anyone still out there?

Completion of deep clade test pushed back yet again- to 7th March 2011.
Genebase took three weeks, not four months! ARGHH!
