Geno 2.0 shipping?

[robby792811]

It is 10/6 and was told it wouldn't ship until 10/30 however my credit card was charged today. I am assuming it is shipping. Anyone else charged?

Initial publicity, back in July, said "... expected to ship no later than October 30th (although you can probably expect it earlier than that)."

Thanks for reporting this. I hope the Geno 2.0 SNP Y-tree will be published soon then...

[robby792811]

You're welcome TiGen. I am excited it is shipping early and look forward to seeing the new discoveries as well.

How were you informed ? Did you recieve a mail from National Geographic ? Or did you simply check your bank account ? Nothing yet for me anyway...

But it is a great news indeed !

I also had my credit card billed

I have also noticed the charge in my bank statement when I checked.

Maybe they started with the US sales, and the European sales will be done later...

I am in the USA nothing yet. I have the original email I got sent after I ordered

"Please save or print this e-mail as it summarizes your order and will serve as your receipt. We will charge your credit card right before we ship your package(s). You can track your order by visiting our website at www.ShopNg.com/ordertracking."

You may want to check the order tracking

My kit still says in process which has been from the beginning. I ordered the 2nd day it came out.

Yes, I just checked, and it is the same for me, still In Process.

Is it true that some people that had the FGS test didnt have to pay? Would it be alright to send in a cousins dna instead of mine? We have the same ydna markers and SNPs.

My kit still shows in process as well. I also was not notified by National Geographic that my card was to be charged on 10/6 or that the kit was shipping.

(I am not saying this as if I am upset as I knew the possibilty of it shipping earlier than expected.)

But, anyway, I think we are all in agreement this is good news!

Only about 350 FTDNA customers' results from their FGS/FMS test were used in beta testing of the Geno 2.0 chip. It's probably the case that if you haven't been notified already by the Genographic Project that you were one of those 350 and will receive a free Geno 2.0 test, then you're not one of the lucky ones.

You can test a cousin instead of yourself, but you need to keep his results and accounts separate from yours. In other words, you shouldn't upload his Geno2.0 results to your own FTDNA account. Otherwise FTDNA will think his DNA samples are yours, and his samples could end up getting tested when you order new tests for yourself from FTDNA.

Keep in mind his autosomal and mtDNA results will be different from yours, and Geno2.0 tests those too.

I hate to be a nitpicker, but if 1798's and the cousin's mothers were sisters, they will have the same mtDNA haplogroup, with the very small possibility of an extra mutation in one set of results.

Well yes, but he said his Y-DNA results are the same as the cousin's, so I assume this is a paternal line cousin and therefore they're not related on the maternal line. Unless, of course, two brothers married two sisters, or something to that effect

Either way, the DNA and results from two different people should not be mixed up under the same kit number.

One person per kit number
