23andme where to mail
To mail your DNA sample to 23andMe, you'll need to follow these steps:
- Order your kit: First, you need to order a 23andMe kit from their website. You can choose from various options, including a Health + Ancestry kit or a DNA Ancestry kit.
- Collect your sample: Once you receive your kit, you'll need to collect a saliva sample from your mouth. You'll find a tube and a cotton swab in the kit. Follow the instructions to collect a small sample of your saliva.
- Mail the sample: Place the tube with your saliva sample in the pre-paid return envelope that came with your kit. Make sure to seal the envelope securely.
- Affix the pre-paid label: The envelope already has a pre-paid label, so you don't need to add any additional postage.
- Mail the envelope: Drop off the envelope at a mailbox or a post office. Make sure to mail it within 7-10 days of collecting your sample.
Important mailing details:
- Make sure to use the pre-paid return envelope provided with your kit. This will ensure that your sample is processed correctly and efficiently.
- Do not use a different envelope or add additional postage, as this may cause delays or errors in processing your sample.
- If you're mailing your sample from outside the United States, you may need to use a different shipping method and pay additional postage. Check with 23andMe's customer support for more information.
Tracking your sample:
- Once you mail your sample, you can track its progress on the 23andMe website. Log in to your account, go to the "My Account" section, and click on "Track Your Kit."
- You'll receive an email notification when your sample is received and processed.
That's it! After mailing your sample, 23andMe will analyze your DNA and provide you with personalized results, including ancestry information, genetic health risk reports, and more.
