I would guess not having them is due to you being in a denser population, slowing down the distribution.
Got mine in 7 days, they originally said 10, don't know where they are, but I have them.
I got mine in about 4 days.  I tested positive (amazon tests) and ordered everything I could three weeks ago ... waited 5 days for Amazon, got the US ones and state of Washington ones.  I'm now sitting on about 12 test kits.   I guess that makes me a hoarder, but justified for my immuno compromised SIL and 90 year old grandmother.   Distribution is certainly better in denser populations.

and it took two weeks for me to test negative.   Thus using three test kits.

Follow up.  Went to ER on Thursday afternoon and was lucky to get into a room right away.  Just got home today.  Somehow became one of 10k lucky people in the USA each year to get Legionaires Disease.  It is a bacterial pneumonia.  Antibiotics and some breathing therapy for 10 days and should be back to normal then.

Ironic that these tests were purchased from China.

That sucks.  I'm guessing that reliability will be poor like a lot that comes from there.

Once they finally gave me some breathing therapy I have been feeling better throughout the day.  Thank you!

Glad you are on the mend!  China does not care about the quality, just the commerce.

Thank you.  I am guessing I was probably 24 hours away from being in some big trouble.  Glad I went to the Emergency Room.

Thank you.

I did get the PCR covid test about 3 hours before I went to the hospital.  Got those results in the middle of the night that they were negative.  The ER room doctors already figured that out via a chest x-ray.

My home test kits did show up yesterday.  I will be in trouble if I need to be using them in the next few weeks.
