“Are these tests available outside the United States?
We are happy to serve international customers, but each country regulates the export of sheds differently. If you can find out how to get the sheds to the US legally, we will run the tests!”
Anyone know if the status Paid: Pending Shed actually updates once the envelope with order ID on it shows up there? Just wondering how long until I should worry if it got there or not.
Well darn, I suppose I’ll still need to start the pairings I was hoping to eliminate if not the test results I want.
Definitely wasn’t panicking - was only curious if it was actually reporting on receipt of the envelope, or when someone catches up recording that they came. Looks like the latter.
I’m sure @john is already thinking about providing QR codes for the envelope so they can be easily scanned in right on arrival.
To be upfront, we don’t know. The scientists are adding new genes as fast as they can, but we don’t know what order they’re going in or exactly how long each one takes.
Is there any update on testing progress? It’s been open for awhile now and I haven’t heard of anyone receiving results yet. I realize there was a huge initial rush but seems like there should be a good number of results sent out based on all the interviews regarding this leading up to launch.
Not trying to be negative, just so excited about this project and anxiously awaiting news.
Its hard to quantify how huge that rush was. While we all knew this would be an amazing addition to the reptile world, it was completely unexpected how many people would actually follow through.
Usually when you advertise something, everyone will jump on the hype train but then only 1/3 will actually be intrested come launch day. That was not the case here. They are swimming in sheds right now.
The noise coming from RGI right now sounds like they should be fully caught up with current tests within a few weeks.
There is a silver lining to this in that they have now been working at full speed since launch and are finessing thier process to make the future as smooth as possible.
Looks like as long as you can send your sheds to RGI (located in the US), they can test for you regardless of location. Upon purchasing tests, RGI will send you instructions for how and where to ship your sheds to be tested.
