Makes a great Christmas Stocking stuffer.
Or give 'em away at Halloween
Residential households in the U.S. are now eligible for another order of free at-home tests on USPS.com. Here's what you need to know about your order:
Each order now includes #8 rapid antigen COVID-19 tests (FDA has more details about at-home tests, including extended shelf life and updated expiration dates: Authorized At-Home Over-the-Counter COVID-19 Diagnostic Tests)
Your order of #8 tests will come in #2 separate packages (#4 tests in each package), each with its own tracking number
Packages will ship free

Time to restock!
Thanks for the heads up.

The FDA has extended the expiration dates on some of the existing home tests. The version I have was extended by three months!

(15,100 posts)However, when I try, it tells me that we've ordered our maximum. I've only gotten 2 sets and have used them up. Maybe someone needs to update the website?

(38,526 posts)I ordered them as soon as they were available, as I did the two prior times.
There hasn't been a new release in the past 3 months. (There are others in this thread confirming the same experience.)
