Unfortunately, something happened where they lost my kit and never processed it, even though I have activated it. After weeks of silence, I reached out and they told me that I don't have kit registered. They needed my activation code, but I didn't have it anymore. Sad...

Another customer with another lost order :-)
Nothing personal about the agent who helped me—I’m sure they did all they were able to do. My issue is (presumably) the policy on test kits /Ombre/ lost.
Here’s the rundown: I order the kit with real human money, I do my little test (not particularly fun what with the poop and all, but that is a-okay and expected), I activated my kit, I sent in the kit. I waited. For months. I would’ve followed up earlier but I am stupid. Six months later and I don’t have my results, so I ask for help. I sent info showing my email receipt as well as the charge to my paypal but as I was unable to find my kit ID (honestly, that’s entirely on me, but still) the best I am offered is a coupon code to buy a new replacement kit for only 25 bucks. Apparently, my account didn’t show that I activated a kit despite having done so.
Uh.
Surely we can see the problem there. Did I do everything 100% correct? No. But tele issue remains that my kit, my kit purchased with real human money, was lost by Ombre (or someone) and the best I am offered is the opportunity to spend MORE real human money that I earned with my labor to rectify a mistake I didn’t make. Not cool, man. I had to play with my poop for nothing.
I heard of other reviewers having this issue but thought I’d be fine. Nope! You might go through this process sans issue (save your kit ID in five different places, or perhaps it’ll magically not work. Who knows?) but there’s a hefty chance you won’t. Don’t even bother unless you like to get angry for fun.

Hi there,
Unfortunately, without the Kit ID activated, you won’t receive the test results since we do not know which Kit ID is assigned to the customer until they activate it online. When our lab receives the samples, they do not receive any personal information, just the Kit ID (activation code). They process all the samples but they don't know who they belong to. This is to ensure to keep personal information confidential. The lab assumes that all samples they receive were already activated first since it is the first step in the instructions.
Since your sample was submitted to our lab without being activated first on the account before mailing in, what we can do is offer a replacement kit with a fee. Again, all kits that ship out from our fulfillment center are not registered. The activation codes in the test kits are not tied to the buyer until they register it online.
If you have any questions or would like to go through the replacement process, please contact our support team at [email protected].

I got a very quick response to my questions. I would have like to have received an email stating that my sample was received and my revisits would take 2-3 weeks, but I have all that info now. Thank you
