This was a very concerning experience.
This was a very concerning experience. After waiting several weeks for results, I received repeated emails asking customers to “please be patient.” Eventually I was informed that both of my samples had been accidentally destroyed — a cortisol test and an Ultimate test — even though they were collected on different days using different collection methods. Having two separate samples lost or destroyed raises serious concerns about sample handling and internal quality control. I was issued a full refund. The amount of time lost and the complete failure to process either sample made the experience extremely frustrating. Until their processes and communication improve, I would avoid.

Hello Kristen. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration and time lost. We understand how concerning and disappointing this must have been. We want to take a moment to clarify what happened, as transparency is something we take very seriously. Your samples were not destroyed by our team. Occasionally, samples arrive at the lab in a condition that makes them unsuitable for accurate analysis, which can happen due to improper collection or damage during transit. In every such case, we always provide the customer with a clear explanation of the reason for rejection, so there is never any ambiguity about what occurred. If we had proceeded with an unsuitable sample, we would not have been able to provide you with reliable results, and accurate data is something we're never willing to compromise on. That is why, in all such cases, we always issue a free replacement kit so members can retest without any additional cost or discuss alternative forms of compensation, as we did in your situation. We hear your feedback on communication and are actively working to ensure our messaging is clearer and more timely so that customers are never left feeling in the dark. Your experience is helping us improve, and we're grateful for that. If you'd ever like to give SiPhox another chance, we'd love the opportunity to show you a much better experience.
