    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

    Their response does not include an immediate and full refund. If a competitor can complete the same job in under 3 weeks it is clear 6 months is a sign of their incompetence and inability to perform the services agreed to. My request is for a full refund!

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

    Their response does not satisfy me because they have given me this same generic response several times over the past 7 months. They have not started testing my dna. My dashboard on my portal shows that it has only been received not tested.  They are a bunch of liars and I think its ridiculous that they can just keep giving a generic response for 7 months saying "they are working on it". If thats true, my dashboard would say DNA extracted. A REFUND IS OWED.

    Better Business Bureau:
    I have reviewed the business's response to complaint ID# ********. However, I do not consider my complaint resolved.


    While the company states my kit requires reprocessing, I have become aware of numerous identical complaints circulating on social media. These complaints detail customers receiving the exact same auto-reply and facing extended waiting periods, some dating back to December of last year. The common explanation provided is that their kits also require "reprocessing."
    A six-month delay for DNA whole sequencing is excessive. Furthermore, the fact that so many customers are receiving the same response suggests a systemic issue rather than an isolated incident. It appears this business is employing delay tactics and not providing adequate recourse for its clients.
    This raises the question: Isn't addressing these very issuesdelay tactics and lack of customer supporta primary function of the **********************? The consistent pattern of complaints suggests a concerning business practice.
    Given the widespread nature of these issues, it does prompt the consideration of whether further collective action, such as a class action lawsuit, might be necessary to address these concerns.

    n. My own research, as well as reports from other customers online, indicates a pattern of extended delays. Some individuals have stated they have been waiting for results for over seven months with similar experiences of vague delay notifications and no estimated completion date. It is difficult to understand how such extensive and widespread delays can occur for every customer.I would have been willing to wait longer for my results if DNAComplete could provide a reasonable estimate for completion, such as a few additional weeks. However, their inability to offer any projected timeline, coupled with the denial of a refund, leads me to question the legitimacy and operational capabilities of this business.I request the Better Business Bureau's assistance in resolving this matter. I am seeking either the prompt delivery of my DNA test results or a full refund for the services not rendered.

    Good afternoon, I have reviewed your website where the claims are a few weeks and then in the portal states around 12 weeks.  23 weeks (where we stand now) is neither a few weeks nor is it around 12 weeks. You have provided zero proof any type of processing is actually being done and even today, you cannot give me any timeline.  If actual testing was being done you would have proof or records of that. You would have an estimated timeframe.  Clearly you have neither of those.

    I purchased my kit, registered it the same day I received it. Provided my samples the same day and used the prepaid label that was enclosed the very next day. My test was received by them 3/19/25. I have reached out twice and have been told I just need to keep waiting. Before you buy it says you will receive your results in just a few weeks. Then it goes to usually takes 12 weeks. I ordered this for medical reasons not just to know. I have been going to the **************** just to try and get expert care that Im not getting at home. I feel like something is being missed and the length of time and the fact that they just keep telling me I need to just wait until I receive an email about my results and they cannot provide any additional assistance. I paid over $800 for this test. As of today 7/1/25 its been 105 days from the date they received my test.
