OH! That is a bunch for postage and handling. For my 3 kits, the price was $19.95 for postage and handling. Nice to consider all of that besides the testing benefits of each company. So much to think about. I drug my feet for 3 years deciding on the test that was the "best". On Saturday, I decided to "Just Do It" as the Nike saying goes,... and purchase 23andme kits. If it is not the "best" kit then have to deal with my decision.

I just ordered from the US and the price was $99 for the first kit and 20% off for any additional = $80 for the 2nd kit. Either you bought your kits a while ago or that is how much better the exchange rate is for the Euro compared to the dollar. Also, 23andme does not do any Y-DNA testing just for an FYI. FTDNA is the one to go for that.

I got the info from 23andme for delivery to Ireland, it is $80 for one kit and $49 for each additional kit. I don't know what it is for the other companies.

Thanks everyone for sharing stories and info; very helpful.
