The estimated date for return of results is *very* rough. It's not unusual for results to return early, nor is it unusual for them to be late. If they have to re-run the tests, you can double the return time. You can check to see if any tests are being re-run by going to the "Pending Results" tab on your member page. To avoid any unnecessarily nail-biting, the secret is to send in your kit and forget about it -- and the target return date. The results will return when they return.
