Oceamo icp turnaround time

Hi.

Because the suspense is killing me anyone know what the wait typically is for the oceamo icp test. Shipped is last Saturday and tracking shows it was delivered Wednesday morning. Curious from delivery received what numbers of workdays should be expected.

Somewhere between 7-14 days depending on when they receive it in Houston and overnight all of the samples to Europe.

Ahh so testing is done overseas. There is not a small sampling center in the US. Wonder why if that’s the case do they not just uses the overseas address on the return label and skip the Houston exchange

Test are shipped to Austria on Monday and Friday so you should get your results Tuesday or Wednesday

Cost?
Import/export customs duties and paperwork?

One package containing 100 samples would not cost nearly as much as 100 separate packages.

I remember reading that shipping them normally to an overseas address results in long delays in customs.

Shipping cost. Cheaper, and smarter actually, to drop ship to a collection site and create one box to send to final destination. ATI does similar. I've found with ATI I can get a turn around time between 7 and 9 days. Oceanmo is the same but it really comes down to the hobbyist getting the timing right.
