Where is my waybill?

Instead of a paper waybill, you will receive a digital waybill which you can access on your app. Please refer to steps 20 and 21 above.

What if the courier doesn't come?

If this happens please email info@eightygood.com and let us know the collection address, your contact details and the day/time for us to reschedule the collection. We apologies for the inconvenience.We believe that you should remain in control of your data at all times, and only you hold the keys to access your information.

What if I accidentally selected the wrong collection method?

No problem! Please email info@eightygood.com and we can help schedule a collection or cancel one.

I have an issue when dropping my package off at Postnet.

Unfortunately, some Postnet branches struggle with the digital waybill. Please ask that they charge the delivery to BioCertica's account and that the package is sent delivered to: CAF DNA Sequencing Unit, Lab B102 Blk B JC Smuts Building Van Der Bijl Street Stellenbosch 7600

Why is there an error message when I register?

When registering your kit in the app, please make sure to:

1) Scan the barcode code on your premium member card.
2) 0Scan the barcode on the side of the saliva tube box. If you encounter issues with scanning the codes, you can manually register your kit by entering the following information: BioCertica ID: This is the number on your premium member card that starts with 589... Saliva Sample: This is the BCRT number found on your saliva tube. Enter "BCRT" followed by the last 4 digits of the barcode. If these steps don't resolve the issue, please email info@eightygood.com.

Will the sample get ruined if it is not shipped the same day?

Your sample will be fine as long as you keep it out of direct sunlight and ensure it is well mixed with the solution in the tube. This solution is a buffer that will keep the sample stable but please do send your sample in as soon as possible.

When do I get my results?

Your results will be available 6–8 weeks from the time we receive your sample. If there is a delay, we will be in touch.
