How long does it take to get the ICP test results?

[CaptainCooke]

Hi everyone,

I sent off my water sample for my ICP test results on the 16th. I still have not heard anything back. How long does this usually take?

Thanks!

I sent mine to ATI - about 10 days

I got mine in about a week and a half. That was during the USPS snafu when everything was taking weeks longer. I'd check with whomever you sent it to. Do you have a tracking number?

Mine took 10 days.

I've been waiting going on three weeks. Won't return my calls and emails. Not happy!

Never received mine back. I sent it on October 16th. I finally got a reply from them saying they never received it. I was foolish and didn’t take a photo of the tracking number on the return label before I dropped it in the mail. Not happy either.

I just got a test result back this week.
My sample arrived in Gardena, CA on 11/14, a saturday.
I believe ATI sent it to Germany on the following tuesday (11/17).
My results were posted on 11/24.

So 10 days from when they rec'd it in CA.

Yeah, I read a few posts of people losing their samples, or USPS rather. So I was sure to take pics of my label and tracking number and then I uploaded the tracking number to my USPS account to keep an eye on it along the way.

This is the weak point with ICP. The mail is clearly able to destroy sample envelopes with impunity. Mine sailed through unscathed recently. What I cant help but think about is that If I'd bought a raffle ticket to get this done it never would have happened. Go figure.
