Lorey2007 Posted February 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I ordered the Emed tests package of 6 on Sunday. Yesterday I got a confirmation that they were shipped and I received them today. That was great service. Now the question the carboard shipping box has an eMed label, separate from the shipping label, with a large QR code it says: scan QR code to start testing or visit eMed.com ID# a-berdbnf-erf-aaa-aad (not real number) Can I open the carboard shipping box to make sure I have received the 6 tests. I don't plan on opening a test until I need to use one which would be later this month. I would just like to check the contents and the expiration date. Also the box has some loose stuff rattling around in it is that unusual? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot open the test boxes until instructed to do so by a proctor while taking the test(s). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikew0805 Posted February 2, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The shipping box, yes. The 6 individual boxes inside.. no. There is a small sleeve that slides, around each of the individual boxes. Once you get to that point, and they are separate, do not open. I got mine the other day as well. This is the second time I have used them.

Sheal Posted February 2, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2022 @Lorey2007Lucky you. I ordered mine on Thursday, received a notice that they were being shipped and arrived in Newark on Saturday. They were supposed to be here yesterday. Today, status changed to "delayed, no information" and then tonight it says they are to be delivered tomorrow. Still haven't left Newark though, they must like it there. I'm hoping to have them by Friday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peagreenid Posted February 2, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 2, 2022 It is really weird none of mine have the Cardboard sleeve on them. The only reason that I knew they came with one, because one of the tests was opened in the box so I had to have them replace it. The single replacement test came with the outer sleeve..? I hope it isn't required. But I guess I can put the sleeve around each box before we call the Proctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the sleeve from the batch I used last year, but the ones I ordered for this year had the sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the other way around for me - the batch I ordered in September had sleeves, but the group I ordered in January did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I used last month did not come with a sleeve either. Sherri🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovescats5 Posted February 2, 2022 #9 Share Posted February 2, 2022 What has been the expiration date on the tests you received? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicpersona Posted February 2, 2022 #10 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The old boxes (on the left in photo below) had the sleeve. The new boxes do not (on the right). Recent data points for the last 4-6 weeks or so are that the tests being received now have expiration dates of November or December, 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto. This is our 5th order and the first to arrive without the sleeve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted February 2, 2022 #12 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I took a proctored test with a "sleeveless" test, and it went fine. The scanning they want when you go to take the test is EITHER the bar code on the side of the package, or the QR code. My iphone13 did not recognize the QR code, but picked up the bar code just fine, and I proceeded with the test. The scanning is to verify you have a valid test kit.

Sheal Posted February 3, 2022 #16 Share Posted February 3, 2022 My order showed up last night. No sleeve on boxes, just sealed shut with tape like you would see on a package in the drugstore. DH commented that the expiration was something, 2023. Lol. I’m guessing January. I told him that was way longer than some of the kits others have received.

DrivesLikeMario Posted February 3, 2022 #18 Share Posted February 3, 2022 So if I use my laptop to do the test, how do I scan the bar code to get started? Do I need to do that with my phone then switch to my laptop. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a video, made by Tony of La Lido Loca, using the laptop for the emed test. It game me courage to attempt the online test. The proctored test is actually quite simple. Tony does lots of videos about cruising -- about one a day. Edited February 5, 2022 by SherriZ366 added link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
