Excellent services

First of all, they are the first customer support that I have seen taking their job seriously. They reply promptly, the message is clear, concise and addresses the issue at hand, providing practical solutions. Moreover, I have been assigned the same real person to answer my queries forumulated at different periods of time, which is great because I benefited from comprehensive support.

Even though I did not get the DNA test, Living DNA's team was very helpful

Even though my country did not allowed his resident to access DNA test, the team I reached out to was lovely.

They try to help me the best they could.
In the end I got my purchase refund.

Thanks to the team who helped me !

Lost sample in postal system immediately supported by Living DNA.

When my first sample was lost in the US Postal System, Living DNA immediately sent out a second test kit - no questions asked. The Living DNA customer support individual, Clare, was of utmost help and stayed in contact through the whole process. My second sample was successful with results posted today, 18 April 2024. Hats off to Living DNA.

After a guiding of your team I found the report I was looking for. Perhaps to make it more clear / simple a room for improvement. But as a summary this was/is the only DNA lab reporting the Neanderthaler share of ones dna. Greatfull the have it now!
I highly respect also that you repsonce the the E-mail questions. Not everyone is doing, mostly the offer a robot to communicate with.

Top customer service

Top customer service, and a quite fast results process which was thorough and far more in-depth than I thought when I approached this company. No hesitation in making a recommendation.

Clare is good

When I asked a clarification, I appreciated the quick reply from Living DNA, by a human (not robot). At duty was Clare: intuitive, answered professional. Wish you all the best, good will for the work you do!

Utterly surprised with my ancestry results!

The whole process, from collecting the sample till getting the DNA test results, was easy-to-use, efficient and fast.
The DNA test results, were fascinating because they provided information of origin and track of migration from paleolithic times,to classical era and recent times. My DNA test results were equally surprising regarding my origins!

Got the full kit as a present for my wife. No issues with kit delivery or updated but the results were so shockingly bad that it left me angry and soundly disappointed. Such a generic result report I could have compiled a more specific one with my eyes closed. Didn't learn anything from said report apart from I wouldn't recommend to anyone

Shipping Delays and Customer Service

I had some uncertainties about my shipping of product as I was traveling abroad - Clare and other staff assured me and replied quickly and made me feel safe with my order and the process. I did end up receiving the kit in time during my travels. Those kinds of customer service and care and reassurances make all the difference to a person and made me feel like I wasn’t just another order number. Clare was especially helpful in guiding me on what to do once I received the kit. I love companies that operate with heart and soul. Thanks Clare and staff!

Great service

My sample got lost in the post... twice. It was no problem though, because Living DNA were happy to send a replacement kit each time. When it was finally received, the processing time was much quicker than I had expected it to be.
