Our selected home-kit offering excludes New York residents and samples collected or shipped from New York. DDC describes a separate process for New York cases, including authorized testing and controlled collection. Do not try to work around this storefront’s restriction.
Check the case, not only the shipping address
A delivery address is not the whole situation. Before ordering elsewhere, tell the laboratory where the participants live and where samples will be collected. Ask which service applies to those facts. Sending a kit to an out-of-state friend does not answer the laboratory’s questions about the actual case.
Ask for the appropriate process
Request current instructions for authorization, collection, the testing facility and report delivery. Ask about the complete price and required appointment arrangements. Explain any official purpose at the start so that the laboratory can discuss the appropriate service rather than a standard retail kit.
Do not guess at exceptions
A website’s laboratory badge does not mean every product on the site is appropriate for every state. Similarly, a checkout that accepts an address does not replace the laboratory’s requirements. When a situation involves more than one state, obtain a direct answer before paying or collecting samples.
What to do here
Do not use this site’s home-kit checkout for an excluded case. Contact the laboratory about its appropriate New York service instead. We do not present this article as a complete statement of New York law or as advice for a particular legal proceeding; it explains the limits of the product offered through this store.
