Saliva hormone test...

[zagdawg22]

So i figured i would have my test, estrogen, dht and dhea checked using the optimale home kit. I have had a handful of buddies use this and have it work quite well, with results being as good as when they got the blood test. My question is about the shipping back. It says to freeze for at least 3 hours before sending it back within the same day. Well i put it in the freezer but couldnt get it to the post office in time for it to be sent tonight. I will be mailing it first thing in the am, but should i leave it in the freezer over night or is there an issue with how long saliva is good for when freezing. Crazy question im sure, but i figured someone on this knowledgable board would know. Thanks!

I think they are sent back USPS Priority correct? It should get there 2-3 days in USA.
Its probably still pretty cold when it arrives to them.

i called them this am before sending it and they said to keep it in the freezer until the day you can send it in. just for any future bros that were wondering too. and thanks alin, always seem to give good advice.
