Are they by chance coming from 500 SW Gary Ormsby Dr, Topeka, KS?
Got a package with my address and an unknown addressee name from there.
Looks to be a Post Office "Material Distribution Center" on google maps.

From our 1/18 order, yesterday we received text notice of a package shipment from "US DEPT HHS", which are the tests. While Informed Delivery indicates their scheduled delivery is 2/22, the latest status is that they are in our local Post Office this evening. So likely we will be getting them tomorrow.

Our tests came today, 28 days after the order. They are Roche brand, 4 tests in one box. July expiration.

We got them when we just returned from Fl. 5 tests from Siemens. Maybe a bonus for waiting?

Ditto for me.
Expiration date is July. It would have been nice to get some newer ones (I think the shelf life for most is 12 months), but with luck I may never need to use them.

Appreciate those adding info about what test received and expiration date!
Looked up "Siemens CLINITEST": shelf life 11mos.
For Roche, a short search didn't reveal shelf life.

The tests I received are iHealth & expire in July.
To compare, for the Quickvue tests I bought last year, the packaging says they were shipped in Nov 2021 & expire in Oct 2023.

From what I've read, some of the test kits have had their shelf life extended by several months. The BINAX-NOW test is one of those.
Anyway, it's not as if they suddenly become useless at the package date; they just start to become less reliable.

I got the IHealth from the Government and they expire August 2022. Bought some Binax tests a couple of weeks ago and they expire December 2022.

We ordered ours the 1st day they were announced and received them about 3 weeks later. Problem now is if we do need them we don't know where she put them LOL. She ask me saturday if I remembered what she did with them. All I know is she said she was going to put them up, so if we need to use them we may have to go to store after all.

My DW just informed me that she found our tests, in the drawer in bathroom where she keeps bandaids and other 1st aid stuff! She was actually looking for a tube of neosporin. But any way we both know where it is now ---untill we both forget again!

Also ordered on 01/18 and received the same today but expire 07/23/2022. Did not get a USPS notification that package would be arriving. I am leaving for a few days at a Nevada casino later this week. Plan to wear a mask but also test when I get back using my Binax kits that expire in April.

It drives me crazy when I put something in a "safe place" for future use, and then promptly forget the location! 
Suggestion: take a picture of the tests in the drawer with your phone. Then, when you want to use the tests and can't remember where they are - bingo - just scroll through your phone.
(Don't ask me how I know this works).
