I really like the lay out of the Living DNA website

I really like the lay out of the Living DNA website . It is easy to navigate even for a technophobe such as myself! I also think the regular updates and the new information regarding the possible origins of my ancestors fascinating. I have used several DNA sites and this one is by far my favourite. I am hoping, with new technology, that there will be plenty more to find out in the future and am confident that Living DNA will be able to help with this.

Excellent experience …

From start to completion my experience with Clare could not of been any better. The response to my queries were always responded to quickly, and my requests were never to much work. I have had my dna tested with a few companies and this is by far the best customer service I’ve had so far.

I ordered an ancestry DNA kit from Living DNA before a postal strike hit Canada. I informed the customer service team that i had not yet received my kit. Their response was immediate (on New Year’s Eve no less) and generous. They are sending me a replacement kit. Outstanding customer service. This is a business that will thrive

Excellent customer support

Having placed an order I needed to update it with a second kit. I contacted customer support and received a fast response and Clare sorted it all out for me with an invoice and a simple payment. My wife has a kit and she is extremely pleased with her results and support. Overall five star and very happy.

I can't believe how helpful they have been. I messed up the first test ( actually I really messed it up). Good news...they sent me another kit in the mail. Unfortunately we have a postal strike at present in Canada. I wait for it with utmost patience as I know that when I do send it in that it will be ingood hands. Thank you.

Awesome Customer Service

I was so excited to process my ancestry test that my fingers went haywire, and my freshly swabbed q-tip fell on the dirty chair mat. I emailed tech support. They were prompt, understanding, and gracious and had a replacement kit on its way within 24 hours and at no extra charge!

Uploaded results

I uploaded my Family Tree DNA results to Living DNA to get clarity on my Asian DNA, and I was so happy when I saw my Asian results from Living DNA. It was really accurate from what I see and expected, and I was surprised that I not only did I have European ancestry from Ireland and Great Britain, but Finland as well (I am half Asian half European American). I would really recommend Living DNA to anybody, especially if they have Asian ancestry. Living DNA is awesome!

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear that you have not received your results yet. Please email our customer support team who will be able to check whether your sample has arrived at the lab. help@livingdna.com

I would also like to add that it is not complicated to return samples to us. Simply attach the identification sticker to the swab pouch, place it in the provided return envelope and post it back to us. Some countries have pre-paid return bags and some you need to add postage but this is clear on the envelope.

Kind regards,

Clare
