    I purchased a genome kit at Dante Labs, to get my DNA sampled. The transaction took place on the 21st of November 2023 22:08, for 299 euro. Their site states 8 weeks processing time. I still did not get my results. I have kept contact with them,asked for updates, but they kept delaying. On the 2nd of May 2024 they claimed my sample did not pass quality control. They promised my sample would be ready 3 weeks after receiving my second sample, a promise they again did not keep. I requested a refund. They did not respond to my last 2 emails. I'm sure you are getting more complaints about this company. However please let me know if you need additional information.

    I purchased a genome kit back in November of 2023 (process should take about 3 - 5 months total). I am in the 9th month, and no one is responding to me anymore. I'm trying to now get my money back, and again no response. It appears, via the web, that many have this same issue; almost scam like. Their last customer service response to me was 2 months ago.

    I ordered a genome sequencing service from this company in May of 2023. They advertise an 8 week turnaround for processing and delivering results that they still promise to this day. It has been almost a year and a half and I still have not received my results. I have tried to contact the company on several occasions to get information on the status of my results but to no avail. The only response I have received were two response emails after my initial complaint guaranteeing me that there was nothing wrong with my sample and that they were just backlogged but sequencing would be started soon. Since then I have emailed several more times trying to see where things were at but to no response. I tried to find a company phone number but the one I was able to find and try has no answer no matter what time of day or day of the week I call. All I want is my results from the service I paid for and for Dante Labs to adjust their terms and services to reflect a more accurate timeline as every other customer of theirs I've talked to expresses the same situation as me. At this point it is just blatant false advertising and failure to deliver product.

    Regarding Dantelabs.com On 24 October 2023 I placed an order for two DNA kits, whole genome sequencing, $398, order number #********.The kits were not shipped to my address until April 2024. Specimens were collected within three days of arrival at my home address.Kit number ******** reregistered 6 August 2024 ********************* number ******** reregistered 6 August 2024 ******************* Both kits shipped by *** in April 2024 using the prepaid and preaddressed mailer that accompanied the orders.On 12 June 2024 I placed an inquiry with the lab asking for a status update. On 13 June 2024 they responded that the specimens had not arrived yet. That day I responded that the specimens had been shipped to the designated facility in ***** using the enclosed shipping label on the order.On 26 June I sent another inquiry about the order, but no reply was received. Since that time I have sent numerous inquiries through the contact portal at the company website. Again, the responses have been forthcoming.It took at least six months to receive the specimen collection kits, three days for me to collect the specimens, and then less than one week to ship the specimens to the lab. As yet, there is no indication that the specimens have been received, much less processed.I need an explanation and replacement collection kits. Otherwise, refund my money.

    Order placed October 2023. Collection kits took more than six months to arrive. Specimens were collected within one week of delivery of the collection kits. Specimens were mailed back to Dante Labs in less than one week. Specimens status cannot be tracked and Dante Labs cannot account for the specimens. Multiple requests for resolution have either had insufficient resolution or no response whatsoever. I want the order fulfilled as paid in advance. If new specimen kits are required, then they should be mailed out immediately to collect new specimens.

    Purchased a MyGenome test and was sent the collection kit. After returning the kit, there were no updates on the progress after 8 weeks. I contacted Dante and after multiple emails, they finally replied that there were some delays and to give it more time. After multiple additional emails it has now been over 50 weeks with no results. I can only conclude that they are not providing what they are promising customers. Completely unacceptable and warranting further attention.

    I ordered a genetic testing kit from Dante Labs and was told in an email from the company that I would receive a separate email to set up an appointment with a healthcare provider and I never received an email or a response from the company. Quote from email sent to me by Dante Labs: In the *************, a prescription from an independent professional is required to receive a genetic analysis. You can receive the prescription by answering the questionnaire on the 1Health telemedicine platform.After receiving no email to make the appointment for the prescription and receiving no reply from the company I looked up the companies reviews and many people have reported being scammed by them and paid hundreds of dollars and never received their genetic testing kits or results. I am needing genetic testing done for my health and this company has ripped me off. I feel as though Dante Labs takes advantage of people who are desperate for answers regarding their health. I want a full refund.

    I found the company on safari. Hired them and paid a total of ******. The website promised info in 6 weeks. I am very ill and Dr. said to get a dna test. The 1st kit had no return label. Took weeks for contact (no phone # avail.) got new kit, stuck myself (causing pain) which was required. Sent sample back Nov. 1st 2023 (still have ***** receipt) Until about March 2024 my dashboard said awaiting sample I kept trying to contact them and nothing! Went to my bank to have charges reversed. Bank contacted Dante re no service given for paymt. Got full refund from my bank in late April, as Dante never responded to the bank either.

    On August 31, 2023, I purchased two MyGenome Sequencing Kits for my wife and daughter, totaling ****** euros (Order # ********). At the time of purchase, Dante Labs explicitly committed to an 8-week Turnaround Time, as evidenced by the order confirmation.I promptly sent both kits (Kit numbers - ******** and ********) to Dante Labs for analysis, and the status of both kits was updated to "We received your kit" on September 13, 2023. However, despite this initial acknowledgment, no further progress was made for over a month.On October 23, 2023, the status for both kits was updated to "QC completed," indicating that the quality control process had been finished. However, since that date, there has been no further update on the analysis stage, and both kits remain in this state.As the promised turnaround time of 8 weeks was not respected, I contacted Dante Labs for the first time on December 15, 2023, to raise a complaint. In response, I received a dismissive answer stating that they did not have an exact timeframe for the analysis, thereby confirming their breach of the commercial promise regarding the turnaround time.Subsequently, on February 13, 2024, I contacted Dante Labs again, this time requesting a refund due to their failure to fulfill their obligations under the sale agreement. Once more, I received a response indicating their inability to guarantee a timeframe for the analysis, with no mention of the possibility of a refund.Undeterred, on March 18, 2024, I made another attempt to request a refund from Dante Labs. Unfortunately, to date, I have received no response whatsoever.It is clear that Dante Labs has repeatedly breached its commercial promise to customers by failing to meet the promised turnaround time and failing to provide adequate customer service in response to complaints. Therefore, I am formally requesting a refund of the ****** euros paid for the MyGenome Sequencing Kits.PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ***** IS IN EUROS.

    I have purchased a *********** from Dante Labs on 12.29.2023 and they still did not deliver the service. Till 2 months ago they kept saying that they have lots of backup orders and would get back to me soon. Now since it has been over 5 months that I made the purchase, I no longer need their service and I have requested them to refund my money. They are not responding to my emails. Can you please help resolve this problem?Thank you.
