    I concur with the reviews who believe the operation is a scam on the growing interest in DNA tests. A cumbersome service process, poor or less than knowledgeable IT. Things don't upload or downloaded video doesn't play. Direct e-mails to the CEO are blocked. Kicking myself for not finding these reviews first; it would have saved $$$$$! There's enough here to suggest to Mr. ********* to issue refunds to all those who have used their customer service system to solve problems.
    This form should be: dates (plural) of experience. I'm up to 3 weeks of trying to solve issues. Many days, many contacts, many hours spent waiting for responses.

    I just bought over $500 in kits last month that are now on sale for $116 less. I feel like I overpaid and was taken advantage of. I will not be recommending your company to anyone.
