How long does it take, Affinity?

I had a blood test done on 8/8/2019 and it just now showed up on my Spectrum app as ‘received at lab-not resulted’ on Friday, which was 8/16/2019. Labcorp is usually way quicker at getting my stuff back. I’m not worried at all about the results but I would hate to get popped for another $150 blood test if this one got damaged or lost at the lab.

I'm reading a lot of negative reviews about it.

Do not worry too much, blood at Labcorp takes more than a to be posted as received and after that about a day to post results. Last week I was tested for blood, 2 days later for urine and the urine was back in 2 days but the blood took 11 days to show the result. Even though I know all of my test will be negative I still worry about mishandling of the specimens, where do they store the containers waiting to be tested? And why are they not posted as “received in lab” until 11 days after they are collected?
