Easy

The whole experience was pretty straight forward. Stupidly, I had forgotten to register my sample through the app before sending it back. But fortunately, customer service could look it up in their system.

Not worth the money, generic and not helpful

Directions, quality of the kit and ease of use were all great. Unfortunately the reports themselves are far below what I had come to expect from the reputation and website. Outcomes are incredibly generic and most work on a liklihood scale. Basic information was inaccurate, for example - liklihood you have brown eyes, was incorrect. Liklihood you have red hair, was incorrect. Likelihood of mathematical genius, was incorrect. These reports all seem pointless and I wouldn't recommend getting the premium kit. I could see value in something like family planning reports, but again it's just a likelihood scale and doesn't really provide overly valuable insight. It's definitely not worth the price. If you have legitimate curiosities or concerns to explore I'd look at a different avenue entitely.

Complete Nightmare (or SCAM)

Complete Nightmare (or SCAM). Local Fedex regulations require that CircleDNA generate a control number to authorize the pick up of my sample.

I have emailed them 5 times in the past 11 days, received 1 response to the 3rd email, provided them with what they needed, but received no additional follow up since.

I have tried calling their number countless times for the past 5 days, but it is forever "busy" and sends me to voicemail regardless of what time I call. They clearly do not seriously intend to answer this hotline.

Their instructions advise you to send the sample back the same day taken for highest efficacy, but because they are uncontactable, I am now stuck with an 11-day old sample.

The current status is still unresolved. They are still unreachable, and I do not know what will happen to the $300+ "premium" kit I bought, whether I will ever be able to send it back, and even if I do, how accurate the results of this old sample will be.

There are plenty of other DNA test kits, do your research, and avoid CircleDNA at all costs.

** Update

To CircleDNA: I cannot respond to your reply because you did not provide a contact information to reply to. I tried calling again, but of course you did not answer your phone. The only way I can respond is by editing my review. The sample has been collected today (15 Jan). I will further update this review with a detailed, chronological account of my end-to-end experience after I get my results; For your benefit and also for potential customers.

You requested me to provide my full name and contact details, but obviously I will not share these in a public forum. But the ticket IDs are:

- Ticket ID 112266 dated 1 January
- Follow up email dated 5 January
- Ticket ID1121932 dated 8 January.
- Follow up email dated 9 January
- Follow up email dated 11 January

Reply from CircleDNA

Dear Edward, our apologies for your recent experience with us and the challenges you have faced in obtaining a control number to authorize the pick-up of your sample. Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the lack of timely response and difficulty in reaching their customer service hotline.

I understand that you have made multiple attempts to contact CircleDNA via email and phone over the past 11 days, but have received limited response and faced ongoing difficulties in getting through to their customer service team. I can imagine the level of frustration this has caused, and I assure you that I will do my best to assist you in resolving this matter promptly.

Firstly, I would like to acknowledge that the delay in generating the control number and the subsequent lack of follow-up from CircleDNA has resulted in your sample being 11 days old, just to ease your mind, once the sample is collected, the swab has a shelf-life of 3-months before it needs to reach our lab. The swab would need to be stored at room temperature.

Considering the urgency of your situation, I kindly request your permission to escalate this matter directly to CircleDNA's management team. By doing so, I hope to expedite the resolution process and ensure that your concerns are addressed with the utmost priority. To proceed with the escalation, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with the following information:

Your full name and contact details, and the ticket number so we can loacat your emails. Rest assured, I will personally reach out to you and convey the urgency of the matter. I will strive to obtain a prompt resolution and ensure that you receive the necessary assistance to either return the kit.

Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced, and I assure you that I will do everything within my capacity to assist you in resolving this matter as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I look forward to your prompt response with the requested information. Should you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Best review!

What I really love about the premium kit is all the back up information, confidence, level, and clarity of how lifestyle choices can affect things! There were three things that didn’t match up with a few things about my Health, but the overall accuracy is most definitely worth the money (disclaimer, I got it on sale though). But I truly feel passionate about what this company does, and is doing and appreciate their work very much!!

The over all speed of delivery of the report and the fact that most of the details on the report felt pretty accurate based on my daily life and so on. It was great. Also the massive number of data points that were pointed out was crazy amazing.

Beware of 11.11 Promotion Scam and Unresponsive Customer Service

I recently attempted to take advantage of CircleDNA's 11.11 promotion, and my experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. On November 11, 2023, I eagerly decided to purchase a special deal package for US$140, only to find myself caught in what feels like a blatant scam.

I diligently filled in all of my personal and payment information, excited about the promised deal. However, to my dismay, the transaction failed without any clear explanation. This left me not only without the much-anticipated promotion but also questioning the security of my personal details.

The aftermath of this failed transaction was an absolutely appalling customer journey. It felt as though I had fallen into a pit of frustration and stress. The lack of transparency and the absence of a functioning support system only intensified my dissatisfaction.

To make matters worse, I attempted to reach out to CircleDNA via email to address this issue, attaching screenshots of my failed transaction and any relevant information for their investigation. However, to my disbelief, I received no reply. This lack of response has only added insult to injury, leaving me with no resolution or explanation for the dubious 11.11 promotion failure.

I am deeply unsatisfied with the entire experience and urge CircleDNA to take immediate action in rectifying these issues. Customers should not have to endure scams, faulty transactions, and unresponsive customer service. I hope this review serves as a warning to others considering engaging with CircleDNA during promotions, as my experience has been far from the promised seamless and trustworthy process.

I'm truly sorry for the frustration you experienced during CircleDNA's 11.11 promotion. If you were unable to check out, it's would be because the offer had reached its limit and was sold out. which is stated in the pop-up window on the check out error page. That certainly should have been communicated more clearly, and I completely understand how disappointing and confusing that can be.

Regarding the delay in support, I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the extended response time. The high volume of email inquiries resulting from the 11.11 sales might have overwhelmed our support system, causing delays in addressing individual concerns promptly.

Your feedback is crucial, and we're working to improve our processes to ensure smoother experiences and better support during promotions. If there's anything specific we can do to assist you further or if you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Nightmare with CircleDNA's use of Fedex

Problem with my understanding of CircleDNA's use of Fedex. After I'd spen money on a 'premium' service I spent ages on the phone, and on a computer screen trying to figure out how to send the sample to this organisation.

Circle DNA provide links to Fedex websites that don't work, not good customer care. I ended up taking to nearest Fedex outlet to send...

BEWARE! Dreadful company based in China not UK!

A really poor company, I had a terrible experience from start to finish. Not UK based, they are in China and uncontactable when you need them. There are many more reliable and trustworthy companies available than CircleDNA - use one of them!!
