Why prices vary from one website to another

Always compare the total price. Some advertised prices only cover the kit, and the lab analysis is paid afterwards. Others leave out shipping or the return. At Adnà, the advertised price includes the analysis and the report: only shipping for the informational test ($15) and taxes are added.

Can I get a refund?

Yes: full refund within 30 days of purchase if the sample collection envelope has not been opened (shipping costs excluded).
