The USPS website is now letting you place your order for free at-home COVID-19 test kits.

The tests are completely free. Orders will usually ship in 7-12 days. Order your tests now, so you have them when you need them.

Residential households in the U.S. can order one set of 4 free at-home tests from USPS.com. Here’s what you need to know about your order:

  • Limit of one order per residential address
  • One order includes 4 individual rapid antigen COVID-19 tests
  • Orders will ship free starting in late January

It takes less than two minutes, and you need to provide only your contact information and shipping address. With tests shipping in late January, you’ll likely get them in February, depending on shipping delays. CCP is not associated with this website, so we can’t assist with any issues with the website. This is a government initiative, and more information can be found at www.covidtests.gov/.

Check out these FAQs for additional information on how to get your at-home over-the-counter COVID-19 diagnostic test (authorized by the US FDA) at no cost, either through reimbursement or free of charge upfront. A lot of good information here!

IMPORTANT NOTE: You do NOT need a prescription or a note from your provider for these at-home tests.
