GetLabs? Has anyone used this service

last year

Hey! Has anybody used this service to get blood drawn at home and then sent to Labcorp or Quest or another service? Was it okay? Thank you.

Labcorp and Quest seem to have plenty of locations in populated areas. I'm not sure what the attraction of using a home service would be. Unless the "patient" has limited mobility.

No, I hadn't even heard of it but it would have come in handy as it became more difficult to take my mother out,

We have a Labcorp even in our small community, I'll often use it since the one in Polyclinic is so busy I'm waiting, wasting time as I'm imagining Seattle traffic beginning to build. The lab techs I've encountered at Labcorp are so nice - and good, I've yet to have one leave a mark or bruise drawing blood. I never time it to go on a Monday morning though, very busy then following a weekend when they are closed.....

FaKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE This person who called Torrey Massey is a Con and all the people referred from his side and a guy called Jose. NEVER USE NEVER USE NEVER USE, ITS A SPAM i had a really bad bad the worst experience in my life with those fake people, these people are a spam, they don't have a company or a store or even a services to be provided they just have a bunch of cons working with them. they take the down payment to start the project and then they start messing at your home and leave and never show up or come back and never answer the phone. in addition to the address above is not an office location : surprise its a complex for apartments. please be careful and never contact these people coz u will definitely gonna lose your money. i went to the police dept. and i made a report on them and they are looking for those cons now. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND REPORT ABOUT BFF HOME SERVICES EVERYWHERE TO MAKE THEM STOP AND DO NOT CON ON ANYONE ELSE.

Has anyone been called for US District Court jury service?
Q

Thanks for all of your insightful and constructive comments. I have processed this and relaxed a little. I also found some accounts from jurors who have served on Federal trials on line and it sounds like an amazing experience. So - while my circumstances wouldn't make me ideal for a super long trial while my kids are still young, I decided that on my form I will outline my situation and then request at a minimum a postponement to a date during the school year when I would have some reliable certain child care during the day. I think what upset me most is that I am called so often and a lot of people my age have never been called. I know I am not the only person who is called frequently by a long shot, but shouldn't there be a way to spread this service out more evenly? Next I am certain it will a grand jury summons.... sas95 - I do understand what you are saying. I truly enjoyed my experience as a juror on the one trial I served on. I was impressed by how thorough and thoughtful we were as jurors. At the time I had no child care concerns so it was very easy to manage. I keep saying to my husband, I would be thrilled to get a summons like this when our kids are older - just not now!

Like a bunch of others on this forum, we are also in SW Florida. Here's how i find people: - Ask neighbors. Even if you don't know them. Everyone is renovating right now - drop a note in the mailbox of your neighbors where there's work going on and ask them to text you if they wouldn't mind sharing their experiences on contractors. - Ask your realtor. This is a no-brainer. - Do some research on kitchen cabinet brands you like, by researching on this forum and the cabinet suppliers in your town. Go to the cabinet store fronts to see the cabinets in person, and when you find a couple stores/cabinets you get a good vibe from, ask them next steps. They almost always want you to have a contractor lined up before coming to them - so ask them for three names for contractors they like working with. - Drive around a few neighborhoods and look for GC and architect signs. Look for projects of similar size/neighborhoods/style of house to yours, and keep note of the names you see. Google them. Look at their portfolios. - Go on a neighborhood listserv. Even if you aren't currently a member, join something like Nextdoor. It's filled with boomers sharing this kind of info. - Ask literally anyone you know in the new town. The yoga teacher. Your hair stylist. Your kids' friends parents at the busstop. BUt you have to do some limited work yourself, by googling the recommendations you get, checking their reviews, filtering out those that don't look like a good fit, etc.

Ah, I thought you were looking for a playmate for Joey!

Sorry, I have no experience with getlabs and based on what I’m seeing online, I’d be looking elsewhere. If the doctor isn’t offereing to arrange for home testing, I’d contact major labs like Quest to see what they offer. In my father's case his providers made the arrangements.

I read those online reveiws too-I was hoping someone here would say it was fine and dandy. My elderly parent needs bloodwork at home. The doctor did arrange it with another company who messed up and I was just trying to get it done quickly. I'd like the results. I am calling the company that doctor arranged to see what we can work out. They have a sick elderly person waiting until 3 pm for fasting bloodwork. That's not gonna work for us. THANKS EVERYONE.
