Does it usually take 2-3 weeks?
Geez, Blackstone results are taking a while.

it can because the US post office takes forever to get it there.

Yes, sometimes up to 6 wks.
I call them up daily when I see it delivered until I get the results. That seems to speed things along. Free tracking with usps for $3 shipped.

My last sample has been missing in action for over a month.
I always send my sample in a USPS Priority Mail padded envelope. Cost me seven bucks, but I sent one in last Thursday and had my results this Tuesday....and that is over a Holiday weekend!
Its usually roughly 2-3 for mine, Ive used them about 5 times in the past 8 months or so. Theyre probably busy and theres a backlog, plus the shipping can take 3-1000 days.
I have one to Wix (prepaid) that never made it. Money out the window.
That was 2-3 years ago. It's been so long I forget what car. Blackstone has always pulled through for me.
My next UOA will go to the local CAT dealer where I can physically drop it off.

It took the post office about 2 weeks to ship my sample to Fort Wayne. It is a 2 1/2 hour drive from my house......
Make sure to get tracking from USPS...

Mail it in a box or envelope if you want it get to it's destination quick.
Each Postmaster is required to keep the round container on his desk for a week before moving it on.
NAPA is better/cheaper than Blackstone.

Been using Blackstone for close to 15 years now and I could almost mark my calendar to the day two weeks out and I would have my results. The last one though, was 3 weeks. Still, I am not in a hurry and do not sweat it that much if it take a little longer.

The USPS is quite useless. Pony Express was faster. I've been sending oil samples for ~7 years (not to Blackstone), I use Polaris labs and UPS my samples. Online tracking, they are always there overnight (unless weekends) and I get results emailed within 2 working days.
Over 1 week is unacceptable.
