I'm so happy to uncover my rest of my ancestry besides mtDNA and Y DNA.
Ordered the kit during Christmas holidays because it was on discount and arrived today.
Sent back in the mail after doing the swabbing and it's prerequisites

Fingers crossed and let's hope my package doesn't get lost in transit :D

From what I've seen, I think they do a quality estimate, better than MyHeritage and FTDNA. Maybe you'll have your results in a month if you are lucky.

I am 100% sure that I'm 100% Southern European

Side note

They got less samples to process that's why the results will come up quicker unlike Ancestry or 23AndMe who are continuously receiving bulks of orders

Sorry if it is off topic.

I uploaded my raw data on Monday. Still waiting for results, although 72 hours passed.

No need to apologize : )

It's possible that they are short on staff members due to COVID that's why it's taking them so long
Just be patient and let them take their time.

You can also upload your raw data for free there.

Having a quality estimate depends on the quantity and diversity of your samples, actually. I tend to think that the more popular companies have more samples.

I uploaded my MH raw data there and as ancestry report I got only "100% European". There is option for full ancestry if I buy premium for 39$ though.
