As I know the yDNA and mtDNA from me, there was no point in taking 23andme for him, as MyHeritage is stronger in the raw autosomal DNA department.
It took 2 weeks for my mom's kit and 1.5 weeks for my dad's kit to go from "received" to "results are available" back in January this year.

Is my heritage actually as good/better than 23 and me in autosomal dna? Because there is a huge sale going on right now and I'm kind of interested in getting my parents tested lol.

Yeah, I hope there aren't any delays in both of our cases.

Yep, as Davidski told me at some point, when I asked about the best test for Global 25, he advised that it's something like Ancestry>MyHeritage>LivingDNA=23andme v5

You can grab a couple of 23andme v5 kits, Ancestry, MyHeritage and LivingDNA from your DNA relatives.
Just plug them in a random GEDmatch calculator, but having worked so much with K13, I remember the number of tested SNPs for genealogical purposes of the top of my head.

It's like 170k for Ancestry, 75k MyHeritage, 58k for both LivingDNA and 23andme v5
If you are on 23andme v3 or v4 like me, which use in the region of 170k SNPs for this calculator, then there's no point to "upgrade" to Ancestry.

Unfortunately Ancestry is not available outside US and some countries in Western Europe, so my options are limited to MyHeritage, LivingDNA and 23andme.

Spoiler!

Wow, thanks. I’m definitely going to be upgrading to ancestry myself, and I will buy this MyHeritage sale to test my parents. Let’s see how southern my Moldovan side is haha

Well, as I already concluded, if your Moldovan side is typical for the Northern region, then your Ukrainian side must be Hutsul/Carpathian highlander-like. I was modeling you with West Ukrainians initially and didn't realise that Hutsuls, who are also West Ukrainians, are quite Southern compared to them.

From you paternal side, from who are your Moldavian roots, Grandfather or Grandmother?

Well, you need to test him to know how your Moldavian side genetically is, but this, of course, if he is still alive.

Can you share some DNA results from 23andme of the people with 4 grandparents from Moldova that match you? Obviously don't share their pictures and full names.

This is the closest match I have. And it is through that Polish grandma. Their father is full Moldovan.
