Dear Vitor,

During this current pandemic, there is a high volume of shipment along with restrictions which will delay the time it takes for a kit to arrive at a lab. This is outside of MyHeritage's control.

We have a policy of waiting 44 days to replace a DNA kit that is shipped to our lab. We do so because if we will send you a free replacement kit before that time, it will automatically cancel the original kit. This means that if the lab will receive the sample in a few days, they will not be able to analyze it and you would need to restart the process with the new kit.

Feel free to send me a message from your registered e-mail address to shane.vipsupport@myheritage.com if you have further questions

Kind regards,
Shane, MyHeritage Team

Dear MyHeritage HR and management team. First, I want to tell you a little about myself. I have flown all over the world for work from Japan, China to Hungary, Spain. Italy and multiple other countries for work. So, with that being said when you see customer service as excellent as I have witnessed with the MyHeritage team I felt it important to let you know that you are getting it right. This is what separates a good company from the best in class. I consider you the best in class and that is due to people like Isabelle from Ireland and Zvonimer. In my opinion I would look to bring both into a role of train the trainer. They offer so much to a great team. Please forward this review to each of their supervisors and may God Bless you, your team, your co-workers and all you friends through this coronavirus pandemic. Have a great upcoming year and again great job to each of you. Thank you, Mike Garvonic Clinton Township Michigan USA,

Bästa support
May 15, 2020

Grymt bra support, fick inte tag i support samma dag som jag ringde men det är på grund av covid-19 så det är förståeligt. Men dom ringde upp dagen efter... Fick även en bästa tänkbara kompensation som jag inte hade räknat med då mitt testkit inte har kommit fram till dom., och givetvis skickar dom ut ett nytt

Excellent Website and service. Got very far up on my genealogy tree in about 2 days. Purchased the DNA test but could not get myself to do it yet so instead went up the genealogy part.

Absolutely bad experience.
First, you take extra money without any reason. 119 apart the 58 of the beginning.
Them your creepy Telefon system is real trash...
Just spend time and energy for nothing...
All the email that I sended and information about this extra robery, anyone of them works...
After three weeks, you contact me...
Of course, one and no more...
Your company sucks

Dear Satya,

I am sorry you feel this way.

I'd like to clarify that MyHeritage informs all of the annual charge and its price on the automatic e-mail that is sent out after you enroll in the membership and after every renewal. Also, one may view the status or cancel an annual subscription at any time when logging in to MyHeritage from the My Purchases page and incur no annual charge.

Our support team can also be contacted via "support@myheritage.com". You may also contact me on a direct basis via kayleigh.vipsupport@myheritage.com and I would be happy to assist you.

Kind regards,
Kayleigh

Total Commitment
May 7, 2020

For the past four months I have been working with Laura to resolve a problem where I was unable to open photos and files that I had pinned to people in my tree. After first reaching out to the MyHeritage team, I was pleasantly surprised to get a very timely response. Laura and I corresponded many times and she was always there with a quick response. After I paused my efforts for two months, I once again reached out to Laura for help and, there she was, still wanting to help. Doggedly, she got the resolution I needed. Couldn't ask for better service.
