Americans have begun ordering free at-home COVID-19 tests from the US government, but some people in multiple-family homes and apartments have had problems getting their orders through. The US Postal Service, which is handling the massive effort, acknowledged that the issue has occurred at some addresses that aren't registered as multi-unit buildings.

"This is occurring in a small percentage of orders," USPS spokesperson David Partenheimer said Wednesday in an email to CNET. "For assistance in the ordering process the USPS recommends filing a service request at https://emailus.usps.com/s/the-postal-store-inquiry or contacting our help desk at 1-800-ASK-USPS, to help address the issue." 

Orders are expected to start shipping at the end of January.
