Hi

What is the cheapest day 2 test on return to the UK people have found please? 

Ryanair are recommending to use Randox which is £48 but looks like their customer service reviews are terrible!

Anyone found anything cheaper?

Thanks

Ryan

I used Randox for all my tests 2 weeks ago. Excellent quick service. Only problem is how far the Dropbox is from your home! They do give you an alternative courier though. Check their website. They were the cheapest I found but I had to have day 2, 8 and released on day 5 when I travelled back

I used RT diagnostics who had terrible reviews,  but they were fantastic for me.  They are out of stock at the moment,  so I've gone for the cheapest I can find from Express Medical.  The reviews are appalling, but I got my Day 2 test kit 2 days after ordering.  If something goes wrong when I use it when I come back, then so be it.  I have the test kit, reference number and I'll be doing the test and posting it off so I've done my bit!  You can also post these to the Royal Mail priority postboxes which are all over.

If you go on the randox site and put FLYRYANAIR into the discount/promo box it goes from £48 down to £43.👍

Stay away from RT diagnostics our tests never turned up it is run by a Labour Party councillor.

Check out the reviews just type in rt diagnostic reviews, I had to claim my money back through my credit card, they have been in sun newspaper apparently 

Eurofins have been good for us

I had a terrible experience with Randox, they failed to issue the code needed for the passenger return form! Had to buy a new test at airport. Reccomend Dante, fantastic service. Sometimes cheapest isn't best. Found out 30 passengers at Murcia purchasing Randox tests had this happen.

I have only used Randox once but they were excellent, I had an email with the reference number I needed for the locator form, note the number is RANDXxxxxxxxx if entered correctly the locator form was accepted. Drop box for me is only a few miles away and the result was emailed in 24 hours from drop off
