Thank you, they definitely seem to be the cheapest and the Dropbox is quite close too. x

I'm going for Randox again. We done the test on a Saturday afternoon, son took it to drop box and we had the negative result Sunday morning via email. Being so close to Xmas may delay results though.

Yes, I’m hoping we can get it in before it all closes for Xmas. Hopefully it won’t take too long, fingers crossed x

Expert Medicals £20 for PCR. I have used them several times - results back with 48 hours.

I respectfully suggest that you read the reviews here before dealing with Expert Medical 

Shocking to say the least

I’ve always had a good service from them especially since the unfavourable reviews - think they were overwhelmed as cheap service. Having used them several times recently i would say they’ve got their act together.

You could look and see if there is testing at the airport you are arriving into as you can do your day 2 test anytime from arrival until 48hrs after arriving in uk

Thank you, I’ve checked this but it’s a little more expensive than having the kit sent to the house. xx

We used Source Bioscience.  They were number 1 rated by Which.  £35 for the PCR.  We arrived home on the Sunday (12th) and Royal Mail attempted to deliver them on the Sunday but we were still travelling so I collected then Monday morning.  We sent them via the priority post box that morning.  My partner got his results at 7.30 this morning, I am still waiting.  I know that they have high volumes since the rules changed.  It is now almost 1pm.  For me I don't work so not the end of the world.  I don't know how this compares with other people's experience since the rules changed.

Dam health have branches in lots of places. Not the cheapest but reliable.
