I know they advertise it as aim to get results within 48 hours, but has anyone had experience of whether it’s shorter or longer than this?

First one was 36 hours, second one was 72 hours. My DH’s actually took five days the second time. Same drive in testing centre about a month apart.

It fluctuates wildly. I had one a couple of weeks ago that took over 100 hours. DP had one this week that was back in 12 hours.
