Back at work tomorrow (not WFH) so I'd like to be testing regularly but I've been looking on gov.uk since xmas eve and it keep saying none available - am I looking at the wrong times of day, or have they been out all this time?
No local pharmacies ever seem to have any either

In our area libraries are stocking them. No code needed either. Also our local leisure centre. None of these are listed on nhs website.

I have been trying today and none available then just had one more go this evening and got a box to be sent in the post (Midlands)

PurpleDaisies · 03/01/2022 22:36

Still nothing for me.

I don’t think the postal ones are limited by area. I get this message before inputting any details.

I was getting that this morning. later on I put all the details in then was told there wasn't any, then finally this evening I got all the way through and ordered.

Yesterday afternoon are 12.30 ish. I tried one time before but they didn’t have them then. I’m told they update every 30 minutes. It’s a pain as I’m supposed to test 3 times a week so a pack of 7 doesn’t last very long!

OddBoots · 03/01/2022 22:39

I thought I couldn't for quite a while but I was being daft and refreshing the 'none available' page. When I went back a page and tried again I could get some.

Scarby9 · 03/01/2022 22:40

Yes, @PurpleDaisies That's the message you get. Leave it an hour or two and try again.
I have been able to order a box each day (for different people) over the last four days, but not always at the first attempt.

Sparklingbrook · 03/01/2022 22:44

It's a bit crap when they let you put most of the details in then say there's none but then that's my fault for not setting up an account

Oldraver · 03/01/2022 23:16

I think ordered some on Wednesday and still waiting, though assumed a go slow this time of year

PinkBuffalo · 03/01/2022 23:31

Have tried to order some last couple of days and had no luck. All day today been told unavailable it is a nightmare trying to get hold of any here

AnxiousHeffalump · 03/01/2022 23:36

I work in a school and there are stacks of them in every room because the kids don’t take them.

Vbree · 03/01/2022 23:38

No, not since before Christmas!

HelloDoris · 03/01/2022 23:46

I've ordered 2 boxes in the past 4 days.. none have arrived yet.. kids go back to school on Wednesday and we need some for testing.. hope they arrive on time.. I just keep trying the website during the day and randomly get through (I've also got an account so I don't have to keep re-adding my details). Funtimes.

Kitkat151 · 03/01/2022 23:59

I try just after midnight.....have got them every time

Livpool · 04/01/2022 15:33

I finally ordered some this morning

irregularegular · 04/01/2022 16:10

Anybody in roughly my part of the world (Oxfordshire/Berkshire) able to get them? Is it regional?

Vbree · 04/01/2022 17:24

Finally managed to order some just now.

dontcallmelen · 04/01/2022 17:43

Finally just had a successful order, after over a week of “computer says no” phew am relieved.

Crunchymum · 04/01/2022 17:46

I couldn't place an order last night, but was successful this morning (will wait and see if they turn up I guess!)

SoupDragon · 04/01/2022 17:47

I ordered some a few days ago and they removed today (I think today is the first day of post they could have been in).

RevolutionRadio · 04/01/2022 18:09

I just ordered some now

IncompleteSenten · 04/01/2022 18:10

I try every day. I finally was able to order a pack today after a couple of weeks

HomeCountiesMum · 04/01/2022 18:12

No
I just managed to order some now and then a few minutes later I got a message saying I'd ordered some within the last 24 hours so they couldn't fulfil my order!

I haven't ordered any in the last 24 hours as I couldn't 🤦🏼‍♀️

Bearsbearsbears40 · 04/01/2022 18:12

I’ve managed to order some today after being unsuccessful last week.

TwoBigNoisyBoys · 04/01/2022 21:13

Just to update, the ones I ordered yesterday arrived in today’s post, I’m impressed with that to be fair…
