How long have people waited over the past week or so?

Did our swab at 8am. Will see how long it takes to come back!

@covetingthepreciousthings thank you! I was not that organised as to take note of the tracking number - rookie error!

covetingthepreciousthings · 14/09/2020 10:13

@KeysDontBelongInTheFridge to be fair I'm surprised my DH did Grin though this is our second round of testing now and the first time he forgot to register for results..

So anyone reading this doing postal test don't forget to register for your results!! It's easily done!

18hrs for me and OH, 21hrs for both DS. That was from a drive through test centre

Gillian1980 · 14/09/2020 15:45

Test 11.30am yesterday, result 3.30pm today.
Drive through test centre in south west.

ListenLinda · 14/09/2020 16:24

Looking like the drive throughs are turning results around much quicker than walk ins

HipHopBanzai · 14/09/2020 16:37

I think it must depend where you are. I know several people tested at drive through in the north west over the weekend and nobody has had a result yet.

Tested Friday, result today. 70 hours .
Drive in, Midlands

Softpebbles · 14/09/2020 16:47

@mayfare I don’t suppose it was Derby was it?

Give me some hope. X

Thirtyrock39 · 14/09/2020 16:50

East mids - walk in and drive through were both about 63 hours
I spent so much of that time googling 'how long are results taking?' It was such a relief to get a test but then became so stressful waiting and having to isolate and cancel weekend plans
Our results were negative

We are midlands and over 72 hours now. Rapidly losing my sense of humour.

Softpebbles · 14/09/2020 17:07

@Butterer how did you get to speak to someone - when I select the result option I get cut off.

notinthestarsigns · 14/09/2020 17:09

I spoke to 119 yesterday and was told it would be escalated as over 72 hours but still nothing. I tried again today but just got an automated message and cut off. I lost my baby at 20 weeks pregnant in June and this Thursday I have the review with the consultant in relation to his post mortem and the implications for the future. I will be so angry and upset if I can’t attend due to the delay in the test results.

notinthestarsigns · 14/09/2020 17:10

The system is a complete shambles.

pullingmyhairout2 · 14/09/2020 17:13

Tested at half 12 lunchtime on Tuesday. Had the result at 6am on weds. Was super impressed, not sure why it's taking some a lot longer than others!
