I have managed to get a test but due to post collection times, it is going to be pointless???

[Crunchymum]

After 48h I've managed to get a home test.

Unless it arrives today (highly unlikely) it will be pointless as if its not posted before midday tomorrow it can't go until Monday and then it's too late.

The system is broken on a level I didn't even think about???? Had I been able to get one yesterday, it would have been fine.

I am in exactly the same situation with my son.

• Cough started Wednesday,
• finally managed to book home test today Friday,
• delivery due Saturday night, (by Amazon
• no post Sunday,
• advice to put the test in the post Monday afternoon.

It's quite confusing. I have previously tried to get through on the 119 number and was on hold for ages.

I was asked for feedback at one point. I wrote quite a bit.

They asked how they could improve things and I suggested sacking Dido Harding

Yep, exact same as me.

Who gave you the advice to test Monday? Did you actually speak to 119?

LOL at sacking Dido.

Just to update, test came about 1pm (so we missed the midday post) but the wonderful person I spoke to from 119 has arranged a courier for tomorrow so we don't miss the 5 day window.

ditto

I wanted to come back and say we’ve got our results (negative) back very quickly. Test arrived Friday, posted it back on the Friday before the last post. Results today!

Courier didn't turn up. Shoot me now!!

Really sorry to hear that.
