Postal tests

[EmmaStone]

There's no such thing as a tip-off question, right?...

Are postal tests literally delivered with the post, or also by courier? ZOE app asked me to test yesterday, immediately ordered a postal test for a number of reasons, and post has arrived this morning with no test. Just wondering if this means it'll not be here until Monday.

Mine arrived in between the Amazon courier and postie so must be dedicated courier.
The test kit was inside an Amazon box/envelope though confusingly.

Postal ones round here (south east) comes from Amazon. The details came in an email.

Argh autocorrect!! Stupid question not tip off

OK cool, won't give up hope for today.

You have to break the tip off the swab I thought you meant that

You should be able to track the delivery if you look at the email confirmation.

Mine was also sent as an amazon delivery.

Yep amazon here for delivery and collection was by royal mail.

It arrived mid-afternoon. But with the postal tests, you can''t do the test until the next postal collection slot, which in most cases aren't available over the weekend, so even if it arrives today, you probablywon't be able to do the test until Monday.

Good point Virginia Wolverine, I think I've now missed the Saturday collections here, so no rush for arrived.

I ordered mine on a Sunday afternoon and it arrived on the Monday evening, amazon delivery.

But with the postal tests, you can''t do the test until the next postal collection slot

This had me so confused when I did mine, the wording was slightly different in the booklet to online and different again to something else I'd read. Couldn't work it out!

I don't seem to have a delivery tracker on my email confirmations. But I'll not worry. I don't think I've got Covid, no symptoms, so not too worried one way or the other.

Mine came by post, but was picked up by a courier.
