How long do they generally take to arrive? Ordered yesterday afternoon.

It actually arrived at 10am, so managed to get it in the postbox before the midday Saturday pickup. Had more trouble with building the return box than the test!!

Hahaha I sent the EXACT message to my family. I said the box was harder than the test! Mine came back this morning (negative) I hope you arent waiting too long

Glad yours was negative @Hugosmugo

I couldn't work out how to seal the 2nd bag and ds struggled to build the box. We swapped jobs Grin

Did you have a single ended or a double ended swab? Ours was single ended, so we did throat then nose with the same one. My mum(who hasn't actually done a test, just knows someone who has) is adamant we did it wrong and it was double ended and that the test will be invalid now Confused. Mind you shes also convinced I made up the issues we had sending it off. Apparently you just put them in your local post box and she doesnt know why i make everything into a drama Hmm

Oh no 🤦‍♀️ you are right. I've had 3 tests in total now, 2 drive through (zoe app invited) and also this home test. They are all a single ended tip which you put in the throat and nose!

I think results come at all times including Sundays so you may be lucky and get it back today 🙏

Got a negative test back yesterday. Yay. Means half term isn't a complete write off!

My mum is weird. Grin
