Hi all,

I have recently had a COVID scare which was thankfully negative. I bubble with my grandfather who lives alone and has no way of getting to the doctors, getting his shopping etc yet otherwise. Whilst i understand the bubble is permitted, I have decided to test regularly but I cannot do so through the NHS with symptoms.

Morally I don't want to take a test when someone else might need it but they are available to order on Medexpress.co.uk. I am going to buy a couple to keep in my cupboard.

Please I don't want answers about lying and saying I have symptoms to get a test etc, purely wanting answers as to whether anyone has ordered from Medexpress or not? And whether it is a legit site?

Thanks

Anyone? Sorry if this is the wrong area

can you ask our GP? My GP's site has a link to private covid tests in case people need them for travel, which I hope are legit given as they are linked from the GP's site

your, not our :-)

Good idea! Unfortunately I checked but they don't have the same service. I know ordering from Lloyd Pharmacy would be legit but the one at Medexpress is slightly cheaper!

Thank you for your suggestion though

Any private GP practices near you? (There are a lot more than people think).

My private practice does tests.
Worth a google.

I’ve ordered from them recently, got my order alright but also got a ton of scam emails 🤦🏻‍♀️

Unfortunately the nearest is 50 miles away!

@TheLadyGrayson not good. So you say the website is legit, but you get lots of additional rubbish to your e-mail?

Yes - it could be a coincidence, but I got quite a lot more spam emails after making my order. Their actual service was good though, my prescription came really quickly and is legit. 😊
