Do PCR home tests ever get delivered on sundays?

Just that really. Ordered one about 20 minutes ago and just wondering if there’s any chance it might come tomorrow.

Thanks

Here my Royal Mail postie delivers them, so I doubt it.

Royal mail don't work on Sundays.

Yes, my friend got one on a Sunday but she couldn’t take the test til the Monday because it has to go straight into the Royal Mail post box.

Check on,ine to see where your nearest priority box is. My friend couldn’t find any here, but we are rural.

Yes, we’ve ordered PCR tests on Saturdays twice in the past 2 months, and both times they were delivered Sunday

In case this helps anyone else -

Turns out that as mentioned above, although Royal Mail don’t usually deliver on Sundays, they do for covid tests. Received this morning at 9ish.

Now because I’m ridiculous I’m already checking my phone every 4 minutes to see if results have arrived, even though I know logically it’s probably not even been collected from the post box yet, let alone arrived at the testing lab or actually processed. Still can’t hurt to check right.

We ordered some LFTs yesterday as currently isolating and they got delivered by RM today.
