How long are postal PCR results taking?

[MySaladDaysAreGone]

Posted Monday pm in priority postbox we’ll before final collection - no result yet?

Did one in July over weekend and results back in 27 hours.

Are they just really busy (laughs hollow laugh!) ???!

Ha @FinallyFluid

Oops. 10pm Tuesday. Honestly my stress levels this week mean I don't know what day it is 😬😂

Dhs were around 24 hours from posting, posted am. Mine posted for 5.30pm collection Monday, still waiting results.

It was about 48 hours for us.

Are the Monday people still waiting? Posted ours early Tuesday - it's driving me insane waiting

Dh posted his Saturday afternoon just before last pick up and got his result Monday morning around 6.30am

@talkalarm mine was posted Monday pm and just had the results this evening about 7pm finally...negative so back to school he goes tomorrow 🥳

I am stressing I’ve just had an email reminding me to do the test and sent it straight back i sent it priority Mail yesterday lunch time

My son can’t go back to college until he gets a negative test

Still waiting here though DD is already positive and I have every symptom going despite double vaccination. So fairly certain it should be positive though DH took it out of my throat after about half a second so not sure we did it properly. Ours was posted around 5.25pm on Monday with 5.30pm collection, Mon collection sign was still there so think didn't miss it. Think they may be very busy at the moment with all the back to school covid.

Thanks @Nsws2015 - Really hoping ours come through the night

We've just got my son's from Monday morning back at about 7pm, negative thankfully.

60 hours last week.

I did one for my daughter last weekend and it took 3 days. West Yorkshire

Update..
Posted ours 6:30p.m last night results came through 8p.m this eve. We are in Hampshire.

I can't believe the differences in times! It's shocking and really not ok!

Just got mine back.

@Alfiemoon1 I had the same email this morning. Mine was posted back yesterday morning

I won't be doing one again unless school ask me too, not when all the other kids are in coughing away and only doing lfts

Did you register it on the hob website? I posted one without doing this (didn't read instructions) and had to call them after 3 days

Yep as soon as it arrived

@EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall @Alfiemoon1

That's just a generic email, you get it as standard (if you read through it will say ignore it if you've already sent it)

Just got an email ds test is negative so back to college tomorrow hallelujah lol

Posted Monday Lunch time 20th arrived at test centre 9pm that night...still waiting. Honestly I will never use the postal Home kits again the drive through results come in much more quickly in my experience (less than 24hrs for rest of family and friends in the area NE). The waiting is so stressful for my son.

Posted 20th

Received PCR people 21st

Will let you know.

Woke up to a NEGATIVE, which I could have told them.

What a palaver.

Still waiting my son’s results that we sent off Monday PM. Testing an 11 month old was traumatic and he’s now recovered from the cough but still can’t go to nursery! This is our first PCR test and I had no idea it would take this long. Fingers crossed for results today 🤞🏻
