Postal test

[Becca7910]

Hi,
If you've sent off a test in the post, how long has it taken for you to get a result? Thanks.

Would like to know too. Just sent one off. The booklet says "within 2 days"

The last time I got one for my ds I requested the test on Tuesday, received and returned it on Wednesday and got the result in time for him to go to school on Friday.

Thank you. Yes I noticed it said 2 days. I'm just so impatient. Sent ours off yesterday. Annoyingly I just got an email saying "don't forget to post your test". Doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. I did log them..I took the wrong photo for tracking I think though, which doesn't help!

I've done a home test twice and both times I had the result the next day. Hope you don't have to wait too long.

Sent ours off Monday (for 4pm collection from a priority post box).
Email received this morning 10.13 am, negative.

Hope this helps!

Make sure you log in and enter the barcode from the test. My son didn’t and so never got his result until he rang after 3 days. As soo as he put the barcode in, his negative result came through straight away.

Posted at 4pm, result by text next morning 8.30am.

I posted a test on Monday afternoon - the postbox collection time was 4pm - and I got the result at 5pm yesterday.

Posted mine on a Tuesday morning and got the emailed results on Wednesday mid afternoon.

That was NWP for reference

Thanks everyone. Did anyone get an email reminding them to post their test, even though they have? I've just received 2 emails reminding me, even though I definitely posted them and logged them first. Thanks again.

Yes Becca we had one email yest reminding but stated to ignore if we had sent. Which we had.

No, no reminders at all but different providers might have different processes

Did one Monday, it was delivered 7.30pm and got result 7pm last night, so just under 24 hours. Also got an email asking me to do my postal test, after i got the result, its just automated i think.

Yes I got reminders. I think it's automated. It did say to ignore the reminder if you'd already done it.

We tested on Monday, posted it at 3PM - collection time stated as 5PM, got the result 10PM on Tuesday (last night).

Did get a reminder email yesterday after we had of course already returned it, but it says to disregard if already done, so I did.

Hope you get the result quickly.

Thanks everyone. That's reassuring to know. Yes I noticed it said to ignore. Still, I'm over thinking everything. Patience is something I definitely lack. I'll carry on checking the emails.
