2 PCRs sent off at same time but only 1 has come back ..

Hi

Posted 2 PCR tests yesterday, 1 result came back at 9.30 this morning (positive) still waiting on the other result.

Is this usual that 1 result comes back and the other doesn't? I'm starting to panic a bit in case it's void or something. I know it was delivered as have tracked it with Royal Mail app. Just want to know so can tell work! Seems odd.
Thanks

We went to a drive in test centre on Sunday. All three tests put into the box at the same time. One result at lunchtime Monday (negative), two other results at 7.30pm (one negative, one positive).

It's a bit random I think.

This is totally normal.

Same thing happened to me earlier this week so I called the customer service line to check. They said it's perfectly normal and that all the tests are put on a table at the beginning of the day and the testing operatives come up to collect them for processing at different times. So they've probably just ended up in two different places in the lab. My result arrived a few hours later in the end.
