MojoJojo71 · 20/12/2021 15:15

I went for mine at 10am this morning and just got the result! The site I went to had an on-site testing lab.

AshLane · 20/12/2021 15:15

Called on Saturday after waiting for results since last Monday. Useless unhelpful response, after an hours wait on the phone. Enquiry emailed, not answered.

Still ill. Second test sent today.

StruggleStreet · 20/12/2021 15:19

DH positive test took 20 hours (test done Friday afternoon , result received Saturday morning)

DS's came back in less than 24 hours but took an entire week for DDs.

Isit2021yetplease · 20/12/2021 15:23

Just took 96 hours for us! Rang chasing it yesterday and the girl begged us to call back in the evening as the internal number she’d have to call had a wait of over an hour. Called back in evening and told the results system had crashed cal again today. Finally came through this morning after 4 days wait!

mindutopia · 20/12/2021 15:46

All of ours in the past few weeks have come back within about 18 hours.

81 hours from Wednesday afternoon - Bristol

Webbedlife · 20/12/2021 17:39

18 1/2 hours for me last week - London walk-in.

LoopyLouLawson · 20/12/2021 18:06

Posted a test back on Friday afternoon - well before last collection time - however on the tracking it did not get collected till Sat evening and delivered 1am Sunday.

Still waiting on result - rang 119 today to spend 20 mins on the line to a fella who kept telling me he was looking into it - I had done the right thing in calling to chase it up, told me I HAD registered it which was the right thing, mumbled something about missing tests, what to do if I feel worse, then asked if there was anything else he could help me with! Well yes, my result - he mumbled something else about 72 hours at which point I gave up after repeated silences and being told "let me just check that for you"!

I am in the West Midlands.

wingingit33 · 20/12/2021 18:11

23 hours yesterday

OhYouBadBadKitten · 20/12/2021 18:52

30 hours so far for family member and not had the result yet. Come on stupid test result. We need to know.
I am not a patient person. Would really like to know if we are joining the sad spoiled christmas bench.
