Where are you managing to get Lateral Flow Tests??

[loveyouradvice]

We are down to our last two and haven't been able to order more online for a few days.

Any advice about where we might get some?

Thanks

Ordered them online - no problem! I normally order them in the middle of the night though when DC wakes up 😴

There’s a Twitter bot that tweets when they become available

The community centre in our local town dishes them out twice a week between 12 and 2.

Ordered online yesterday and they came today.

I’ve always been able to order straightaway on the gov.uk website and they’ve always arrived within 48 hours.

I’ve been ordering online every couple of days and they have arrived within two days - obviously they weren’t delivering over Christmas and bank holidays but got them on the first working day back. Best time to try seems to be early in the morning

Definitely worth trying at different times. I tried at 7 and there were nine available. Just tried now and it worked fine.

I’ve been ordering them online no issues. In fact I’ve just tried now and got some

This is certainly not a universal thing across the country. I think a lot of poor librarians are going to be shocked when people turn up asking for tests.

Every time I read the word ‘lateral flow’ I log on to see if I can get some. It’s hit and miss as to whether I can but I try every time and get them sometimes. Read the title of this thread just now, logged on, got some.

Try now - I’ve just ordered some and could not an hour ago.

Just ordered some online a moment ago. Try now

With the help of this Twitter account - not timings yesterday. They vary slightly but not much

I’ve just ordered some successfully.

Ordered, hurrah!! Need to test every time I go into work (GP Surgery) so was starting to fret a bit about availability.

School.

I work in the NHS (Wales) and we have a good supply.

I have been ordering online since September for DH and DC but since they’re harder to get hold of sometimes, we’re all using ones from work when needed.

Not all! I work in one and we haven’t had any since mid December.

Despite notices on the door and all over the library we still get people coming in and asking for them and getting cross and abusive when we can’t help.

I was able to order online last week (Scotland). What is really strange is that I got an email at 5.30 this morning telling me that another box is on its way. We already have two boxes (my order, plus DS was given a box when he went for his booster) and I haven't ordered any more.

I’ve ordered online this morning. I’m not expecting them to come for a few days as opposed to next day like before. But I’ve half a box left.

Can't get any and haven't been able to for a week. Did manage to get through on the postal Govt site but they never arrived. Chemists say they haven't had any since Xmas, apart from 2 big Boots, but they have only had one small delivery but they went in minutes and none since. I don't know anyone who has been able to get them at all here
This is in a City/met urban area in the north, not some backwater

If they come at all.

There's a guy round the back of my estate when the sun goes down, he stands near his Corsa, ready for a quick getaway, the locals know they can get the good stuff from him (Flowflex, not the other stuff).

Maybe I'll sell him my mystery box (if it arrives!)
