How long are home tests pcrs taking please

Awaiting a pcr last one took 4 days hoping it’s quicker now!

I had one last month, got the results back the next day in the afternoon.

My son had one 1st thing yesterday and had results yesterday evening.

Was that a home test?
We sent my sons of at 8.30 am wasn’t delivered until 1am today (tracked).

Sorry, I didn't read the title properly, no was a drive through, sorry x

All ours have always come back next day (going back as far as May 2020). Earliest was small hours of the night, latest was about 6pm. Think there's a decent amount of spare capacity in PCR processing at the moment, so next day is likely.

We've posted 2 this week, both back within 18 hours of the collection time on the postbox! I was impressed!

Wow we are still waiting. Last time it was 72 hours!! So hoping quicker. I know it’s negative so it’s such a pain waiting

Posted yesterday in the 5pm pick up. Results back at 3 today. That's quick in my book

@greatape wow that was good! I sent mine 8.15 am and got them back at 4pm. All negative I knew ot would be but couldn’t send him in with a cough lol. Hope your ok.

1 negative 2 positive so mixed bag but we are ok - I have cold symptoms and dd is asymptomatic (only pcr tested cos odd lateral flow result and lots in school)
