PCR test turnaround? Postal

I sent off a PCR first thing Monday morning, priority postbox. Haven't heard anything yet. Previously I've had a result the next day. Wondering if my test got lost or I messed up registering the test kit.

Same here. Mine was preregistered.

I sent mine for the last post (5 30pm) and got results at 8am the next day.

I posted one yesterday. Can see it was delivered at the lab at 11pm, no results yet though.

Just got my result, 14 hours after my test was collected from the postbox.

Still not got ours. LFTs are positive.

@Penvelopey I'm still waiting too. Well actually I have given up and presumed it got lost in transit... I guess if your LFTs are positive you don't need the PCR now? I hope you aren't feeling too unwell.

Yes thats what I thought I don't really need them now. Feeling pretty rough tbh but managed to get out of bed a bit today so that's a positive.
