Question re faecal/poo test

…. Can the test be posted in a post box like a normal letter? ( in its biohazard envelope provided of course), or do you need to hand over at a post office counter?
Sorry if that’s a daft question!
thanks….

I put mine in the postbox and it was fine. Is it the bowel cancer test with the little stick?

Just a normal postbox. I've done several and they all arrived OK

As far as I remember the little stick thing clicks back in to the plastic holder, then you put it in a padded envelope so it's all very contained - and the amount of poo on it is teeny tiny anyway. Bung it in any postbox.
