  I was going to be using Covid Testing Direct – at 89p

  But they seem to have stopped the collection of kits and have not actually told any of their customers!!

  Had an appointment (and still do) to collect a kit in Bath Road next week.

  Sounds like a bit of a scam if you ask me…..

    You don’t say ….

    I looked into bulk buying lateral flow kits and I couldn’t get it cheaper than £2 exc VAT when buying 10,000.

      They were giving back 3,000 a month – whilst charging others full whack.

      They are still offering it at Manchester albeit for £15 a time.

      This company were or may still be on the Government website

  Using Chronomics with discount code “chronomics40” still cheaper

  This day 2 PCR requirement isn’t going away in the next month or so is it?

    Probably not until Easter holidays at the earliest

    Do I trust Amazon with samples of my DNA, hmmmmmm no!

      Lol. Amazon’s already acquired your DNA from these other labs by trading them a packet of crisps and a Prime subscription.

  Just tried using these for a return trip from Dubai for 16th December (2 people) and neither codes worked on the PLF…… not sure if anyone else has had an issue with these? Have had to order alternatives and not able to cancel the order with Amazon. Annoying, just a little!!

    I would submit a ticket with Amazon.

    • Will says:

      15 Dec15 December 18:35

      Yep…. did that and they advised to not accept the delivery. Don’t know if it’s a one off but not the best experience. Went with Randox instead and codes worked instantly.

  One thing to note if you’re flying over Xmas as we are, Amazon say
  “Test Processing Outage Notice: Due to Royal Mail closure over the holiday period, you will be unable to register test kits from 23/12 through 27/12 and 30/12/21 through 02/01/22. Do not buy this product if you want or need to test on these days.
  During the holiday period, you can take your test and ship to the laboratory only on the 28/12 and 29/12, and receive results 24 hours after arriving at the lab.”
