Has anyone experienced a delay in receiving their results from a home kit?


We posted ours via the priority mailbox on Lordship Lane on Tuesday, however yet to receive any result via e-mail or text - we have spoke with 119 who have confirmed we registered our tests but they cannot confirm if they have received them as there's no result to give.


People we know have received their results for home tests within 48 hours but ours is now pushing 96 hours.

Similar issue for us too. I had a test last week and got my results 36 hours later. But my boyfriend sent a test off on Thursday and still hasn?t heard anything back. Did you track using the Royal Mail barcode that came with the kit? That?s showed that his test was delivered on the Thursday night, so the delays must be with the lab testing.

Same for me. I posted the test on Wednesday afternoon and tracked its delivery. It arrived at lab on Wednesday night. I then did not get my test result till Sunday morning. It was a long time to wait, and I was convinced that something had gone wrong, so I went along to a test site on Saturday afternoon (3pm). I received result from that test the next day at 5pm.


I recommend everyone go to a test site rather than use the at home kit. Test site was completely empty, and I was able to book a time straight away. Quick result was worth effort to travel (had to walk as not allowed public transport and no car!)

Our son had a test this week as a schoolmate was tested positive, the test was mis-delivered and when we called to get another they said there were none available in the country to post and nowhere in the south east to get a walk in as they were all out too. She said they were overwhelmed by the amount of testing going on and it's as bad as January so I assume the labs are all on backlog.

      Have been to Love Dulwich twice for lunch - best food have had for a long time.  Seabass in gorgeous Cannot find anything to suggest they do a children's'  menu. We have 2 grand children (9 and 11)  who are fussy eaters but will generally eat chicken - also small appetite.

      Bowley Close at Crystal Palace has a NHS  specialist Orthotic clinic - I have to wear specialist shoes and they take all the measurements to send off. for shoes to be made, You will need a GP referral My grand daughter is in her 2nd year degree in Podiatry and she usually does my feet, As she does not live locally, there are times when I need to go to the Woodwarde  Road, Very expensive and prices change in accordance to whom you see,  Last time I went they told me I had a verruca and needed treatment which I noticed on their price list, was over £100. Consulted my grand daughter, who examined my foot and advised that verruca was very small and looked as though it would go away itself. She checked my feet a couple of months later - no sign of a verruca.
