COVID Test kit through post

Hi,

Does anyone know if I ordered a NHS Covid Test kit today (Sunday) if it would arrive tomorrow (Monday). I know Royal Mail deliver them.

Also, are they collected on the same day as delivery and how quickly do the results come back?

I am just wondering if I'll likely get results by Wednesday at the latest?

Thanks.

  • Mine was delivered next day by Amazon. There was a link on my email to find a priority post box in order to return it. I mailed my text back mid morning and I had my result in under 24 hours - but I do live less than half a mile from the biggest testing lab.
