Think I'll go to Lloyds pharmacy tomorrow and see if they are still doing them. If they are I'll get a couple of boxes and sell each unit for £10. Seven in a box that's a profit of er ? You do the maths!

Can not use the free ones given out by NHS

Hi

I used this company and didn’t have any problems. It was accepted on the Passenger Locator Form, I travelled on Saturday 16th October, did the test on Monday 18th and got the results back on Thursday 21 st October without any problems.  

What company Sue please

Use 'Testing For All' a not for profit company , officially sanctioned and very efficient and reliable.  Very good on-line information about products and how to use them

Hi

I had to rebook it at last minute with a company called Randox Health.

Randox health is one of the worse according to sites/ Chats.... stuff and results do not turn up and the government are said to be removing them but have to (stupidly) keep them on for their 3 months contract!

Used Medical expert with no probs..... but have found that Chronomics are even cheaper!

Sent sample to Expert Medical on 20th October, still waiting for result. Just sent a compliant email

As long as you have the number to get into the UK result!!!.....Do a free one if you want from the chemists..... I know this is not the point, but the whole result thing is irrelevant really.....

Nannie you've hit the nail right on the head! £28 for the kit and still no result from Medical Experts but at least I got the code for my flight to the UK. Have tested negative several times using the free lateral testing kit and if I don't get a result from Medical Experts will try and get my money back through my credit card company.

I think the best company is Randox which is recognised by he Government is on the Government list, fully regulated. I have used Randox four times since August 2021, they are prompt and very efficient. Randox is also recommended by Ryan Air, Easy Jet, British Airway, Virgin and many other airlines. Their Day 2 price price is very reasonable, if your airline provide a promo code, you can get a further discount. With Randox you download their app and  you carry the lateral flow test at home and scan and submit the result and you a get a certificate on your phone et voila. Hope this is very helpful.

I have used Randox each time as well - and if you go to Martin’s Money Making Tips online (search Day 2 Test) you can get the codes - we used one even though we weren’t flying!

good luck!
