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.

Hello all

I just wanted to inform everyone interested on here about day 2 home testing kit suppliers.

After a number of people on this forum recommended a company called Expert Medical i booked 2 kits for my return on 23Oct21 for £28each.

But when i came to fill in my passenger locator form the GOV website it would not take the Ref no provided.It turns out this company was one of many thrown of the lists by the UK  GOV on 03Oct21

We booked boots.online £21 each. Booked Sunday 24th to fly back Monday 25th. Home test kits meant to arrive today (Day 2) but got email to say they will arrive tomorrow afternoon. ;)

Hi, 

We travel back to the UK on Sunday from Bilbao. 

I have paid £24each for 2 home delivery day 2 lateral flow tests from Randox, they were delivered to our home in UK yesterday ready for us to use on Tuesday. 

No problem and are government approved, I got our ref numbers for our locator form as soon as I had paid but can't complete till Friday.

Just brilliant, £24 each for LFT kit which the NHS were giving away free a while ago. Add insult to injury, there was seven testing kits in a box. Glad that companies are still making a fortune out of this pandemic! That's my short rant over, hope you have a pleasant crossing.

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!

Hi Paul, I'm flying back to UK in the morning and ordered my kit on Monday. I duly filled in my passenger location form yesterday and had no problems with my reference number. Expecting the kit to arrive at my home on Monday but had a message to say it was out for delivery yesterday, just hope it...

... fits through the letterbox. Had enough trouble with LATUS Health when I flew home last time they got taken off the government approved list. But it all changes from Sunday.

I returned from Spain at the beginning of October.

Nobody has checked on my day 2 results. It seems the important thing to the Government is that you booked and paid for one.

I was negative before and after my return.

My brother and sister in law were not so lucky they contracted Covid on their way home to Ireland (bus, flight, airport?) be careful, do not eat or drink anything on the flight unless it is your own food or bottle of water. One of them is still in hospital two weeks later. Both double jabbed.
