Covid testing for amber list country?
Discussion
So, i need to travel to an amber list country in early july.
Hss anyone done tniis?
I'm concerned about the testing results turn around.
Where have you been getting your pre departure from uk tests?
The test date usually has to have been within 3 days of arriving in the amber country.
So, how did you do it to ensure your test arrived on time?
did you go to a private test centee?
Thanks

Yes, the code will be in an email from them.
I filled in the passenger locator form yesterday.
The email confirmation arrived about 30 mins after i wrote my comments above.
I also got a call from customer service the next morning in reply to a customer service email i sent.
So very good service i'd say.
The tests arrived 2 days after ordering them.
Only snag is their recommended courier and their own drop boxes for the tests aren't everywhere.
My nearest one of each is 30 mins drive away.
Fine if you are in or close to a city.
Royal mail special delivery will accept the test in the post.
But that option might take a little longer.
I figure, the only test that is really important for us is the day 5 test to release.
For that one we'll drive to the drop box.
For the others, probably royal mail.

Can anybody say when the randox day 5 test kit is sent?
I ordered the day 2 5 and 8 .
I received the day 2 and day 8.
Not the day 5 and day 5 is on wednesday.
Is the day 5 sent seperately?
The faqs on the website are not clear.
Their telephone helpline hangs up after one ring.
Not so impressed today.

Well, good for randox, they got back to me with an email within 5 mins.
So,,,,day 5 is dispatched on day 4 for delivery on day 5.
Day 2 and day 8 arrived between 2 and 4pm by dpd.
The randox dropbox is 30 mins away and cutooff for collection is 5pm
How sodding stupid is that.
So, very possible we won't get result back from day 5 until day 7.
Not impressed.

Apparantly, the day 5 tests can only be sent out to arrive on day 5 so people do not do them early.
Government rules.
So far with randoxhealth -

An update to my randox experience.
tests arrived in time at my door.
day 2 dropped off in dropbox 30 mins away by 5 pm cutoff time.
arrival at lab confirmation 5.45 am next morning
test result 1.35 that day
day 5 dropped off as above
now 2 days later
no confirmation of arrival at lab
no result
they appear to have lost it
So, stuck in doors stilll.
day 8 test tomorrow....but do i trust randox with their 50% track record so far?
Oh...they also lost my partner's pre flight test.
So she couldn't take her flight this morning.
£175 down the drain and a lot of stress.
Would i use these clowns again?
Not a chance.
How can you lose 2 tests?

Randox -
handed in day 5 test on wednesday.
Finally got confirmation today it is at their laboratory.
Still no result.
Should have received it yesterday.
Tomorrow we do the randox day 8.
And also a boots day 5 in case randox day 5 doesn't turn up by tomorrow morning.
I get the feeling i'd never get out of quarantine with randox.
Awful
