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.

Did you believe her? I understood there are several options to test in Southwark, at least according to the council email a few days ago. It says you can get tested whether Yiu have symptoms or not but I think you go to different places depending on circumstances.

      Election Time - 2024

      Surely you'd have to have been living under a rock for the last four years not to know that Starmer's father was a toolmaker. It's so tired and reeks of desperation. If he had any dynamism or big ideas, he wouldn't have to fall back on it time and time again.  Having said that, I do completely understand that big ideas are nigh impossible when he's going to be inheriting problems that are, frankly, beyond any government's ability to fix. Or fix any time soon.

      Problems finding Delmosart in pharmacies

      By Sue · Posted

      You have my complete sympathy. In my case, I discovered you can't even go to an eye emergency clinic any more. You have to phone round opticians on a list who are part of a scheme. The only one in East Dulwich who was part of the scheme had a six week waiting list. That isn't very helpful when you are in danger of going blind. I was lucky that another East Dulwich optician told me to try one in Crofton Park, who was able to see me that day. They told me it was good that the ulcer had been caught early. Hollow laugh. It was three days and a long long saga  before I could get the eye drops. Ironically, I paid for a private prescription rather than the optician sending it to my GP to prescribe because I thought it would be quicker 😭 And then I couldn't get the effing drops anywhere anyway.

      Yes, it's crazy! I called the doctor to see if there's any way to find out who has them, and they just said I need to call around. Unfortunately I can't really take an alternative. I've finally found one that has 17 days worth, so I'm going to run before they get taken before me. 🙂  I had called 30 different pharmacies in South London, madness.

      Stolen sofa delivery on Worlingham Road

      Hopefully that's the case, unless the receiver left specific instructions concerning a safe place (i.e. behind the bins) in which case the receiver is deemed to have accepted the goods and their responsibility if they go missing.  Obviously in this case a safe place would be hard to identify but none the less if any instructions were given to leave it if no one is in then responsibility is removed from the company and courier. Equally, I've had cases where a delivery didn't occur and tracking shows it had, only for delivery actually occur a day or days later.
