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.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By COYS1961 · Posted

      I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By spark67 · Posted

      I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)

      Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.

      I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
