When my sister in-law and her husband visited us last month from USA, they used Campden www.campdenbri.co.uk/fitToFly/index.php You can collect kit, perform the test in their car park and get the result next working day by email. Not cheap, but no risk of mis-delivery or postal delays. However, they don't appear to do Day 2 testing for returnees to UK.

There's a lot of variation in price. Airlines and travel companies sometimes have discounted tests available, otherwise Money Saving Expert has a list of companies. Nationwide Pathology were the cheapest for me a few weeks ago at £40/test, had no problems with their service.

Thanks Emily.

Yes the company I suggested dispatched the test kits same day via DHL and they arrived the next morning. They provide all the Royal Mail tracked delivery packaging so it’s an easy case of sealing the sample and posting

And you also need to be careful about when the kit will be sent to you. Some suppliers send it so that it arrives just in time for your Day 2, but if it's a bit early, you might not be back. Better in my opinion to use a supplier that sends the kit as soon as you order it, so you receive it before you've left for your trip.

If booking on line, make sure the supplier will allow you to use the Post Office for returning the samples. Some suppliers request that you use their own drop box, and these can be miles away. And unless you pay attention to this before booking, you may only find out at the end of the transaction, once you've booked and paid.

Yes, it is on the road going into Ticknell Piece. I think the collection time is 4pm.

Did I read somewhere on a previous thread that there is a dedicated postbox in Charlbury for returning test samples?

Will/ can anybody be kind enough to recommend a local, return to UK "day 2" test provider?
