1. SERVICE TYPES

Depending on the test you book, our shipping options may include:

🏠 Nurse Visit

  • No shipping involved. A qualified nurse or phlebotomist visits your home or clinic to collect your sample.

  • All materials and sample containers are brought by our team and returned directly to the lab via our courier service.

📦 Home Test Kit (Self-Collection)

  • Some tests may be available as home kits that you collect yourself and return by post or arranged courier.


2. DELIVERY TIMES

📦 Home Test Kits:

  • We aim to dispatch within 1 working day of your order confirmation.

  • Kits are sent via Royal Mail 24 Tracked or DPD.

  • Estimated delivery time: 1–2 working days (UK mainland).

You will receive a tracking number once your test kit has been dispatched.


3. SAMPLE RETURNS

If your test includes a returnable sample kit, return instructions will be included inside your package.

Options may include:

  • Prepaid Royal Mail return envelope

  • Collection by one of our partner couriers

  • Drop-off at an approved partner location (e.g. a clinic or pharmacy)

⚠️ Please follow the included instructions carefully to ensure your sample reaches the lab in time for processing.
