You will need to pick up the result at the test center. Do not expect to receive it by email even if they take note of your address. I never received mine by email.
Thanks a lot for you very useful first hand experience! Pole pole they say out there...

I wonder if we can directly book the appointment 48h prior the flight or too risky or they suggest a day according to the flight schedule? You might have already written the place in the NL/KLM thread so forgive me, but do you remember the name of that "cheap" Covid center?
