They told me today that this was no longer the case.

"This test is non-refundable and payable at time of booking online, as you are purchasing not just the tests, but also the booking confirmation which allows travel and entry to England'

I'm sorry my own experience with Collinson hasn't led to the desired outcome; they seem to get well reviewed generally and I was hoping to use them.
