I was thinking of going for the cheapest Day 2 / 8 and putting my money into a really good Day 5. Is that an ill-advised strategy ?
From everything that has been said, you are entirely correct. Your legal responsibility is to pay for the test(s) and take the day 2 before the end of day 2 and post it in a priority mail box. After that it is not your problem. Likewise, take the day 8 after the end of day 7. You could include it as a provision in your Last Will and Testament.
