I have seen an old c-w-s post that suggests posting with Royal Mail, but I also saw a recent FB post from a Randox rep suggesting that RM will not handle their packages!
This is perhaps the post that you are referring to, and there are a number of other examples in that thread and this one giving examples of using Royal Mail.

The best thing is to use Tracked24 without signature option, Small Parcels, £5.46 and post in a Priority Postbox. The reason being this is a postage option that you buy online, and so the whole process is detached from meeting post office staff. There are restrictions on how and where to post samples, but special handling are in place for Priority Postboxes and they are then the first to get sorted at mail centres. I've seen elsewhere that some people find this all terribly confusing and start mixing up aspects of this (e.g. registered post, trying to buy stamps, going into post offices). Unsurprisingly Randox tries to keep it nice and simple and therefore urges use of their network of drop boxes
