Also, when trying to utilize the Royal Mail website or app its seemingly impossible to bring any results for the postal code I need to find a priority postbox. Dont understand what Im doing wrong. Postal code is EH1 3AF.
It is better not to order too early as you can be caught by rule changes. At some point late in October the day 2 test should change to a rapid test. I usually recommend booking the postal test a week in advance. It would be worth allowing a few more days for the last week of October as it is school holidays in England.
The nearest priority box to that post code is at Elm Road post office.
