I had a last-minute trip to London come up (arrived in London Monday morning). I booked the Day 2 PCR test via Qured on Saturday afternoon US time, with courier delivery to my office.

When I woke up Wednesday morning my results were ready.

Other than having to swab the back of my throat, which is a totally new experience for me, and the total lack of packaging for the test (it just came in a plastic baggie), this was a very simple experience.
What was the reason for the pre arrival test? Are you not vaccinated?

And just to clarify I am not making any judgement if you aren't, it is just that pre arrival tests are no more since 4 October if coming from the US and you are a US resident who has been jabbed there.
