Just ordered 4 test from chronomics, You should take screenshots of price with order instead of charging 40GBP (4x10GBP) they charged my card 100GBP , looks like discount is 20 per whole order but their page showing per item....they should still honour this...

We ordered Randox at home which dispatched Friday via DPD, we landed Saturday, but they hadn’t arrived. We did get a tracking number for DPD but it just shows they’ve received the order details and expecting the parcel shortly! This indicates to me it is not even in transit yet. Our Day 2 is tomorrow, so not sure about this really, that’s really poor they left it so late and with a weekend knowing our Day 0 was Saturday.

Expresstest
In preparation for our flight to St Lucia on Friday, we used the Expresstest drive through facility at LHR Long Term T4 car park.
Swabbed in situ (ie in our car) at 12.15pm Monday. Results emailed 8pm same day. £59/head.
Very straight forward.

Just to check.
I am about to travel to Spain in August. For the Day 2 PCR tests, I think I am right in saying that the test doesn't need to be booked prior to arriving in Spain. Instead I can book later and add this booking ref to the UK locator form 48hr before returning to the UK?

Having hopefully navigated what seems to be to be a labyrinth of complex rules in booking tests, I am just amazed at how I have been required to give details of my name, address, date of birth, flight number, passport number, telephone number, email address, and credit card details to a firm I have no experience of and about whom I have no confidence that they will safeguard the information. Normally I would run a mile from doing this. Does anyone want to try to persuade me that this is going to end well from a data perspective?
