Warm weather sample advice
Exposing a blood sample to warmer temperatures can affect the stability of the sample. We advise that, if possible, samples are to be taken to a post office rather than placed in a post box. If this is not possible, check your local postal collection times and keep your sample in a dark and cool environment for as long as possible, until it is time to post it.
Our laboratories will inform us if your sample has been affected by the weather and we can arrange a repeat test if necessary. If you have any concerns please contact our customer care team who will be happy to advise further.

If your test results are urgent, we strongly recommend that you select Royal Mail Tracked delivery service at checkout which costs £5.99. This will ensure that your kit arrives in 1-2 working days in most cases. Although you will not need to sign for the delivery you do need to be at home to accept the delivery.
The Royal Mail Tracked delivery service is prioritised over first class mail. However, due to significantly higher volumes and a reduced Royal Mail workforce, it is not guaranteed. Service levels may vary across the country.
We are now including a tracked postage service in each kit for you to use when returning your sample to the lab. This will ensure that samples get to the lab in good time and do not spoil due to delays in transit.
Please make a note of the Royal Mail tracking number so that you can track your sample. You can find this number under the barcode on the postage sticker inside your kit. Click here to track your item on the Royal Mail website.
