Hi All.

What's the experience with the Axiom Laboratory in the UK? My time is slowly come to take my covid test. They looks too good to me to be true. Only £99 and the results back 24 hours later.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Community responses indicate generally positive experiences with Axiom Laboratory for COVID testing. Users report receiving same-day results when dropping off tests, while others have successfully used their postal service, receiving results the next day. Comparatively, the price of £99 seems reasonable against other local options, with some clinics offering similar or lower rates. A few users also discuss concerns about home tests and their acceptance by airlines.

are home tests acceptable mate I've heard that some airlines dont accept them I read on Google they're not accepting them in Dubai ie Emirates whether that applies to transit I'm not sure tia

they would never know if it was home or not. My initial test with axiom was carried out in a pharmacy, i did all the swabs and they sent it off. The pharmacy charged £150. It was only when checking if the test arrived at axiom that i saw i could have done it direct with them for £99. You are still emailed the same results so airlines or anyone else would not know if it's a home test or not

when you did your test and posted back? I try to planing my time frame. I'll fly on Sunday 31st of January. My plan is do the test on Thursday morning and posting straight after. Will arrive on Friday to the laboratory. My result will be at latest on Saturday.. what do you think?

i did mine Tuesday and it arrived with them Wednesday morning. I called them Wednesday lunchtime and they confirmed it's reciept and advised i would get result by 8pm. Result arrived around 7.45pm i flew on the Friday morning. Your plan should work, just check the tracking the morning after you send it to see if it has arrived

Most private clinics are same day results, many cheaper than £99 and with F2F certs. So not really "too good to be true"

I was looking around and I didn't find cheaper than this... So I'm curious where you found many cheaper than this🤔🤔

@Istvan ********
Heathrow and Gatwick airports are cheaper, results in 2 hours. I saw a clinic in London advertising £44.99 with results in 15 mins. Google is your best bet.
