Randox Drop Box Gatwick?

LouH · 4 Dec 21, 09:17 AM

Hi all,

We live just south of Bristol and fly out of Gatwick.
Land back on Sunday 2nd January early morning, hubby back to work on 4th, myself 5th with 2 kids, next 3 kids on the 6th 😂🙈
Does anyone know where the nearest gold drop box is to Gatwick? I don’t think we can risk the timings of a ‘normal’ one for hubby or I to be back to work.

Thanks

The bad news is that gold drop boxes no longer exist. The good news is that Randox have drop boxes at quite a few motorway service stations. Did this ourselves when we returned last Tuesday and having dropped the tests off at midday, our results arrived at 2.15am Wednesday morning. Can't fault a 14 hour turnaround.

Check out the dropbox location map to find one on your route home.

Noooo bummer I was relying on that 😭

I’m worried with it being bank holiday on the Monday that we won’t get the results :-/

Work would not be happy

We found the Randox drop box really good back in Sept. Dropped in on Sunday morning and results back Monday morning. I think pick up time was 3pm.

In August we used a priority post box over the bank holiday weekend and waited 4 days even though it was supposed to be collected 3pm on the Sunday. I don’t think the box was collected until late Tuesday and then we had results Wednesday.

Definitely go with a drop box over Royal Mail.

There is a drop box inside the Gatwick Holiday Inn in the Vivo Clinic. That’s where we are taking ours.

Click on the link below which shows all randox’s drop boxes and hopefully there is one either on your journey home or close to your home.
