Frequently asked questions

All STI test kits are sent by An Post, either on the day you ordered or on the next working day. Most kits arrive in 3 to 5 days. If your kit has not arrived after 7 working days, get in touch. This allows for any delays with the post.

If it’s been more than 7 working days since your kit was dispatched and it has not arrived, we can send you a new kit. Contact our team and include your mobile number, date of birth and full delivery address. This helps us find your order in our system and send you a replacement.

The Freepost packs for sending samples back to the lab usually arrive safely in 3-4 days, but sometimes delays with the post affect this. At the lab, it can take up to 72 hours to do the tests and send your results.

If it has been more than 7 working days since you posted your samples, get in touch by text or email and our customer care team will be able to help you.

In your message, please include the date you posted your samples and:

• Your name

• Your postcode

• Your phone number

• Your date of birth

This helps us to quickly track your order in our systems.
