How to collect your sample

Find the kit you were sent. If you are not sure which you have, the device in your box tells you — and your order confirmation names it too.

📅 Collect Monday to Thursday, and post it back the same day.

Do not collect on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday, and avoid the days either side of a holiday. Couriers do not move samples over a weekend, and a sample that has sat too long has to be rejected and collected again. If you are unsure whether a week is affected, leave it until the following Monday — the kit keeps.
