How to Return Your Sample

Our preferred method for sample return is for your sample to be left into one of our clinics. 

We have locations at Belfast International Airport (at McCauslands), in Letterkenny in the car park of the Clanree Hotel and in Bridgend, Careys Amusements, Co. Donegal.

You can also avail of Randox's network of dropbox's across the UK and Northern Ireland.

If our clinics or a drop box is not accessible in your area we recommend using a DX drop box, each kit should include a DX return label.

If these return options do not suit your needs, you are also able to return your sample by arranging an alternative courier. This alternative courier must be able to accept a biological sample. Please note that arranging an alternative courier is at your own risk and any issues with these 3rd parties must be dealt with directly with them.

Our preferred method for sample return is to return to one of our clinics as we hand deliver your sample to the lab in the quickest time possible.

RETURNING YOUR SAMPLE WITH AN ALTERNATIVE COURIER

If these return options do not suit your needs, you may choose to return your sample via an alternative courier at your own risk, however, please note that this may result in a delay to your test result as many do not operate 7 days a week.

You should ensure the alternative courier can deliver biological samples to our laboratory next day tracked, you must select and pay for the appropriate service in full or your sample will not reach Randox. Samples must arrive within 70 hours of swabbing to undergo testing.
