How long do Covid Tests take to ship?

[hazeleyes46]

Going the end of August and so far looking like we will have to test. What is the best test to purchase and how long do they usually take to ship so I get them on time? 

Thanks 🙂

Speaking only of ones I ordered from emed.com -  They took about 4 days to ship and arrived 2 days later. I got text/email updates when they were on the way.

Great, thanks. Thought I would have to order a month ahead of time.

Took a week from order to arrival for orders from both emed and optum.

I had my test from Optum in 2 days.

I had optum tests in 2 or 3 days.

Took about five days. For some reason they were in Arizona for 2 days. Just got them, and they expire next May.

Or use the ones supplied free by government and pay for the proctor service.

How do you do get to the proctor service?

My mom works at a hospital where there's an on-site lab. We all test there and get results in less than an hour.

Has anyone used NCL's covid testing co ( inspire diagnostic ) for pre board testing? and was it easy? pros and cons?

Same with mine. Quite surprised and relieved.  Enjoy.

My husband I used Inspire and it was super easy.  We booked our appt together, did the test at the same time, and our results were emailed to us immediately (the tester waited online until we received the email).  I cant think of any con!

I used Rapid Test & Trace. Their website says you will receive the kits in 2-3 business days but they ship they USPS. I did an online chat and they just said they shipped them out the same day I ordered. I would not recommend as USPS can be really slow.
