Randox to Offer Click and Collect Covid-19 Testing

Randox has made its Covid-19 testing for travel available by click and collect through an extension of its partnership with PayPoint.

Customers can now order tests online and pick them up at a store within the PayPoint-owned Collect+ network.

The service, which launched today, will initially be available in more than 5,000 locations and expanded to over 10,000 points nationwide.

Randox says it hopes the extension will boost access to for travellers returning to the UK, and the announcement follows the government’s latest relaxation of testing measures for arrivals who have been vaccinated. From 4am Sunday, January 9, lateral flow tests will be accepted in place of PCR tests for arrivals.

Returning holidaymakers will also be able to pick up Randox tests without ordering online in more than 2,500 PayPoint locations from mid-January. This service will be offered in partnership with retailers including Scotmid Co-operative and Spar in the North West of England and Scotland.

Dr Peter FitzGerald, managing director of Randox, said: “The availability of value for money tests that can be collected at the customer’s convenience thanks to our partnership with PayPoint means people in the UK don’t need to wait for home delivery or a walk-in clinic appointment when ordering a COVID-19 test.”

PayPoint chief executive Nick Wiles added: “Our expanded partnership with Randox will deliver yet another vital service to help keep people safe in communities across the UK”

The day two lateral flow tests ordered online must be ordered before travel to England and are available from 4am on January 7. Tests will be priced at £18.95, and can be collected from local stores.
