Take a Test: Test Kit Return - Shipping Options
Note: Depending on the type of kit you are using, there may be a time limit for taking the test and returning it for proper testing. Be sure to work within those timeframes to ensure that your test is valid.
The specific timeframes for your test will be provided in the app and in the accompanying printed documentation. Depending on the test and your institution, you may have the ability to drop off the test for shipping service. The shipping options will vary based on the test and your institution.
If you are taking the test on the weekend, please note any times/days your shipping company may be closed to avoid any shipping delays.
Some at-home tests need to be sent to a lab for processing. For these tests the flow will instruct you on how to drop off your test for shipping.
