Shocking
Shocking. They sold me an antibody test kit to take a fingerprick test at home. On reading a Which article that’s says all at home fingerprick testing antibody kits in the uk are banned from sale I contacted them to get a full refund. I haven’t even got the kit yet and therefore it is not opened. They just called claimed this is not the test in the article so when I asked where I could get independent verification that the test is not banned they could only point me to their own website! They said I could send it back but they wouldn’t give me a full refund. Do not go near this company. In response to the comment from Better2know below: I bought the test on Tuesday 6th October 2020. It hasn’t even arrived with me yet. I have had no dealings with you prior to that date so I have no idea where your comment comes from wrt to ‘5 months ago’ The Which review was updated late September which clearly states that all at home fingerprick tests are banned in the UK. You have not been able to supply any evidence outside your own website to support your claim that the new test is not banned. If you are selling banned materials I expect a full refund. Thank you for the 2nd response Better2know. I expect the full refund not minus the admin fee of £50 which is what I received in your email to me today. Please confirm. Once the kit arrives I will be sending it straight back. I cannot find any independent site that says any at home fingerprick tests are approved in the UK. I agree you have a CE Mark but that is not the same as saying you have a test approved independently within the UK (CE is a conformity measure not a measure of quality or certification) Update 13th Oct 2020 I received the kit in the post Friday 9th Oct lunchtime and returned it by 1st class recorded delivery to the address provided to me by Better2know via email. I have had no acknowledgement of receipt from you yet or confirmation of full refund as you state in your message below
