Increase in testing kits

[Ali831]

Seen a surge in deliveries of covid kits which has resulted in a big increase of completed kits being placed into non priority boxes. It clearly states in the kit instructions to use a priority box and how to find one. But we all know what the general public are like, just post it anywhere without regard for the poor postie that ends up emptying the box. I had 6 today alone and normally a couple through the week and it is not a priority box!!
Can royal mail not produce another sticker on these boxes to say 'NO COVID KITS' Hopefully it would reduce some of them being posted incorrectly. Anyone else seen an increase?

Just about every post box near to where i live is a priority post box

Cmon that'd be far too sensible.

It could be partly down to lockdown, they might just be using the nearest post box to where they live whether it's a priority one or not

When you fill the test kit form in you have to put a time when you are posting the kit, as you should only post the kit no less than an hour of last collection. As the collection times are only on priority boxes then by this reasoning you can only use priority boxes.
