Can you buy discounted Medichecks or Blue Horizon finger prick test kits and store them for future use?

Hi everyone, I have just seen that there is a good deal on Medichecks thyroid monitoring kits. I don't need to do a private test yet but will want to arrange for one about the end of May. Can you buy the kit and keep it for future use or does it have to be used fairly quickly?

I'm really hoping this isn't a stupid question!

Best wishes to all

Caroline

Medichecks must be used within 6 months. If the good deal is a Thyroid Thursday offer, they must be ordered on the Thursday.

Blue Horizon allow you to use the kit up to the use by date on the collection tube, unless they have recently changed that.

Thank you, SeasideSusie, for replying so quickly and for pointing out that it was probably a Thyroid Thursday deal I saw. I will check that. Glad to know i can buy in advance if i want to anyway.

Thanks again for your help.

Best wishes

Medichecks have different offers every Thursday. They all come around again relatively quickly. I buy Thyroid monitoring test in advance when it's on offer.

Thank you. I'll keep an eye open for the best offers then and buy in advance. Am not sure I can squeeze blood out of my fingers but I'll certainly give it a go!

Best wishes

How do I get offers . Do I just order on a Thursday or do they post offers somewhere.

Thanks

Yes, just order on a Thursday. The Thyroid Thursday offers are displayed at a lower price on their website, no need for any codes etc.

If you follow them on facebook they often do discount codes for 20% off any other undiscounted test too.
