Did anyone have success with Onpoint testing?

People have reported success with OnPoint in this other thread -

I’m using them before a cruise next week so can report back if you’d like. I like that they will proctor any FDA-authorized home test, so I can use the free tests we can order from the government.

Thank you for posting about this company. There are two of us so I’ve decided to go with them next week. I called them today, to get clarity on which home test kits could be used. She said any FDA-authorized home test kit was accepted by them; I can use up some of these free Covid tests I’ve received! She also said separate email addresses were not needed to get the test results; both could use the same email address.

Also, they seemed to have lowered their pricing for now as the proctored telemedicine test today is $14.99 per person.

Edit to add - she also said same day appointments were possible, but the earliest next available for today when I called was five & a half hours out from my call time. So it may not always be same day immediately.

Thank you, I just ordered from them for our party of 6. I'll see how it goes.

There’s a lot info about self testing in this thread https://www.disboards.com/threads/k...ng-rule-changes.3883524/page-17#post-64058322

I’ve posted about my experience with them there, starting in comment #327. It was a very smooth process for us.

Sharing this here for those flying to Vancouver - this was posted in the AbD forum - the US is dropping the Covid test requirements for international travelers when flying back in to the US!

And they are suspending random testing at the airport until June 30. Wonder what will happen when they start it back "offsite" in July.

Delete, sorry I misread the above post, I guess I’m just too excited to see this US testing requirement dropped!
