Those items will be delivered to you after approval by an eMed Medical Professional." Has anyone else has this happen? If so is there a cost from them to get this "prescription"? They are making it hard to do business with them. Never had that. I bought 2x using the link on Royal's website. The last time was about 1 1/2 weeks ago.

The 2 and 3 pack together cost the same as 6 pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK biting the bullet and just going ahead and buying at the Optum Store through the RC website. It is still $7.99 shipping but I am tired of stressing about it. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelbug4 Posted March 27, 2022 #36 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I ordered last week on the RC site for the 2 packs from Optum. I called because it said free shipping for over $49 and I couldn't get that to work. She told me they need to update the website, they are no longer offering the free shipping on either the 2 pack or 3 pack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to order the 3 pack now, use one in May and the other in September, and then have an extra one - so this will work. Thanks for responding!

Must depend on where they're shipping to. I wish there was an option for standard shipping instead of FedEx 2 day to save some $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They charge $7.99 for "expedited shipping" then said tests would arrive Wednesday or Thursday. At least I have them ordered so don't have to worry.

SKSMIKE5 Posted March 28, 2022 #43 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I assume we take the test "in front" of the eMed medical professional on-line who verifies everything is accurate and sends the results? Can multiple people use the same login account or does every traveler have to have their own? My husband and I planned to help my parents do the test before our Alaska Cruise in June. Thanks.

I got the shipping notice early Friday morning and they should be here tomorrow. Apparently the prescription thing is some sort of formality but it didn’t delay or complicate the order any. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each adult person has to have a separate account. Parents can include children on their account i believe and help but not sure if an adult can get help. Is there a faq on their website?

No worries, we'll just have to set up multiple accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered with Optum through the RC website. Charged for "Expedited shipping" with not way to op out of that. That was Saturday and still no tests yet and cannot find that they were ever shipped.
