CAN I SEND FROM OVERSEAS?
You can send your blood sample to us from any country. The quicker you can get it to us the better, from most countries it is possible to use a 3 day service which works well.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The test is done free of charge, but if you do wish to contribute, please make all cheques payable to 'British Pigeon Fanciers Medical Research Trust.' and include them with your sample. Any donations are gratefully received.

HOW LONG SHOULD I EXPECT TO WAIT?
The samples will be processed as quickly as possible. If you have not heard from us 1 month after sending to us, please contact us
