A person who wishes to gain insight into their health and those who need routine testing may benefit from LetsGetChecked’s at-home testing kits. Its services may also suit those who prefer to take tests in a more private environment than in a doctor’s office or clinic.
In this article, a Medical News Today editor shares their experience using LetsGetChecked for several tests, including testosterone, vitamin deficiency, and sexual health testing.
The editor received their tests from LetsGetChecked for free, which does not influence their review. All opinions are the reviewers’ own.
“The whole process was quick, simple, and relatively pain-free. I was impressed with how quickly my results came through, and I would recommend LetsGetChecked at-home tests to MNT readers for its user-friendliness and convenience. The convenience and insights are worth the price.”

How the tests work
Once a person receives the test, they can follow the instructions within the kit. The general steps include:
People can take the samples needed for their test anywhere they feel comfortable, but the tests will specify when they should take the samples. For example, this could be a time of day, the time since exposure, or the day of a person’s menstrual cycle. When they have provided the samples, a person has to return them to LetsGetChecked using the shipping label provided.
menstrual cycle
Specific instructions apply to each type of test. A person can access information about the tests on the company’s website, including the best time to take samples and which tests require a fasting period.
fasting
Sample types include saliva, urine, and blood samples.
“The instructions for LetsGetChecked tests are very easy to follow. The kit shows you step-by-step the process of collecting your sample, with illustrations to guide you. For finger-prick tests, there are tips on where to take your sample from and how to extract enough blood for the test, which was very helpful for me, having never taken a finger-prick test before. Typically, I have had blood drawn from my arm.
“Providing a blood sample was simple. For those worried about whether the lancet hurts: the pain was a slight pinch followed by a very mild ache. The incisions are very small, at around a millimeter. There will be some tenderness the next day, but not enough to interfere with typing or other everyday actions. Overall, it was quick and relatively painless, taking about 5–7 minutes.”
A person must return their sample to the lab on the same day they take the test. The company usually asks that customers take their test before 10 am. LetsGetChecked provides the appropriate packaging.
A person can track their sample from when it leaves their home until it arrives at the LetsGetChecked facility.
The lab will notify the customer once their samples arrive. The notification will also state when their results will be available.
According to the website, this is within 2–5 working days.
2–5 working days
LetsGetChecked uses robotics and automation to process a person’s samples quickly. The company processes the samples in one of its CLIA-accredited laboratories and operates a barcoding system to ensure confidentiality.
Once the lab has analyzed a person’s test, a team of LetsGetChecked physicians will review the results. A nurse from the medical team will contact the individual to explain their results if they are abnormal, offer advice for lifestyle changes when appropriate, and in some cases, offer prescriptions.
LetsGetChecked will retain the user’s health records and results, and the user can access them from their personalized LetsGetChecked dashboard.
“My results came in just one day, and I was impressed they came through so fast. However, I tested this product in the United Kingdom. Shipping times may be longer in the U.S. as the company’s website states it has labs in just two states: New York and California.”

Customer reviews
On the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website, LetsGetChecked does not have a positive reputation. It has a D- grade and is not accredited with the BBB. A D- minus grade corresponds to 60 out of 100 points on the BBB’s scoring scale. A company’s grade is based on a variety of factors, including:
Better Business Bureau (BBB)
how quickly and effectively the business responds to and deals with complaints
the type of business it is and whether it raises safety or legal concerns
the age and size of the business
how transparent the business is about its practices
the company’s advertising practices
how it adheres to BBB policies
The average customer rating is 1 out of 5 stars. However, there are just nine reviews live, meaning they will not represent a wide range of customer experiences.
Complaints people have submitted to the company’s BBB profile mention receiving expired test kits, having trouble with refunds, and finding the healthcare support unhelpful.
