MMD FAQs

A test kit can be ordered and dispatched within the UK without full payment. However a £10 non refundable deposit will be required. This amount will then be deducted from the final amount.

For international orders please contact us at support@aonm.org or 03331 210 305 (09:00-16:30 Mon-Fri)

Test kits to UK addresses are sent by 1st Class Royal Mail so they usually arrive within 2-3 working days.
