The service was good but unnecessarily complicated

The service was good but complicated by the royal funeral on the day of my departure.

The service would be excellent if their staff were more proactive in taking your last flight details & working backwards in terms of the 48:hours period. The man who initially served me kept refusing to take responsibility.

If Katalyst had regularly updated software that just required destination & last flight departure time, the best option of next day result or same day or express service could be decided efficiently.

Instead, I initially booked express service (my mistake, which wasn't corrected by their staff) then that was cancelled by the royal funeral & I was advised that a next day service was fine. That meant various phone calls and their need to refund part of my payment.

If the service had been more professional/helpful from the start, this changing of appointments & refund could have been avoided.

All the personnel I met were very…Trustworthy clinic

All the personnel I met were very helpful and friendly. They gave me a great sense of trust. The day I made my PCR test is the day of Queen's funeral where many others clinic in London were closed. But Katalyet Health keep their promise to give me the service. I appreciate it very much.

Easy to use website for bookings

Easy to use website for bookings. I had made some mistakes booking but called and the staff was super helpful and solved my problem. Test was quick and straightforward. Results came very shortly. Would recommend.

I didn't receive the correct certificate to present to my government and had to take another PCR test from a different company instead.

Good evening Yuko,

We do apologise for the inconvenience regarding your results.

After a closer review, I can confirm that your initial certificate had been issued on 02/09/2022, at 5:01pm. We then issued the secondary certificate, valid for travel to Japan, on the 02/09/2022 at 6:03pm.

We are sincerely sorry that the email had not been received successfully, however, please do note that the second certificate issued is accepted and accredited through the MySOS app.

We advise those travelling to Japan and other countries with special requirements to routinely check their Spam/Junk mail in case the certificate finds its way there.

If you have any issues or would like to discuss this with our customer service team in greater detail, please do not hesitate to contact us through support@wearekatalyst.com.

Kind regards,
Support Team.

Good evening Quan,

I am sorry to hear you were not able to find the email with your results before your boarding time.

I have taken a look at your sample and have seen that while your results were issued within 15 minutes from the sample collection time, the certificate was also sent to your email. In some cases, these emails can be located in either your inbox or your junk/spam folder and in other instances it can be due to the email firewalls restricting external emails.

I do understand that you have already boarded and presumably already landed to your destination but, if you do require a copy of your results or if you do have any questions please do remember we are also available through our support email: support@wearekatalyst.com

Kind regards,
