Waste of money

Waste of money. I have been highly allergic to garlic with an immediate impact on my digestive system. My digestive system has been giving me more problems so I thought I'd see if I was allergic to other foods. My test results came back saying I had no issues with garlic but allergic to other foods that I've never had any issues with.

Thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear you are not satisfied with your test results.
Please note, we do not test for garlic allergies, but rather garlic intolerance. Intolerance and allergy reactions are separate medical conditions and are caused by different raised antibodies. Therefore, a garlic allergy will not be detected on an intolerance test.
If you have any further questions or queries related to your test results, please do not hesitate to contact our team at info@allergytest.co who will be happy to help and advise.

Ordered a test for my autistic son due…

Ordered a test for my autistic son due to his anxiety around drs surgery. I paid extra for expedited results but after nearly a month they are claiming to still not had the sample sent in to them. Refusing to send another test kit or give a refund. Order from york labs people. Twice the price but results in 10 days!!

Ive received a reply but cannot figure out how to reply to the reply. Anyway ive received a new kit as someone eventually answered my emails. It has been posted back amd now awaitong results. The test was not received without an order number as i know i filled it in, however it was received with an incorrect order number as i put my wowcher order number instead of the labs order number. At the time of posting back i wasnt aware i had 2 order numbers.

Thank you for reaching out Sarah, I am very sorry to hear you are not satisfied with the service received.

Unfortunately, the sample arrived at our labs with no order number and therefore our labs were unable to identify the test package.

However, our team would be happy to dispatch a new testing kit and upgrade your test to fast-track priority testing within 48 hours free of charge, if this helps?

Please confirm and I will dispatch this right away for you.

While they are helpful when I needed them I don’t rust the results. It told me I’m allergic to meat, salmon, peanuts, hazelnuts. I eat these things on a regular basis and never had a reaction. This was the blood panel IGE test. I got an allergist to test me about 11 years ago and I was allergic to absolutely nothing. I will be seeing an allergist again to confirm or deny these results and if I do, I will be asking for a full refund.

100% recommendation

Thank you the results, they revealed some expected as well as some unexpected results. I’ve had my son & daughter tested. So good to eliminate sore stomach, fatigue & eczema caused by food allergies & intolerances. Thank you. Definitely recommend.

Thank you for reaching out, however, these are very serious allegations that we completely dispute. We are a legal, scientifically back medical company, offering a large range of health tests to our global client database. We are not a scam, and we definitely do not fake results. We have reached out via the Find Reviewer feature on Trust Pilot, as we believe this review to be fake and aimed at damaging Global Testing Labs. We hope you will reach out so we can fully investigate. Alternatively, we will be reporting this review to Trust Pilot.

Please provide your name, order number or email so that we can locate these messages. Thank you.

Terrible

Terrible! No results for me and my wives results are wrong as we know she has an allergy that their test didn't highlight.

Months of chasing a refund, and nothing just a generic email with the heading "Case Closed"

Save your money and do not buy their tests

Do Not Use!

Edit: Global Testing Lab claim it’s not them but my results email was from them, which I can prove (see profile pic). Feel like they are trying to hide behind trading names.
Even if you weren’t the original company I ordered through and therefore may not be responsible for the customer service part, but YOU tested my blood (in the UK not in Aus) for allergies and intolerances and got it completely wrong.
Also didn’t even have the decency to spell my name correctly.
I stand by my review.
It was an 8 month process, first it was lost in the mail twice (both to receive and to send). The tests were promoted under the guise of ‘Allergy Tests Australia’ but isn’t Australian at all (UK based apparently). Customer Service from Allergy Tests Australia was slow and indifferent via email and live chat to the point where I asked for them to please pretend to care.
Finally I got the results from Global Testing Lab and it said I was allergic to ‘meat’ and intolerant to egg white and hazelnut. I saw an allergy specialist to get more detail and to find the exact meat etc, and it turns out I am NOT allergic to anything they claimed at all.

Thank you for reaching out Lindsey, I can see fro your order number that you have not purchased a test from Global Testing Lab. After a quick bit of searching, I can see you ordered from Allergy Test Australia, which is a different company to us. Would you be so kind as to remove this review and put it on the review site for the actual brand you purchased from?

The Global Testing Labs service has offices in Australia so you don't need to wait for your results, and we have 24/7 livechat so you dont have to wait for someone to get back to you. We'd appreciate you removing this so it doesn't affect our ability to help people.

Placed an order online and paid $400.

Placed an order online and paid $400.

Waited a month. Nothing. Contacted them. The test had not even been sent.

Still waiting for a refund.

There must be better options than this shoddy operation

Update: just read their response to my review. They think I’m their competition. Funny. I wish I was. I could dominate their market by actually sending orders.

**Update**
This user has not responded to our 'Find Reviewer' request through TrustPilot, so we believe this is written by the competition.

Thank you for getting in touch, we have reached out to ask for your purchase details like order number and email as at this time we have no record of you ever purchasing from Global Testing Lab and we think this review could be for a competitor company.

We have a full postal and tech team in place to ensure that all products ordered are sent immediately (not including bank holidays and also offer tracking details to your door so you can see exactly where your purchase is at all times. In the case of the hair testing, we do send all tests out via email for digital download.

Too much

I’m intolerant LOL! Global testing labs told me what I’m intolerant of, and it's ALOT. This is one test you really need to do but be careful on what you'll eat afterwards

If I could give zero stars I would

If I could give zero stars I would. I placed an order on the 4th of August, contacted the company about 2 weeks later when I didn’t receive any shipping notification or any other notice besides my purchase confirmation. Today is now October 12th and I am still trying to get a refund for a test that never arrived and was apparently never shipped. The company did not offer a tracking number for my order and said that no tracking number could exist bc of the carrier changes. What?! I’ve ordered things from other countries and ALWAYS receive a tracking number. Buyer BEWARE. This is either not a real company or an extremely poorly run business that I would not trust with my health data.

Respect those negative review

Think twice before you place the order, after you see all this negative review.

I haven't done the test yet, because I still didn't get the test kit. The customer service said the delivery system lost it, which I believe that it's not their fault. The awful part is the responding time and attitude.

I placed the order on July 18th from Seattle, I thought the kit would be delivered in one week, as the order email indicated "first class via air". After two week, I chatted with customer service, he said 7 to 21 days is normal. I contacted them again in the end of August, which is after more than 40 days, the customer service transfer my case to another department because they need to resend the kit.

During this time, the website is undergoing 40% promotion, then 45%. So I talked to rep requesting that promo, and she ignored it.

Today is Sep 3rd, I still didn't get the reply if they resend the kit or not, no idea what would happen about following experience.

I should have read the reviews.

I should have read reviews before I did this!
I sincerely believe that the blood samples my wife and I sent in had nothing to do with the results we received.
I was really hoping that I would get some useful information from this test but it meant nothing. I am extremely allergic to crustaceans. I ate lobster once and was rushed to the hospital and if I touch shrimp my fingers will swell. This test found no allergy to crustaceans. All of my life, whenever I come into contact with grass I get a rash. This test found no allergy to grass. It said I am allergic to beef and almonds, however I eat almonds every morning and I eat steak and hamburgers with no ill effects. I am beginning to doubt that allergy can be detected with a blood test. If it is possible, Globaltestinglab is not doing it. I think that they take your money and turn out a random result. I rarely write reviews but I think that anyone considering this should be forewarned. I wish you all the best. Cheers,
