Quotes were given within an hour of me calling which was great. There was good communication from Martin when the sampling agency had difficulty arranging the sample collection.

Don't waste your money

Don't waste your money. This company is a joke, their staff are bare face liars specially the manager supervisor who is condescending. Then another leaves you weeks chasing things and then tells you, you have more time its fine to then find out you have 4 days and then when you contact them you're repeatedly having the phone put down on you, staff are rude refusing to help and telling me to go to csa. When it's not csa who made the mistakes or have rubbish staff members it's cell mark. I've asked many times for this to be escalated and they just keep refusing so now I have to escalate it myself which isn't a problem. Good luck to them explaining to the judge everything they did wrong:) good luck cause youre going to need it.

They state they tried to help and they did not they discriminated lied and still lying now. They refuse to accept the fact their staff made mistakes by failing to inform me of everything when I asked questions they refused to listen to calls back they refused to accept any responsibility it's nothing to do with csa that your staff are incompetent. See you in court

AVOID THIS COMPANY

AVOID THIS COMPANY

One of the worst company’s I’ve ever dealt with. From day 1 is was under quoted, provided wrong information. Told the sample was not long enough and needed another test, even though I had a photo showing way over length.

After being rinsed for more money and fobbed of I eventually got my test which was supposed to show usage month by month for cocaine. (It did not) it said it could not tell when or how much I took. Totally scam

AVOID THIS COMPANY AND USE ANOTHER

Dear Mr Ferries
I am very sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your recent case with Cellmark.
Hair drug and alcohol testing relies on a hair sample being the correct length and sufficient weight for the analysis to be carried out and I can see that the first sample collected was not sufficient in length for us to carry out the analysis you had requested and we had to wait several months for the hair before we were able to obtain a sample of the correct length.
The report you received showed a month by month analysis for the drug testing as you had requested.
The alcohol testing showed an overview for the time period specified and this is because it is not possible to provide a month by month analysis for alcohol testing.
It is also not possible with this type of testing to state when a particular drug was taken or the quantity taken and this is because of variables between the strength and purity of drugs as well as differences between how quickly a drug will be metabolised by different individuals.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can provide any further information to assist with your case.
