Contact lens user Josh Davies, 34, ordered his usual lenses online and instead received a stranger’s blood sample, complete with ‘biohazard’ tape, in Bolton. How often do parcels go missing in the UK? Is it legal to mail blood samples? Josh recalls, “When I opened it up and saw what was inside my jaw dropped and I was very confused to be honest.”

Amid the confusion, his local GP surgery—accustomed to routine checkups, not mystery blood vials—gathered around in bafflement. What happens if you receive a medical sample by mistake? Why does Royal Mail deliver strange items? One GP asked repeatedly if the blood was Josh’s; ultimately, the sample was returned to Lenstore, leaving everyone pondering if a lab tech somewhere is squinting at a vial of saline solution.

Even after receiving his replacement lenses the next day, Josh was still left with a biohazard bag in hand, wondering if someone’s crucial test results were swapped for a box of prescription contacts.
