Testosterone saliva kits

Has anyone used the saliva kits for assessing testosterone levels?

Easier, cheaper and (apparently) more reliable than blood testing.
Not sure if they measure both free and bound test levels (i've emailed one place to ask). Pretty good at around 25-35 seems to me, much cheaper than the cost of having an additional testosterone serum test as an adjunct to the normal blood test, and def much easier as you just send the sample through the post (presumably in some sort of container rather than just gobbing in the envelope)

Just curious as not really seen them mentioned before on here (tho they probably have been). If anyone's vaguely interested I've got a few links for decently priced places
