International shipping tracking for cross-border ordering orders: my experience with customs in the US when ordering from overseas:

Held at customs for 5 days, then released.

Tips: always include a copy of your prescription, declare medication properly on customs forms, keep quantities reasonable (personal use = 3 month supply max), and use a vendor who has experience shipping to your country.

This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. Import rules are jurisdiction-specific and this board keeps giving US-shaped answers to non-US questions. What is a personal-import allowance in one country is a controlled-import offence in another.

My experience ordering cross-border ordering internationally: I've ordered from a Canadian pharmacy. Customs can be hit or miss.

Shipping time: 10-21 days
Customs clearance: held for 3 days then released
Quality: Janoshik tested at 97.6% purity

International ordering adds complexity but can save 60-80% compared to US prices. Research your country's import laws first.

Mine went the same way, slower. Nothing to add that would improve it.
