Living somewhere the domestic route does not exist, which makes most of the advice on this board inapplicable to me.

What I am after is which of the variables in a cross-border order actually determine the outcome, and which are superstition.

Not looking for reassurance. Looking for the part I have got wrong.

My experience ordering cross-border ordering internationally: I've ordered from an Australian compounder. Customs can be hit or miss.

Shipping time: 5-10 days
Customs clearance: was seized once, reshipped free
Quality: Janoshik tested at 99.1% purity

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

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

Package cleared customs in 2 days, no issues.

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 matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. It helps to ask what evidence would change your mind before you look at any. If nothing would, the discussion is not about evidence, and it is better to say so early than to spend nine posts discovering it.
