One order arrived in nine days, one was held at the border for a fortnight, and one came back with a seizure notice. Same route, same declaration wording.

The question I want answered is which of the variables in a cross-border order actually determine the outcome, and which are superstition.

I have searched first, so if this is covered somewhere point me at it and I will read it.

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.

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

Shipping time: 7-14 days
Customs clearance: smooth, no issues
Quality: Janoshik tested at 99.2% purity

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

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly. The version of this that has an answer is narrower than the version being asked. Narrow it and it becomes tractable; leave it broad and the thread will produce nine confident and incompatible replies.
