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 would rather have one careful answer than five confident ones.

International shipping tracking for cross-border ordering orders: my experience with customs in the US when ordering from overseas:
Required FDA import alert review, delayed 10 days.
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 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 99.0% 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. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.
From the other side of the consultation, briefly. 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.
