Asking this as a poll because the anecdotes are plentiful and the distribution is not.
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 bit I cannot resolve on my own is which of the variables in a cross-border order actually determine the outcome, and which are superstition.
Roughly, people seem to land in one of these:
- Held where they were and waited it out
- Changed one variable and kept everything else fixed
- Changed several things at once and cannot now attribute the result
- Stopped and reassessed from a clean baseline
Say which and say why — the why is the useful half.

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 99.4% 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:
Seized and destroyed — had to get a reshipped package.
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.

Second this.
From the other side of the consultation, briefly. Most of what circulates confidently in this community traces back to one summary of one study, and the qualifier was dropped somewhere in the third retelling.
