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.
If the honest answer is that nobody knows, that is a useful answer and I would rather have it.

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 99.3% purity
International ordering adds complexity but can save 60-80% compared to US prices. Research your country's import laws first.

Second this. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.
Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion. Almost every disagreement here turns out to be two people measuring different things and comparing the numbers anyway.
