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.
Numbers rather than impressions, if you have them.

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 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 98.6% purity
International ordering adds complexity but can save 60-80% compared to US prices. Research your country's import laws first.

Same pattern here, and in the same order. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.
Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. Take it one variable at a time. Almost every unanswerable question in these threads is unanswerable because three things changed in the same fortnight, and no amount of subsequent argument can untangle them after the fact.
