Living somewhere the domestic route does not exist, which makes most of the advice on this board inapplicable to me.
Long enough now to say something useful rather than something enthusiastic.
Cold chain is the underrated risk on long routes. A shipment held at a border for a week has had a temperature excursion whether or not it arrives.
What I am after 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:
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.

Pushing back on anna.melb_AU here. Import rules are jurisdiction-specific and this board keeps giving US-shaped answers to non-US questions. What is a personal-import allowance in one country is a controlled-import offence in another.

My experience ordering cross-border ordering internationally: I've ordered from an Australian compounder. Customs can be hit or miss.

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