Putting this up now rather than when I am certain, because by then it will not help anybody.
Living somewhere the domestic route does not exist, which makes most of the advice on this board inapplicable to me.
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.
If your experience contradicts this, say so in the thread — I would rather be corrected here than have people act on a warning that does not hold.

My experience ordering cross-border ordering internationally: I've ordered from an Indian manufacturer. Customs can be hit or miss.
Shipping time: 14-28 days
Customs clearance: required import documentation
Quality: Janoshik tested at 99.6% purity

Filing a mild objection. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. 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.

International shipping tracking for cross-border ordering orders: my experience with customs in the US when ordering from overseas:
Package cleared customs in 2 days, no issues.
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.

Can confirm. Same sequence, different timescale. Nothing to add that would improve it.
