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

Quality: Janoshik tested at 98.3% purity
International ordering adds complexity but can save 60-80% compared to US prices. Research your country's import laws first.

What actually works on a prior-authorisation denial, as opposed to the list of things that sound like they should work?
Closing the loop on my own question.
Follow-up — getting the denial reason in writing was the step that mattered. It named the criterion, and the criterion was a document I already had.
