Is buying from overseas even worth the hassle — need advice

One order arrived in nine days, one was held at the border for a fortnight, and one came back with a seizure notice.

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.

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 99.1% purity

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

This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. It helps to say which part of this you are uncertain about. A precise question gets a precise answer; a general one gets everybody’s favourite anecdote.
