I was scared to order from overseas but these vendors are legit

The useful checklist is about verifiability rather than presentation.

International shipping tracking for cross-border ordering orders: my experience with customs in the US when ordering from overseas:

Required FDA import alert review, delayed 10 days.

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.

Agreed, with a caveat about community reputation: it is a lagging indicator.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.

I disagree that testing history is decisive. It tells you what a supplier did when they were being watched. Continuity of behaviour under stress — a late shipment, a failed test, a complaint — is more predictive than any run of good results.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. If you are going to change something, change one thing and give it long enough to express itself. Four weeks is the usual minimum for anything pharmacological on this board, and two weeks of data has told you almost nothing.

Moderator note: the sourcing question belongs in the vendor section and has been split out. Carry on.
