Has anyone dealt with shipping times mega-thread?

My experience ordering cross-border ordering internationally: I've ordered from an Australian compounder.

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.

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

One concrete data point for the thread. Keep the original post as written when you update it, and add the correction underneath. An edited-away mistake is invisible to the next person who makes it.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. There is a difference between no evidence and evidence of no effect, and this subject is one where the two get swapped freely in both directions.

One thing that is still open after jennifer_SEA’s answer:

Was that from a primary source or from a summary of one?

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Update: the thing I was blaming turned out not to be the cause. Leaving the original post as written rather than editing it, so the mistake stays visible for whoever searches this next.
