Bringing into Australia & border control

[SoxiesMum]

Hi everyone,
I'd like to stock up on a year or 2 supply but I'm cautious with bringing too much in at once from china into Australia. Any tips or previous experiences with border control? I really don't want to lose hundreds of dollars, but USD40 for each package in postage is a lot too.

Personally, I would just pay the extra $40 because it is stomach churning for me in the US to see my package (of controlled substances from India) held up in customs for days. And customs in Australia seems more effective at finding illicit peptides than in the US:

You’re in Australia, which has customs that seizes a lot of packages. I think they’ll allow you to skip the insurance and take the loss if your customs intercepts the package, which is probably what you got from TCI but were lucky and didn’t have to find out. If they instead built that into the normal price it would mean all of us Americans and others are pitching in to pay for your country’s harsh enforcement which doesn’t seem like a great solution. Charging you optional insurance coverage is perfectly reasonable, this is hardly the bait and switch you’re presenting it to be.
