Just a heads up that you can have your Global Entry and TSA precheck rescinded by Customs and Border Control. If you have a package stopped by customs with your name on it, they can cancel these services for ever. This relates to the list of banned substances and non approved substances seized by customs. Normally it happens 3- 6 months after the seizure. You will receive a letter revoking all privileges.

I am sure there are work arounds like sending to a different name. Something to think about when ordering from abroad.
 
Using a fake name could potentially cause even worse repercussions. From Google AI:

18 U.S. Code § 1342: Using a fictitious name/address to conduct unlawful business, defraud, or obstruct justice is a crime, punishable by fines or imprisonment.

Intent to Defraud: If the pseudonym is used to mislead someone for money or something of value, it's illegal.

USPS Actions: The Postal Service can demand ID if they suspect mail is being sent to an inaccurate address to avoid identification.

Mail fraud, definitely be aware.
 
Why are we fear mongering? This has been discussed in depth within this forum several times. People are fully aware.
I don't think it is fearmongering. People should have all of the information to make informed decisions prior to deciding whether to buy overseas or buy domestic, or maybe not buy at all. It may have been discussed several times, but I have been visiting this forum for over a year and only ever seen it discussed one time - last week - by me. I did not know this information until two weeks ago when some people I know were not allowed global entry when traveling. Now the whole company knows they were buying botox, peptides, and medications from overseas. I don't think it is fear mongering at all. For some people, global entry is a big deal.

If TSA pre-check is at the forefront of your major concerns, maybe buying unverified injectable medication from China via stectchy vedors using Whatsapp and paying in untraceable cryptocurrency just isn't your cup of tea.
