It seems every most of the time when I order from India my package gets stopped in customs. Tracking shows my last order has been stalled in US customs for the last week. The order before that stalled in customs for 30 days before I filed a missing package report. The vendor did a re-ship. The original finally showed up. It had been mangled, opened and carelessly repackaged. I decided to pay for the second order since I ultimately received both. Is my mailing address on some kind of list? Is anyone else having problems with shipping from India??

I have been lucky, but I am spooked by reports of others.

So I try to order just the bare minimum, like just Jardiance that is very expensive stateside. That recent order for 100 tablets (from Beyond Care on IndiaMart) was immediately processed by customs with no delay. The tracking just showed it going straight through right to Queens, which was a first for me. Not even a 24-hour delay, or any delay I could see.

Like I could also get generic Cialis (tadalafil) 5 mg from India, but I rather try to get it here from my doc, even if I pay a little more or have to beg. And there are domestic and Chinese suppliers and resellers for other things.

So I only order from India as a last resort and even then keep the order to the absolute minimum, especially since most Indian resellers have a 50-percent reship policy that requires repaying for shipping as well. Or they charge more if they do have a 100-percent reship policy.

I've been lucky for the most part. But I agree with Logic, the risk of customs is much higher than it used to be.

Amazon has tadalafil pretty cheap through there tele health. No begging required.
 
After 27 days my last order finally arrived. It had been opened and poorly repackaged just like the last one. At least everything seems to be in there.
They need to take lessons from the Chinese vendors on how to ship to the US!

My new favorite Indian vendor is Beyond Care. That was the fastest experience ever with customs. But may have been just luck with my first order from them.

I placed an order with them earlier this week. I am waiting for shipping. I am hoping I am blessed with a similar experience.

Ive had shit from reliable rx inspected twice. One they pulled something out but i cant remember what they took but it wasnt a narcotic and taped everything back up.... it was either arimidex, nolvadex, or clomid they took. The cialis and amoxicillin came through. Since then ive used indiamart thrice and continue to get lucky.

And do they instantly call you on the phone once they get confirmation? Trying to be cautious of scams.

They called me as soon as I requested a price, I told them I preferred to message. She said that was fine, and I moved over to whatsapp.

I don't give my real cell number, lol. I use a Google Voice number from over ten years ago that still works.

Hard to tell what Jardiance is doing vs. GLPs since I didn't check glucose when starting Jardiance. I do like Jardiance on paper for all kinds of reasons, including to help prevent fluid retention while restarting HGH or taking tesa later.

Guess I’ve been lucky. Ihave never had a package from India opened or detained. My LOCAL post office sent one back because they claimed the address was unreadable. I got a photo from the pharmacy- there was nothing wrong with it. Someone was just an a55.
 
If it goes through Customs in New York it can take a while. Seems like some indian pharma vendors don't know how to properly declare the package, which also leads to delays in processing.
