Customs delays like that are more common than people expect, especially with anything that has a clearly labeled active ingredient. The fact that it was opened, tagged, and still released usually means it passed inspection but got flagged for manual review. NY is a known bottleneck, so a few weeks there doesn’t necessarily mean trouble, just slow processing. Still, it’s a reminder that ordering internationally always carries that extra layer of uncertainty.
For anyone trying to avoid that headache, working with a pharmacy that has clearer communication and a more structured ordering process can make a difference. One thing that helps is having a direct line for questions before and after placing an order, something available through Corpus Memorial Pharmacy Contact(corpusmemorialpharmacy.c o m), which makes it easier to confirm shipping practices, labeling, and what to expect if anything gets held up. That kind of transparency can save a lot of guesswork, especially with medications that tend to draw attention at customs.
Also, regarding the earlier question about 2mg sirolimus tabs, going the prescription route domestically is still the safest bet in terms of consistency and avoiding seizure risks. The per mg cost might be higher, but it often balances out when factoring in reliability and delivery time.
First time ever my shipment through New York was seized. They sent me a letter saying I had dapagliflozin without a prescription. It was legal mumbo jumbo to me and I just let it go though there was I think a way to object. I do have a prescription for it. They never mentioned the Maraviroc which I don’t have a prescription for. Laxminarayan reshipped and it came through. Same package same port.
I had literally over 20 packages from December to March and all were delivered just fine. Now I have one stuck at customs since 04/06, so I guess it is a matter of luck more so than changes on customs policy or patterns. Oh well even If I lose couple 100$ won’t hurt much considering I already brought in over $5000 worth (stocked for 5-7 years) which at USA prices (without insurance) would be over $70,000, and even with insurance it would have actually cost a bit more than the regular prices from India.
I remain pleased with Jagdish. I just placed my third order in the past two months. Each of the first two arrived in less than two weeks, total. Jagdish is also personally responsive in explaining national and local holidays that can affect how quickly he is able to post a package. I’m using Wise. I like the security and global footprint of this company and their rates are insanely low.
As I have mentioned before, Maulik uses a different postal service than Jagdish.
My recent orders have been moving through customs very quickly. My last order was received in 10 days from the time of mailing. My current order just cleared customs and is expected to arrive in the next two days.
Well, they have much, much bigger fish to fry than me/someone importing meds for personal use, plus we don’t live in USSR where people will be jailed at the will of a comrade LOL. I have zero fear and on top of that when they seized my stuff (which they did couple times in the past) I fought very hard with them (to no avail though) asking them to let my shipment pass. Yeah, trust me they have way bigger things to deal with than to come after us. To put it into context I know someone that some fraudster emptied their bank account to the tune of over $200K and even though he gave them all the info and even some names (he was able to have some convo with the scammers) and it’s been over three years and northing. The person has hired a PI and has been able to identify the whole group and still the FBI wouldn’t give a shit. LOL. so yeah, trust me I sleep very good at night- well, actually let me rephrase that, I sleep very bad but for reasons other than me being worried about importing cheap medication LOL.
What is more of an issue (for anyone) it is probably if they do get in some turbulent waters and they happen to be searched then anything they find they deem illegal they’ll try to nail you for it. They’ll try to find some illegality even if you bought meat at a grocery store LOL. But to get them to come to my home to start with it takes way more than me bragging about stashing medications for later use.
They seize it all, but the whole order has reshipped and is here now.
I haven’t really been working out like normal because of the injury so have not started taking Maraviroc yet. I just restarted Rapa. Feeling great actually now and we’re trying to put in a crop here so very busy.
Got a shipment through from India to Japan. Another victory against the regulatory state and intellectual property! Unfortunately I cannot recommend this vendor I found on Indiamart “Alchemist Overseas.” I specifically asked for a quote for Rapacan but they sent me Siroboon. When I asked them about it they denied that they had quoted for Rapacan even though it was in the email clear as day.
I’m excited about the generic semaglutide though. First time trying Acarbose, Tadalafil and Imeglimin too. For reference here was the quote I went with:
Congrats, but yes, substituting a different brand is absolutely a no-no, and then lying about it is an immediate disqualification. The customs thing is a bit of a lottery, and the occasional seizure and loss is just part of the price to pay for participation. I gladly pay it to avoid the hassle of dealing with the medical industry mafia here, not to mention the steep savings. I just hope this route never closes.
I do worry in the long run we will see automated package scanning that will shut down our supplies, it’s probably better to stockpile now and hope we have enough to last us till a libertarian attitude finally takes hold.
You guys are talking about two different types of scanning… there is bar-code / address scanning (which is in widespread use already) , and there is this idea of x-ray, or medication and drug scanning… and this seems to be minimal and in-effective right now.
I’ve had experience with all but the “Dr. Reddy’s” brand. They seem ok… but it’s hard to know for sure. The biggest issues that we might run across are going to be impurities, or dosing inaccuracies… which are very hard to identify without testing.
All the companies listed are major Indian pharma, except for the Eisai, and Healing Pharma brands. I try to avoid those, but it’s not always convenient to do so.
