I haven’t had this happen, but it’s funny to watch the process in reverse. My package which was sent back to India for “incomplete address” (even though the address was absolutely complete), was progressing swiftly, through Frankfurt until it arrived in India where it’s been stuck in Indian customs for a week now. You’d think it would go through fast because it’s just an unopened return, but no. It’s sitting in Indian customs. Who knows for how long. Then Jagdish will resend it and again I’ll watch the journey. Not happy to have my meds on an endless transport loop while it’s getting hotter and hotter out there. But such is the price of postal service incompetence.

We have also heard from some unlucky people who had their first shipment was confiscated by customs in the USA. We don’t know what percentage of packages that US customs checks inside, but most people seem to think its in the low single digits - e.g. 1% to 3%. The worst we’ve ever heard is that the medicine is confiscated and you get a letter from customs like this letter shown below, and you’ve lost your money. We suspect that the person who had their product confiscated in the below letter might have been importing too many tablets at once (600) for the customs officer to accept as personal use.

Any effects on resting heart rate? I hear it can raise it, which turned me off trying reta for the time being. Currently using tirz, not bad so far. On 2.5mg. Was on sema for a year.
I already had good self-control but GLP1s have taken it to a new level, I’m like an algorithm just doing the right thing (from what I currently know anyway.)
I also strongly believe that GLP1s will be uncovered as potent longevity drugs in years to come. We already see so many off target benefits in various organ systems.
Sorry, bad luck. You are unlikely to receive your goods. You received a notification, but nothing is likely to come from it.

I see you list enclomiphene.
I placed an order from the US. I can’t send payment because your bank info is missing the SWIFT/BIC code. I sent you an email, but no response.
AI is telling me the the SWIFT code is likely REVOLT21, please confirm or supply the right code.
Yes REVOLT21 is the code.

Thanks for the quick reply.
The bank wire has been completed. Should show up on your end in the next day or two.
When I receive the goods, I’ll come back here and post, so everyone has an idea how long US shipping takes.

I got one of these FDA/HHS letters of confiscation for a small shipment about 4 months later after I had written off the shipment as lost anyway. This was a small order of about 90 pills. The strange thing is that it cleared customs from ISC and had made it to to the local USPS delivery network (NJ if I remember correctly) and no update after that. So I created a missing mail request with USPS. I called USPS and the rep said the zip code was incorrect on the box. I had written it off but got this letter yesterday. I suspect that USPS eventually found the package but maybe opened it and handed it to FDA internally in the US ? Or maybe USPS has no clue and it was with customs all along.

I read £135 is the UK threshold for import duty. From india.

Thanks Alex. While the duty limits are up to £135 I think the overriding factor is that AFAIK it is actually illegal to send prescription drugs through the UK postal system without a valid prescription.
So far I haven’t had any problems but I always keep my orders well under the offical duty limit in the hope that they would be less likely to be opened. If they are opened it could potentially open up a whole different can of worms. Maybe I’m just overly cautious.

Follow-up to my order from BG Pharma:
Brief summary -
5/12 Wire transfer presumed complete
5/19 Package handed to logistics company
5/21 Put on a plane to NY from Geneva
5/23 Out of customs
5/28 Delivered
Emails I got during the process:
Not shown, but I also got an email when delivered.
Some of those emails link to Asendia, where you can see status details while package is still in Europe -
It took 6-7 days to get shipped, but then the process proceeded quick enough that total time to receipt is similar to India packages.
Package labeling:
This is a magnified look at part of the label. Print is very small. Pretty sure you’d need a magnifying glass to read. I can make out that the description of contents mentions Vit. C and CoQ10 caps. (Actual contents - enclomiphene). Successfully passed Customs.
I had looked at the DTC website for Driada Medical, the enclomiphene manufacturer, prior to ordering, but I went back to look a second time, I noticed something that was a bit concerning. There are third party testing examples, and most look fine, but the last one gave me pause. It appears that three tablets were tested, and the results were 10.32, 11.93, and 12.54mg. A twenty percent variance in one of a three tablet sample is not reassuring. Maybe I’m reading this wrong? I don’t think so.
Summing up: The process worked. (Make note of the SWIFT code in prior post, if you are wiring funds.) If BG has something of interest, it’s worth considering. But review the manufacturer before ordering.

For what it’s worth, that’s a non-pharma manufacturer.

After seeing lots of good reviews here about Jagdish Nikrose, I am going to place my order with him. Would it be appropriate to post my email from him here on prices, his contact info and certification he sent me. I know name and number is okay but I also don’t want to cause issues for him either with too much info…maybe the wrong eyes will see.
I’m stoked I figured out how to even post here 
My point is, without this info here I would be lost. This is my first journey into rapamycin initially looking into it for my 11 soon to be 12 year old dog with heart murmurs and why not for him and myself as longevity too. And this info has been a gold mine and given me direction, so I wanted to post his reply email with his info as it might help others like me. I’ll keep ya’ll posted with updates along the way…
