Living somewhere the domestic route does not exist, which makes most of the advice on this board inapplicable to me.

The bit I cannot resolve on my own is which of the variables in a cross-border order actually determine the outcome, and which are superstition.

Numbers rather than impressions, if you have them.

International shipping tracking for cross-border ordering orders: my experience with customs in the US when ordering from overseas:

Seized and destroyed — had to get a reshipped package.

Tips: always include a copy of your prescription, declare medication properly on customs forms, keep quantities reasonable (personal use = 3 month supply max), and use a vendor who has experience shipping to your country.

My experience ordering cross-border ordering internationally: I've ordered from a Canadian pharmacy. Customs can be hit or miss.

Shipping time: 10-21 days
Customs clearance: held for 3 days then released
Quality: Janoshik tested at 99.6% purity

International ordering adds complexity but can save 60-80% compared to US prices. Research your country's import laws first.

Same pattern here, and in the same order.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion. Almost every disagreement here turns out to be two people measuring different things and comparing the numbers anyway.
