One order arrived in nine days, one was held at the border for a fortnight, and one came back with a seizure notice. Same route, same declaration wording.

What would genuinely help is knowing which of the variables in a cross-border order actually determine the outcome, and which are superstition.

Not looking for reassurance. Looking for the part I have got wrong.

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

Held at customs for 5 days, then released.

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 an Indian manufacturer. Customs can be hit or miss.

Shipping time: 14-28 days
Customs clearance: required import documentation
Quality: Janoshik tested at 98.3% purity

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

This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly. If two explanations both fit, the useful question is which one predicts something the other does not. That is answerable; arguing about which sounds more plausible is not.
