You are lucky! :slight_smile:
My order from Jagdish has been Held in Customs in the same ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS) for 9 days and counting even though it’s much smaller (90x 10mg empt + 240x 50mg acarbose)

As it’s my first order I have no idea how long it can take and at which point it becomes hopeless so any info from those who order frequently would be welcomed.

Don’t worry, up to 30 days is not unusual.

the only time one of my orders was held up in customs, it was eventually confiscated. They sent me a letter….ignored my pleas and demands…told me to be grateful for not charging me for disposal.

I now have 2 sources for everything and I pay extra for processing and shipping to keep my orders small.

Some people here pray to a more powerful god, and they have no problems with customs.

Thank you @desertshores and @Joseph_Lavelle .

Do you have an idea of what is a rather safe quantity?
I’ve seen 300 mentioned and indeed my order is slightly above that but some have ordered thousands of pills at once so is it purely arbitrary and a matter of luck or is there some criteria?

It depends on the size of the box, is my assumption. Have the printed boxes holding pill strips removed to minimize the air volume… is what I ask for. The supplier will leaves a flattened box inside to comply with some regulation (is my guess).

Dont order so much that you’ll be destroyed by losing it. Order a back up from another supplier if you want to be more confident of a supply.

I am intrigued by the fact that packages from Maulik Parekh sail through customs in a matter of hours and my last package was rather large. He does use a different India Postal Service than Jagdish. Is it this, or maybe the customs service computers are not tracking him?
In any case, I hope this is not too good to last. For the time being I will be ordering exclusively from Maulik Parekh

I also saw that one of Mauliks packages went through Atlanta instead of NY recently. There is something different/ better for sure.

I just placed an order with him. Hopefully this will not be blocked.

I had my first package from Maulik turn up super quick into UK. Just emailed him for a quote which was highly competitive and he was happy to be paid in British Pounds so delighted with his service.

Slightly regretting ordering though in their heatwave - I only ordered Telmisartan and it has baked in the heat. When I push them out they just crumble (unlike my previous batch sent 6 months ago).
Keeping my fingers crossed they haven’t lost efficacy, but if BP starts moving up will have to write it off.
Will make sure I stock up on everything in the winter so I no longer order during the hot season.

Just for you:
“The best time to visit Mumbai is between October to February when the days are pleasant, and evenings are breezy and soothing. The average temperature ranges between 23-32 degrees Celsius”
I do try to confine my major purchases to these months. which of course is the coolest time of year where I live.
I am a little surprised about your telmisartan though.

From what people report here, I think the seizure rate is probably under 5 percent, perhaps closer to 1 or 2 percent.

I am happy with Apple Pharm. I’ve gotten my package every time. Five times so far.

I’ve used wise w/ Jagdish twice now. The first time was flawless and I don’t even remember it asking, if it did I’d use “goods.” The 2nd time offered a faster route using my bank wire transfer to Wise’s bank in NYC, so I opted for that.

Unfortunately, the transfer seemed to get stuck. Eventually I called CS and was told everything was good, the next day I called again, and got a better CS. It was not good, I had to go, in person to my bank to complete the wire transfer and did so, then Wise did get the $ to Jadgish in a day or two.

I’d avoid the wire route within Wise and the very first time does take an extra maybe 5 days.

Jagdish appears very reliable, excellent at communicating.

How can you trust those medications? Have you been monitoring your blood levels?

Many people here have done blood tests after taking, and others have done lab tests on the products coming out of India: Rapamycin / Sirolimus from India, Lab Test Report on Quality / Purity
