Well, everything is possible. Sincerely haven't thought that they could be scamming us, but now that you tell...Still I find it hard to believe since there have been people with good experiences from this vendor...but anything could be.
Till now what I claimed to be the reason of the package getting stuck in the customs was a unintended lack of care from the vendor. When the package got stuck in the customs I received the respective documentation to fill in with a photograph of the package. The package looked to me very noticeable, it was a box, I didn't order that many meds for them to use a box I think. All the vendors I have done orders before had sent me the meds in a discreet envelope but not this one.
I hope Charon is right and this is temporary and both of us will receive our packages eventually, Good luck man.

It does seem like "different" hands are runing the ship at this point... Maybe they can get straightened out, but for now I have my doubts....
Tread with care...

So this is wild. Package was stuck in customs for almost 2 months. I was already on edge when my doorbell rings while I'm sleeping. I immediately think somethings up since if this is mail it's way earlier than normal, I jump out of bed and run out but it's too late, my roomate has already answered and I hear a voice at the door that is the wrong sex for our usual driver. I also usually don't have to sign so this is bad. I'm certain at this point it's a CD in progress and attempt to clean house. I grab the package from roomie and it has tape on it declaring US customs has opened and examined the package.
Oh shit.
I throw it in the trash and start preparing for the inevitable. But nothing came. No one outside. I go to sleep certain it's only a matter of time. Left in trash for over a week. I finally decide nothing is going to happen so open it up and it's exactly what I ordered, exact same product as always. Packaging was terrible but that's it. US customs opened it and decided it was good to go?
Don't know that I can declare this vendor back in good graces but they did send what was ordered.

Glad to hear that man, so in the end it was the package which is too evident? and the customs let it go like it was ok? you sure have luck. I didn't know the customs could open the package without the owner present, I thought it was illegal. happy to see that it ended well.

It turns out the one that was inspected and still sent through was the newer order, it was in customs for around 2 weeks. The older order was also in customs for around 2 weeks, but it's been a long long time since then and no sign of it and no updates on tracking.
I wish it would just either get here or be marked dead.

Pertaining to our "p0stal syt3m", I had an order ( not with this vendor ) that showed "inbound into cust0ms" and never to be seen again... For months I looked at the number and still showed the same thing. Then after several months, it was gone! showed nothing, so I went for more info on it and it showed that, not only they were using the number for a different shipment, they said that my "original" pkg was "being prepared to ship from it's original country" What?!?!
Needless to say, I never got that one, nor did I get a LL ... I think that some small pkgs simply get lost in our most fabulous system ...
Who would really know...
Good luck..

Indeed, it must be fun to be the person who gets to open, or incinerate or whatever they do to all the lost and unclaimed packages

i want to say it was a vice article or video, but i recently saw a confession of a former non-US customs officer who detailed his experience being an addict and consuming his seizures. i'm sure anyone could easily google it and find it. as you might expect his story takes a typical arc of 'fun at first, then became a burden'

I have a question regarding something mentioned in this thread, Can customs open the package without the owner present.
