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.

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.

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

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 97.3% purity

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

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

Package cleared customs in 2 days, no issues.

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.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud.

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. Whatever the answer turns out to be, the method for getting there is the same: state the assumption, do the arithmetic in public, and invite the correction. That is slower than asserting, and it is the only version that survives being wrong.
