FDA seized the shipment

[AlexKChen]

They did a reship at last, but said “this is not something they normally do” and asked me to help compensate for half of the amount seized.

What would you make of such a request?

Tbf, their costs are way lower than that of most.

Tech stocks really just crashed, so this may have to take time (and increments) if I do it, and I may say I have to do bloodwork first to see if what they do actually lowers my cholesterol and matches the product (which I didn’t do with Kachela)

I had a similar situation occur. I accepted an amount of “free” product as compensation. I also started splitting my order between two vendors after that.

I just received notice that my shipment of 90 1mg tablets of Sirolimus has been seized. I ordered it from India. I ordered Cynoplus and Cynomel from mexipharmacy.mx that I received.

Has anyone here had a similar experience?

Are there no avenues to receive my package?

It’s not like its some huge loss ($101).

From what I have read on this board it seems like there is no recourse.

Well I gave it a shot.

Hopefully RFK Jr. will radically alter this useless, captured agency.

Hi Tom and welcome to our forums. Much to my surprise some people have had success getting their shipment; see this post:

FDA-Customs detention

@Alex: I thought the lore was 300 pill limit. @RapAdmin: oaklandgrrl has apparently been successful, as she posted in Aug. 2023: “My provider gave me an update with this info. I then received a letter from customs that my package would be destroyed, but that I could petition to have it released, which I did. I wrote the FDA arguing that the contents of the package fell within the “personal importation” per 21 USC 384(j). I absolutely did not expect any response, however, a representative of the FDA responded and ultimately agreed to release the package for delivery but expressly did not accept the argument as the package branding was insufficient in that it did not identify the contents with an RX meaning prescription meds. Last week I received the package 1.5 months later.”

I just placed an order with Maulik today. He refused to send more than 900 pills as he said customs activity is getting more strict recently.

Has anyone else had problems recently?

[AgentSmith]

There are two larger vendors that had to start routing shipments through the Middle East a few months ago because of an increase in seizures. Some have had to get up to 2 reships to get their meds.

Hi RapAdmin,

Thank you for your response. I will petition to have it released also. I wanted to upload the FDA letter to the board but I can’t figure out how to do it.

I will report on any further developments in trying to get my shipment.

I think it is random. My last 2 shipments each had items with 500 pills of the same, and in total >1500 pills. They made it through.

One of my patients feels his address is flagged and just send to another address and it went through fine. Random or not, might be an approach if have a seizure.

One thing that could be asked from the new government in the USA is to formally agree personal importation for personal use (including the family). Those are the rules in the UK and I am not aware of any problem with those rules.
