My order was with Kachhela Medix, 1st booked 4/6/24 in Mumbai. Here is the tracking message I’ve been receiving since the 8th:
USPS
2024-04-08 15:54Origin Post is Preparing Shipment → We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece.
When I asked Anil about this, his response: “Slow service”
Right, don’t worry just yet. I have often seen USPS tracking go into limbo. Then suddenly my package is in the U.S. I think that is because there are some intermediate carriers from India to the U.S. A previous deep dive into shipping from India to the U.S., is that it is not shipped directly, but takes a route through Europe. During this time USPS does not track the shipment.

My general advice is; NOT TO WORRY until at least 30 days have passed.
I have made over two dozen transactions with various India suppliers and not one has failed to deliver. There were 3 significant delays, involving the Indian holidays and an EMS temporary shutdown.

NOT TO WORRY
Agreed. And even at 30 days, be patient. My range thus far is 22-41 days, have had 5 shipments, and all arrived in perfect condition.

Hi, welcome to the forums. It seems hit and miss (that is, highly variable) in terms of getting orders into Australia. See these past discussions:

Hi Sarah,
I’m Australian and have ordered and received a few times from India. My last couple of orders have been from Apple Pharmaceuticals of Mumbai. Prices are reasonable and delivery was prompt.
Good luck.

I just got two quotes for 1mg Rapacan from separate suppliers in India.
I regularly order from Welcome Healthcare via Dipesh Chhajed and have had no issues with using him. He recently quoted me for 100 tablets of 1mg Rapacan @ 125 USD with a EMS shipping charge of 45 USD.
I decided to ask Maulik Parekh for a quote as I had heard good things about him recently and he quoted me 300 tablets of 1mg Rapacan @ 180 USD, with a shipping fee of 25 USD.
When I came back to Welcome Healthcare in regards to the differences in pricing he told me that some people give discounted prices but may not send the stocks or the stocks are near expiration.
I decided to give Maulik a shot(especially with the price for that many tablets) with my latest order and it is currently on the way. I will update this post once I have received them and if I had any issues.

There’s a couple of different Rapacan Rapamycins out there - Biocon and Eris. I’m assuming they’re made by different companies but marketed through Rapacan. Biocon is great. Do we know if Eris lives up to it’s predecessor or is it a Siroboon?
I just ordered for him and he quoted me 300 tablets of 1mg Rapacan @ 180 USD, with a shipping fee of 25 USD.

I think that means many Indian drugs that were formerly produced by Biocon will now be produced by Eris. Not sure if that means changes to the manufacturing process but let’s hope Rapacan’s as good as it’s always been.

This is simply not true as far as Maulik is concerned. He shipped the freshest products I have received yet from India, with expiration dated in mid-2026.
Fresher than anything I have received from Jagdish.
This however was for something other than rapamycin. I would be interested in the rapamycin expiration date on the order you receive. Please share.

I think that Maulik probably is not able to use Wise is because he is a newer business.
Wise:
“How to verify your Indian business to receive payments
We’re temporarily unable to onboard new businesses in India. This is so that we can improve the experience for all Indian business customers. We’re working hard on bringing this back — start registering your business to join the waitlist.”
Looks like a little BS from Wise.

I just yesterday (7/12) received (from India) Biocon Rapacan from Maulik. I paid their partner company in the UK using Wise on 6/28.

I used paypal for my order
Does Malek now use PayPal?
I didn’t see that option when he replied to me.
I used Visa with a 15% surcharge.

Just received my most recent order from Maulik:
Rapacan 500 1mg pills - 300$ (60 cents per pill)
rosuvastatin 10 mg 150 pills - 22$
Shipping - 25$
Total - 347$
Plus my $15 international wire fee charged by Schwab
It was a lot of pills (the most I have ever ordered), so he removed the rapa strips from the boxes.
I was a little worried when USPS tracking posted this message:
Held in Customs

I had never seen that before! But, it was in USPS hands the next day.
Here is the packing box:
btw- I’ve pinged him to see if he is now accepting Wise…

Update:
Just received my shipment. Took about week arrive.
No issues with expiration date or anything( mine will expire Mar 2026 and were formulated on Apr 2024). He was very easy to use, and the fastest/cheapest I have seen so far in my experience.
