I'm super paranoid about getting my order taken by customs and losing my Global Entry. Has anyone had good luck with those gray market vendors claiming to ship from a US warehouse? I'm thinking of just sticking with domestic resellers, even though they're pricier, but cheaper than going to a compounding pharmacy.
 
If you're dealing with a real vendor and not a scammer, the US warehouse thing is usually on the level. Shipping is cheaper and faster. I've only done it once, but it was a good experience.
 
Just FYI, one of my vendors actually gave me a list showing what they had in stock at both of their US warehouses. Losing my TSA PreCheck is a big worry for me, so I get it.
 
The reviews usually give it away. Check the vendor's reviews here or on their Discord/Telegram. If people are getting their stuff in a few days, it's domestic. If it takes longer, it might be coming from somewhere else.
 
US "warehouses" are a thing, but it's not a sure thing. I ordered from a US warehouse once, and it still shipped from China. Now I always specify that if the US warehouse is out of stock, to either wait for a restock or just cancel the order.
 
How risky is it to order from overseas? I've been thinking about it because the US warehouses seem to be out of everything.
 
If customs seizes your order, they can revoke your TSA PreCheck or Global Entry. That's a major problem for me as I hate waiting in airport lines.
 
I just got an order from a US warehouse. Paid with Venmo. Shipping was really fast. Worth the extra cost.
 
Do your homework by checking reviews. The US warehouses are legit. I've used a few vendors that ship from within the US. Make sure they confirm it's actually in stock and that they only ship from the US. Price depends on what you're ordering, but I've actually found it cheaper than ordering from overseas with lower shipping costs.
 
I started this in January and have ordered twice from a vendor with a US warehouse. Both times it took around 6 days from payment to delivery. I'm very happy with that. The vendor's Discord chat is a HUGE help for getting updates and reassurance.
 
I've ordered twice from the same vendor's US warehouse, and both times I got my order in a few days. No complaints.
 
Shipping from China to the US has been a real headache for over a month now. It's so unpredictable. Using a US warehouse looks like the best option. The sellers with US warehouses I've looked at make you specify which warehouse to use, and the prices are different from their Chinese warehouses, so I doubt they'd ship from China.
