"inbound to customs" means it's not in customs yet, typically it'll clear customs in minutes, it'll look like this:

Ive had them sit inbound and in customs for days to a week or more, 3.5 weeks from ship to delivery...relax.

Vince · Mar 12, 2017

I agree, it's not a big deal. I had one package of Tadalafil opened and inspected. They okayed it and sent it on it's way to my place.

If for any reason Customs seizes a package you will get a letter from them in the mail and it's just a generic legal ease form letter they use.

Cliff Notes version is you have 30 days to respond in order to redeem the package via due process or they destroy it and that's it no further interaction will occur.

And that's why I like doing business with ADC, they guarantee the shipment and if that would ever happen they will replace it free of charge.

Usually nothing. They send you what I like to call a "love letter." LOL Now if you are importing raw steroid powder from China you are going to jail. Don't ever, ever do this.

For personal use 90 supply of things like Viagra and ancillaries you are not going to get in trouble. Just take it as a loss or get the original sender to resend, like w/ ADC. Don't go there with your love letter to try and get your goods.

I ordered some Viagra recently, and when I picked it up from Fed Ex it had a sticker on it saying customs had opened and inspected the package.

This, and long wait times are why getting from a domestic source is always the preferred way to shop.

My latest ADC order arrived today, it was ordered on the 10th of this month and spent 7 days in Customs so total of 15 days order to delivery.

One thing I like about ADC is they overwrap the shipping box(s) with wide clear packing tape over the shipping labels and customs declaration label of personal medication supply so you'll know 100% if anyone has opened the package as the tape would have to be cut to open the box.

As with all my previous orders nothing was opened or inspected, and as an added bonus they are shipping Ceebis 20mg now with expiration labels of 06/19.

SO if they open the package there is no way they will reseal and send it to you once they see Indian generics inside?

Was it more than a 90 day supply and they okayed it?

Vince Carter · Jul 23, 2018

Matters in the quantities if it looks like an amount for personal use or more than that that could appear to be for resale/trafficking/etc etc the days of supply isn't quite a factor.

qr25de · Jul 25, 2018

interesting thanks

Yes it was more than a 90 day supply. The last two times I've ordered a supply bigger than 90 days they sent it in two packages. Maybe that way avoids inspection?

I recently ordered from ADC. I received a tracking number and it says it is shipping from Singapore?

Guess even India sources from a China. Bummer. Not sure I will take it now. Lots of bad things can be found in Chinese sourced products...heavy metals, dangerous chemicals, etc.

fifty · Oct 20, 2018

Singapore is a long way from China.

BigBamBoo · Oct 21, 2018

Yes, but do you think they are mfg in Singapore? And if so....would you trust them?
I am guessing they are sourcing from China.

My point is I thought I was ordering from India.

ADC is part of a couple online storefronts that all service a central warehouse distributor in India that is licensed under the name of Derric Wood.

All legit orders from ADC and their other websites will all have a USPS tracking number for EMS mail with the the prefix ED-XXXXXXXXXXXX and will ship from the following address in India.

Derric Wood
Unit No. 702,703,704 Gopal Heights
7th Floor, Plot No D-9
Netaji Subhash Place, Pitampura
Delhi-110034 (India)

If you scroll to the bottom of ADC's homepage you'll find this:

Please note that not all medications, including any referenced on this page, are dispensed from our affiliated Indian pharmacy. The medications in your order may be filled and shipped from an approved International fulfilment center located in a country other than India. In addition to dispensing medications from our Indian pharmacy, medication orders are also filled and shipped from international fulfilment centers that are approved by the regulatory bodies from their respective countries.

Medication orders are filled and shipped from approved fulfilment centers around the world including, but not limited to, India, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Mauritius and the United States. The items in your order may be filled and shipped from any one of the above jurisdictions. The products are sourced from various countries as well as those listed above. All of our affiliated fulfilment centers have been approved by the regulatory bodies from their respective countries.

ADC does not ship anything to the states that doesn't come from an Indian based manufacturer with in house USFDA inspections. The vast majority of all your generics dispensed in the US come from Cipla, Copper, Ajanta etc. all located in India with regular inspections performed by USFDA personnel.

As an example, if your an Advair user in the States (Advair is made by GSK in the US) and also made by GSK several other places in the world and relabeled as Seretide Diskus (UK, Turkey) you can order it from ADC and it is sourced from their regional GSK supplier.

If you lived anywhere else in the world outside the US or UK and ordered it from ADC they would ship it from Turkey as it's cheapest to produce at that location.

If you live in the states and order from ADC or an affiliate it will ship from India.

So what you are saying is, I did not order from ADC..I.e. a scam site since it is shipping from Singapore?

It looks like ADC is now shipping to the West coast of the states from a distribution center in Singapore, and they may be using the Singapore hub to ship replacement orders that come up missing that were originally routed through New York or Chicago.

For USPS tracking numbers that start with the prefix *ED* those are coming out of India and tracking with the prefix *LT* is going to be shipped from Singapore.

Looks like this is a new method of shipping for them, have found some credible info from people that have received ADC orders in the states sent from Singapore starting in October of 2018.

Meds are all the same, seems they are just warehousing them now at an additional location in Singapore so no worries at this point if your getting shipping confirmations outside of India.
