Help Difficulty obtaining SN through USA reshipping service. Any alternatives / help?

[mbrox]

I ordered SN from USA and sent it to a reshipping address to then be sent to Australia. I did this twice using two different reshipping services and two different SN products. Both times the reshipper noticed I was ordering SN and refused to ship it to Australia.

Is there anything else I can do? Are there reshipping services that rarely check package contents? Is there maybe some sneaky way to order SN from business suppliers as a regular customer? I remember a guy telling me he set up a fake vet business to purchase needles cheaply (or something like that, this was a long time ago)

Did they cancel the reshipping order because they noticed it was SN or because it was a chemical product? I think it's the latter since to send to you they re-package it thus finding out you are sending through them a chemical substance.

Have you tried buying it from Malaysia or neighbour countries?

One reshipper says "We are unable to process your package as it contains product(s) that are either dangerous, damaged or prohibited for import to Australia Kindly call our Customer Contact Centre". I'll have to contact them but I'm pretty sure that means they will not send it into the country at all.

The second reshipper says "This package requires special shipping and/or handling. If we have not already reached out to you, please contact us" so maybe they'll repackage it and send it if I contact them but I really doubt it. Will give them a call tomorrow

I haven't. Maybe I'll look into it tomorrow but nobody else has mentioned buying from those countries here so I'm not super hopeful

Did you know the Chemical Company that goes by the initial LW has a website where you can order it directly. I just checked and they ship internationally

Not OP. They don't ship to all countries though. They don't ship in mine

While they do offer to ship internationally, they will only ship SN domestically (within the USA). This is likely to do with the fact that SN is classified as Class 5 Dangerous Goods and it would be a hassle to deliver by air. Even in the case of countries sharing a land border with the USA, they will not ship SN. It is a shame because I rather like that specific source.

Yep my bad I checked it myself they don't. :(
