but the USPS doesn't fine comb all the parcels coming into the country.

When my drugs were on patent, I got them from a reputable Canadian pharmacy.

The procedure is to fill out a health questionnaire online, order your medications, mail or fax your prescription from a US doctor, then wait 2-3 weeks for the first delivery. What happens up there is that a Canadian physician reviews your health questionnaire and rewrites your prescription. Then your medications are sent out.

You can't order Schedule II drugs like benzodiazepines or painkillers. You can order anything else.
