Valid being scared of ordering outside of my country?

I live in a smallish country in Europe and I am scared of ordering stuff from germany/netherlands/UK,etc.

In my country there are 2 vendors, with them I get the product the next day but the price is higher and the quality may not be as good as with the others, is it still worth it or are the shipping times/chance of interception almost the same that I shouldn't worry about that at all.?

The "correct" answer always depends on your local jurisdiction and your level of aversion to risks

What is your freedom worth to you? Probably more than the price difference and for some jurisdictions such as Australia, proper stealth and odour controlled domestic post is relatively low risk whereas anything coming from OS goes through all sorts of cunning screening.

I'm in the US and I don't order from other countries. Just don't like that it opens me up to more scrutiny. Once I accidentally ordered from the U.K. and all was fine but I was stressing until it arrived (which also took a while naturally). I'd say if you have good options stick with them, but only two isn't much so I can see why you'd wanna look elsewhere. Maybe have to do some research on how your country handles international mail.
