Package "held for clearance"

Hey folks. I ordered 20 x 150mg worth of Tramadol. It's travelling from India to New Zealand. I ordered the package on the 17th of December. According to the tracking, it's "held for clearance" and has been since the 30th of December.

I've since disputed the trade because it was near AFing and can receive a refund albeit I kinda want my Tramadol. I've received no notice from customs thus far -- as I said it's been a week since it's been held for clearance. Is there still a chance of receiving my goods or should I just opt for the refund? Cheers

This may be a stupid question, but people actually buy Tramadol on the DNM? Isn't that just a non-narcotic prescription pill for pain, like an anti inflammatory?

I believe I still have a few bottles of 50mg Tramadol HCL scattered around my house, doctors seem to just give them out on request like candy since they're non narcotic. I've never taken a handful of them but from the doses I have taken I don't remember the slightest buzz, euphoria, or high from it.

This is in the US though, I noticed OP was ordering his to New Zealand. If we're thinking of the same drug, perhaps it's just a difficult thing to acquire out there?

That's not good. I feel like I'm already talking to a prisoner.

You know you can get tramadol on the clearnet legit right? I mean, kind of legit with one of those script mill doctors but still they ship it overnight to your door.
