I've only ever ordered domestic, so my answer probably doesn't mean very much, but from what I read, it seems like there is a relatively high failure rate from Netherlands to almost anywhere, particularly the USA. I've always stayed away for that reason despite some listings I was interested in.

I'm curious to hear from people who have actually tried it as well.

Don't know about these days, but 2003-2006 I got quite a few packages from Amsterdam, some very poorly packaged, all of them made it through. I understand customs has tightened up quite a bit on packages from NL.

I've only made one purchase from the NL and it just happened to not show up.
I'm pretty sure customs got a hold of it. I would definitely stick to purchasing from
vendors from safer countries. All of my orders have been coming out of Germany and
I've received all of them so far. Then again, when it comes to SR, you win some, you lose some.

Good luck with all your purchases.

Psychoknot speaks truth: when ordering from a domestic source the chances of an intercepted product are almost nil, even with poorly packaged product. I've had probably 800-900 domestic packages sent to me over the years without a single lost package, while generally overseas products 1 in 5 were lost, even those with completely legit contents.

I've personally always avoided ordering anything from Amsterdam as in my mind (notice my personal opinion) I just assume that it will be submitted to extra scrutiny or possibly have my address flagged. What are you thinking about ordering? I may be able to help you choose another vendor.

I had a few orders from the NL come through last year, but the last order from there was seized, and I got a love letter from the Chicago CBP.

Yeah, what everyone else said. Stuff from NL has a high stoppage rate by customs, and even the FDA. I would not order from there. Interestingly, Belgium, right next door, seems to relatively safe to order from. I prefer not to order from overseas at all, but sometimes, you can't find what you want domestically, at all.

From what I've heard from others, successful delivery can be pretty spotty. That said, I just placed an order from the NL. I'll keep you posted.
