Getting really sick and tired of visiting the local clinic for a silly one week supply of sleep meds which are of such low strength not even my kid could nap on them. Nor do I wanna bother with going to the psychiatric clinic for such a thing.

Have friends in the States who order their meds online from the UK or Canada and it arrives no problem - even without a prescription. Customs don't seem to care about it. And the prices are quite reasonable too.

I wonder about ordering to South Korea? Anybody ever tried to order something from an online pharmacy and have it arrive without Customs seizing it? If a prescription signed by a doctor was included within the package, would it make any difference? I heard Customs X-rays EVERYTHING that enters the country, could that be true?

PM me if you want....

Don't count on it. I ordered something from http://www.iherb.com/ recently (not prescription medication). I used my school's address and phone number when ordering. A few days ago, I came to work and a Korean coworker told me-

"A lady from Korean Customs called us. She said a product from America has arrived for you. She wanted to know your passport number. She said she would call back later today and talk to you."

She never called back, and I still haven't received what I ordered.
