I'm wondering what countries have low seizure rates right now. I would like to purchase some Nurofen Plus, but I'm reading about so many seizures from Australia. Thanks very much!

Any European country seems to be at a far lesser risk of being "looked at" by the Bad Men..... try Gigapharma.

I think Mexican IOP's are the sh** because they usually get the stuff into the US and THEN ship it to you, avoiding Customs. I've had great luck with that.

Well, there may not be a "best" as these things change rapidly and a lot of customs seizures are simply based on random searches and/or suspicious looking packages.
However, quite obviously, I can tell you the worst countries to order from would be Pakistan or any similar country with which the U.S. currently is watching closely for terrorism reasons.
There is a poll on this topic (which countries have you had meds seized from) in the poll section on DB and although the responses are fairly low, there doesn't seem to be any obvious country or countries that stand out as better than any others.
I also think it has a lot to do with how the IOP ships. Things that reduce seizure risks include shipping in small quantities (breaking up large orders), not listing any kind of a return address that would indicate a pharmacy, and not listing "meds" on the customs declaration form.
A final note (and I heard this elsewhere as well) is that I find it interesting that Australia of all places is one of the countries that has high seizure rates for meds. It certainly isnt a country we would expect much terrorist activity from. Also, there aren't even that many IOP's based there (at least compared to India, Europe, and Mexico) selling controlled substances (which are the only meds that will be seized by customs)....

I stopped ordering from IOPs, but I never had a seizure when ordering N+ from New Zealand. Always had my order in 8-10 days, used the same pharmacy. I believe its just bad luck, bad packaging, and the 'wrong' country, in that order, if you have a seizure.

I agree entirely. I will only order from a European pharmacy, because I'm in Europe. My order from Giga came through perfectly - jiffy bag, no rattle, could have been a present from a friend! No indications whatsoever on the outside that it contained meds.

I ordered twice from New Zealand and recieved my ordered both times.
