Shipping to United States
Most domestic vendors ship 2–5 business days via USPS or UPS. Prescription compounds (modafinil, armodafinil) require a US prescription; international ordering of scheduled substances is a federal-level enforcement issue.
Customs and import notes
US Customs and Border Protection routinely intercepts unscheduled bulk powders from overseas vendors, particularly racetams in larger quantities. Personal-use quantities of clearly-labelled supplements from regulated jurisdictions generally clear without issue. Schedule IV substances (modafinil) imported without prescription face seizure and potential controlled-substances enforcement.
Import responsibility: You, not the vendor, are responsible for ensuring that the substance you order can legally enter United States. Vendors typically state their shipping policy but cannot guarantee customs clearance in every jurisdiction; refunds for seized parcels are rare. If you have any doubt about Modafinil’s status in United States, do not order until you have verified with a pharmacist, customs broker, or qualified clinician.
Modafinil vendors that ship to United States
None of the vendors we list for Modafinil are currently on our verified-to-ship-to-United States whitelist.
This may mean (a) the substance is legally restricted in United States and our listed vendors do not ship there; (b) vendors do ship but we have not verified for this country; (c) you may be best served by a United States-domestic supplier.
Prices in USD
Prices in our vendor table are shown in USD. To convert to USD ($), use the live FX rate at checkout, vendors typically charge in their local currency and let your card handle conversion, or in USD directly if the vendor maintains a United States storefront.
For shipments from outside United States, factor in (a) shipping cost (commonly USD 10–25 international standard or USD 25–55 express), (b) customs VAT/duty (commonly applied above a national de-minimis threshold), and (c) any payment-network FX margin. The cheapest sticker price in the table is rarely the cheapest landed cost once these are added.
