the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better
coming back to this nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you live and the mods stop that conversation quickly
14 days to Canada with working tracking the whole way is at the good end of what i have seen
the transit table is pinned and built from what members actually reported, not from what suppliers quote

a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust
the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis
*that should say weekly
