23 days to Spain with working tracking the whole way is at the good end of what i have seen

the parcel is the risk you accepted. that is worth remembering before it becomes a crisis

a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that the vial cooked. lyophilised powder is robust, ymmv

thats a stock split

order in winter

split shipments arriving weeks apart is normal and is usually a stock thing, not a customs thing

the same address every time is fine. a different address every time looks worse, not better

courier or postal service, which has been better for Japan

a port stall is not the same as a customs hold and the tracking language usually distinguishes them, from memory
