You're once again confusing Customs with LE / DEA. Customs is responsible for preventing illegal substances from entering the country, full stop.
Law enforcement does engage in controlled delivery, but it is absolutely not the norm. Typical practice is that an undercover officer (posing as a mail carrier) gets you to accept the package, they wait a few hours while surveiling your dwelling to give you time to dig in, and then they bust you.
If you got a package missing a vial, and it's been a month and the cops haven't showed up, it's a million to one that Customs simply didn't run a test that proved the contents of the missing vial were illegal.
The only other possible explanation is that they're working on a huge bust (presumably because you're part of a distribution organization). But in that case, they'd be going to pains to make sure you (and your partners) weren't aware they'd been intercepting packages. Missing vials would be very stupid in that context.
It seems postal inspection is moving away from controlled delivery and trying to get you to come into the post office to get the package. You call up asking about the package and then they give you a phone number. That's postal inspection and they'll set you up to come at a certain time.
