I doubt sketchy seed or plant orders on Amazon follow any sort of proper protocols.

Amazon should not allow these, but are shamelessly callous towards any external risk. A pest coming in on seeds or plant matter can easy become a multi billion dollar agricultural problem.

There is no way anyone should be able to order bootleg plant material with a clean conscience. You save a couple bucks yourself but in the process buy a mega-billions anti-lottery ticket for everyone else.
