Question about shipping

So, I live in the US, and last year, I purchased seeds from two online retailers in three separate transactions for delivery to a US state...The packages I received appeared to be shipped from foreign destinations, as expected.

This year, I ordered twice from one of the same retailers, and each time, the packages came by USPO from a return address in a US state.

I am wondering if anyone knows how mail order seeds actually work. Each purchase shows a cryptic description on my credit card statement, and while I think it's cool to buy locally, I was just wondering how the system works and stays ahead of regulations.
 
I know a few seed banks are shipping bulk orders to hubs in the USA

I also know many CC are having issues with overseas companies

I've personally been hit with fraud on my CC on 3 different orders, all a major seedbank. So lots of CC challenges and chances with over seas orders
I use bank transfer or similar now
