I don't think it's odd. It seems straight from a B-grade medical thriller/horror movie.

That last bit was important. You need to order microbes, especially pathogens, through a lab, institute or university protocol. You can`t just buy stuff to use in your research, it has to be proper, with a written consent and some other items. Also for the top tiers of infection agents, you`re supposed to provide proof of how each vial or batch was thoroughly used and dispatched. Live vials can`t just be lost. Also, word spreads fast if you work with pathogens, and you`re on a watchlist if deemed untrustworthy and subjected to body searches to prevent exfil events. On top of that, there are places that, if an order seems suspicious, will ask the provided institution for confirmation of the order, and if it`s a fake order from impersonators, the shipment will contain a shitty dead yeast to make sure the live pathogens wouldn`t be successfully used in malicious events because shipping fake stuff is better than not shipping anything at all.

There are similar websites where you can buy small amounts of controlled drugs like methamphetamine for the purposes of calibrating testing machines. The samples are tiny though, like under 1 milligram. I got as far as adding meth, PCP and heroin to my basket and clicking checkout but stopped there.
