I thought that at first so.

The From column shows Batterybuyers.com Ltd

When I open the email the From reads
Ural Motorcycles<tracking at shipstation.com>
tracking at shipstation.com is sending the email for  Ural 

Their actual email is orders at imz-ural.com

Batterybuyers.com Ltd is an entirely different business.

I check this email in Thunderbird and the correspondent as they call it
there is Ural Motorcycles.

I have had this happen a few times since I installed Linux Mint.
