Do NOT buy from Evolution Gaming Store

Avoid purchasing anything from Evolution Gaming Store (Elk Grove, CA). These guys are amateurs, and maybe worse.

So here's the story:
I preordered a set of C13 on 18 October and got the confirmation email. The product was supposed to ship on 1 November, but didn't. I had to email the store on 7 November after waiting a week for a shipping email, and they told me they didn't have enough stock to fill every order (red flag: business allows orders to outnumber stock). They promised to ship once more was stocked.

The store failed to return my subsequent emails asking for updates on their shipments. I am currently filing a dispute through my credit card company just to get a refund because they haven't responded to my order cancellation request.

Apparently others have been having similar problems, especially regarding preorders. It makes me wonder whether they're trying to scam players out of their orders. Do yourselves a favor and stay away from this store.

Damn looks like they shut down all online interactions. Their websites all but nonexistent now, even their phone number isn't in service. You guys know of any other way to contact them (apart from actually going to CA and marching into their store)?
