Is ChessStore.Com still in business?

a while back, I purchased this set of pieces: 

https://thechessstore.com/bridled-stallion-staunton-chess-set-in-red-sandalwood-boxwood-4-75-king/

 

Somehow over the years, I have lost one white pawn and one black pawn.   I have emailed them 3 times to see if I can purchase the pieces individually and they have never replied.   They want about $750 for a new set.  I only remember paying about $250-300 back in 2011.  Does anyone know if they are still around?   Does anyone know of a way to replace these 2 pawns?   For now I am using 2 pawns from a similar set... they are a little smaller and not the same shade but it works.   Thank you for your time.

I actually called them just now, as opposed to email, and they think they may be able to help.   I will keep you posted happy.png

I have got a few things from The Chess Store this year, one within a couple of weeks ago. Their customer service is lacking a little, but my shipments seem to come right on time. They don't always answer emails or phone calls though.

TCS is bad about answering e-mails, in my experience.

Crappov that set loos like mine, is that the Bridled Knight set?  

 

Just an update, I called them shortly after I wrote the original post and I was indeed able to order a replacement white and black pawn.  They took care of me.  Very happy!

Hello, vulcanccit.  

I think the set posted by Brioma33 is a plastic set, the Zukert.

What color is that board and chess set? did you purchase both at the chess store?

Brioma33

Both were purchased at The Chess Store, but I think those color pieces are discontinued. 

 

The vinyl board; https://thechessstore.com/club-vinyl-rollup-chess-board-brown-buff-2-375-squares/

 

the same pieces but in black; https://thechessstore.com/zukert-plastic-chess-set-black-camel-pieces-4-25-king/

 It's good news that it's still in business. From my own experience, I can say that problems of a different nature can arise. I found offshore company formation services that could help with the decision https://astra-trust.com/offshore-company-formation-services/ It assists me in opening bank accounts and making financial decisions as well. It's the most important issue to me, and I would rather seek professional assistance.
