I've never heard of them, but it is easy enough to do some simple research. Let's start with a whois on the domain. The email info all points to the cajuncare.com domain - another web store also registered to charles perron of LA. No address is given (not usually a good sign as it means they have no storefront and are more likely a "flight-by-night" operation). The phone number listed on the contact page of the store is in the LA area code. However, they say sales tax is charged only to California residents. That tends to suggest either a college student out of state using his old cell phone, or an outsourced drop & ship operation where it is just a store front for marketing purposes and all the actual work is performed by a back office vendor. In either case, it again suggests less stability within the business.
That said, the domain was registered in 2001 so it isn't brand new. Using the Internet Archive (and anyone who doesn't know about the "wayback machine" should visit
http://www.archive.org/web/web.php where you can see old versions of your favorite pages - it is an archive of the entire Internet - too cool!) you can see their old pages. Sure enough they were in business in 2001 with a fairly rudimentary setup.
The phone number they list has changed, yet the Better Business Bureau has no records of them associated with the new number, the old one, or the URL - likely a good thing as it means no one has ever complained about them.
All-in-all, I am not exactly filled with confidence but there is nothing to suggest they are disreputable. There doesn't seem to be a lot to the business, but they have at least been around for several years. Good Luck!
