The only thing that interested me in their breeds offered for sale were the Austra Whites. But after I saw the tripled prices I absolutely crossed California Hatchery off my list. For example, Black Copper Marans $29.99, which I'm sure is cheap for show quality birds, but not what I'd expect to pay for my future backyard flock.
I love the "About Us" section of the website - "We love to talk! We're not afraid to talk to you." But as BrewMonkey pointed out there's nothing that indicates who they are. Even with online shopping, I like to put a name and face with a service provider - especially one that is selling living creatures. Show me some photos of your operation and how you handle your chicks and I might be willing to pay a little more.
