NWT Mint They took my money and haven't delivered - nearly 6 months Federal Way Washington

I've dealt with this company many times since 2008 and was accustomed to excessive delays, but eventually did receive the ordered products. 

In September 2015, my wife and I placed an order and paid by credit card.  At the time of order, delivery was estimated to be 6 - 8 weeks.  In December, they informed us that there would be delays and this repeated in January, February and March.  In early March, they told us the order would be shipped in the first week of April and instructed us to call to confirm in April.  Yesterday, April 1, my wife called again and the order was still on hold - that, in fact, everything had been suspended. 

This made me very uneasy and this morning we called the credit card issuer to find out what they could do to reverse the charges.  Their policy limits that action to 120 days, even if the product wasn't delivered.  When the credit card company checked their information on NWT Mint, they tell us that as of April 1 NWT Mint is now under BANCRUPTCY PROTECTION.  That is not good news, and I fear we have lost our $3,000+
