Debian, the project, and SPI, the non-profit legal body behind it, do not distribute boxed versions of Debian GNU/Linux for themselves. The list of vendors is entirely for the benefit of those vendors. So, if some vendors behave badly - and in your case, that really sounds quite bad, it certainly is in the interest of the Debian project to unlist that vendor from the Debian web pages. A google search (aacds site:debian.org) didn't turn up anything else about this vendor. Do you know other people who bought Debian from this shop? Also: after you have contacted them, you should probably contact this list again and tell how they reacted.
