We are so sorry for the delay. For those who haven't heard, we just had a major move for the store and we are working as hard as we can to get everything unboxed and ready to ship. We're hoping to start shipping the next round of Paladin Mystery boxes in the next couple of weeks and to have all the boxes out to fans no later than the holiday season.
As for the books, we are shipping volumes 3 & 4 together, as we did the first two. But we won't be shipping those until after all the Menyon boxes are out to backers. The ebooks won't be sent out until we begin shipping the physical books. We are hoping that will be at the first of the 2024 year. Once we get those two volumes out to everyone, then we will do Volume 5.
We deeply appreciate everyone's patience as this endeavor has been much larger than we ever anticipated and we have learned so much while completing it.
If you have any questions or need to update your shipping information, please contact us directly: [email protected] If you want to check your order, please do so here: https://acheron.backerkit.com/
Again, we appreciate your patience.
Thanks so much!

Yay! All the boxes for the first round of books (Vols 1 & 2) are out and heading toward our backers!!
Please give us ten days to do DragonCon and return, then we'll get started on sending out all the Paladin mystery boxes for the rest of the year. We're hoping by then that Vols 3 & 4 will be arriving and we'll get started on shipping those out. We'll let everyone know once we receive those and start packing & shipping them.
For those who ordered only Volume 5, please note that Vols 3 & 4 will ship before we do 5. Those are slated to ship in 2024.
For those who want to order and missed the Kickstarter campaign, we do have a few left over. You can order them here: https://acheron.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Again, we'll keep everyone posted.
Thanks!

First, let us start off by saying how much we love and adore our readers and backers. You guys have been awesome and we really appreciate you and your patience as we fulfill your orders.
We know it's August and we are still very busy shipping books. We have just under 2000 orders left to ship out of volumes 1 & 2. Please bear with us as we do our best to fulfill all orders as fast as we can. Please note that we shipped the older orders and those who backed the campaign first.
If you have not received an email about your shipment, then you're one of the 2000 we are doing our best to fulfill. We're sorry it's taking so long, but know that we are working long hours, 7 days a week to get them out. For those who want an idea of what we're dealing with, please see the video made when HALF the books arrived https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shadowqueen/acheron-and-styxx-house-of-didymos/posts/3820355
Each book has to be opened and hand signed, checked, then very carefully rewrapped before it can be shipped to the backer so that the books will arrive undamaged. It's been rainy and on rainy days, we cannot go to the post office as there's no way to pack the car without books getting wet and we don't want to risk damaging them.
But please be assured that we are doing our very best to get your books to you just as fast as we can. Thousands and thousands of orders have already been filled, and as I said, we are down to the last 2000. Our goal is to get all volumes 1 & 2 out the door before DragonCon as we won't be able to ship at all during that event. Fingers crossed we make it. But again, if we don't, we will not be able to ship books from Aug 30-Sept 5.
For those with ebook orders, you can find your download links here: https://acheron.backerkit.com/ All of those were fulfilled months ago. Directions for ebooks are found here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shadowqueen/acheron-and-styxx-house-of-didymos/posts/3801214
If you ordered books and other items, please note that the tracking number you receive or received in the past may not be for the books. It might be for other items. To see what has been ordered and what has been shipped, please check your orders here: https://acheron.backerkit.com/
The one BIG exception to using the portal: Address Changes. If you need to change your address, please do no use the portal to do so. Please contact us ASAP staff@mightybarnacle. com and let us know what your new address is.
Once we get all the first two volumes shipped, we will then ship out the remaining boxes. Once all the mystery Paladin boxes are shipped, we will begin shipping volumes 3 & 4.
After 3 & 4 ship, we will then begin shipping volume 5. We do not have a projected schedule at this time. But please be aware that we will let everyone know when the last of volumes 1 & 2 ship, when we ship the last of the mystery Paladin boxes, and when we begin and finish shipping volumes 3 & 4. As well we when we begin shipping volume 5.
We are still asking for backers to check their orders through their portal https://acheron.backerkit.com/ before they contact us. Most questions can be answered by visiting the portal, especially if the question is in regard to what has been ordered, if it's been shipped, your address, and ebook downloads. We really appreciate your help with this as a single email can take us up to an hour to research.
Please remember that we will post updates here on Kickstarter the first week of the month. If we are a little late, such as this coming September when we will all be at DragonCon, know that we will post as soon as we're back. If no update is posted, please read the previous update. We promise that we will let everyone know as soon as we can when something changes.
For those who are asking, we do still have some items available for order: https://acheron.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Again, we thank you so much for your patience. We know everyone is eager to get their items and we are very eager to get them into your hands.
Thanks so much,
Sherri, Sheri, Jake, Kim et al

Happy 4th to all of our US backers!
We wanted to keep everyone updated. We are still signing, packaging and shipping Volumes 1 & 2 as fast as possible.
Once we get all the orders out, we will begin fulfilling the Paladin Mystery boxes again. Once we've caught up with the Paladin boxes, we will begin shipping the next volume of books.
We are so sorry for the delays. But we are working long hours, all week long, trying our best to get the books into everyone's eager hands and we deeply appreciate your patience.
If anyone needs to check their order or status, please visit: https://acheron.backerkit.com
If you'd like to add to your purchase or if you missed the campaign, you can still get some items: https://acheron.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
If you have any questions (and if it's about your order, please use the links above to check there first and keep in mind if you have no tracking information, it simply means we have no processed your order yet), please contact [email protected]
Again, thank you for your patience.

Book update
over 3 years ago

We’re wanting to keep everyone updated as we know exactly how eager everyone is to get their books, and we appreciate that. We are still filling the book orders as fast as we can. In terms of that, nothing has changed. If you want to see more, please check out our previous update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shadowqueen/acheron-and-styxx-house-of-didymos/posts/3820355
If you haven’t received your order, please don’t panic. You’re still in the ones we are getting to as fast as we can. Please remember that Sherri has had to sign over ten thousand books and each book has to be wrapped in paper and bubble wrap to protect it, then carefully placed in a box. It’s a time consuming process, and we are working morning, noon, and late into the night to fulfill as many orders each day as we can, even through the weekends. We also have to make multiple deliveries to the post office each day where we fill two or more tubs with hundreds of pounds of books each time, and that, too takes time.
Once we finish packing and mailing all orders, we will post an update on Kickstarter and Facebook to let everyone know that the last book order has been sent. If everyone could please wait until two weeks after that post about the final books shipped to ask about any order you haven’t received, we would deeply appreciate it as answering emails on that takes time away from packing orders, and right now, we really want to focus our attention on getting the books out to everyone as quickly as possible.
To help facilitate that, we won’t be mailing the Nick, League, or Deadman’s Cross Paladin boxes until after we fulfill the orders for volumes 1 & 2. Once the last book is mailed out, then we’ll begin filling the mystery box orders.
Thank you so much for understanding and patience.
