Project Update: The Path of Misery is Clear | Shipping Charges Soon, FAQ

Hello folks,

I do apologize for how long it's been, but I don't like to make updates when I don't have information to share. So as you've all likely already noticed, I have not added shipping charges to anyone's orders or charged for shipping. If I had, you'd have known-- as I would have shared an update that shipping costs are added to your pledges and being charged.

So, the good news: All the decks are made! They've been ready for a few weeks now at least. The manufacturer has been waiting for the oracle dice that go in the deluxe editions to ship to them from the dice manufacturer, but as of today, those were received. There are only 500 deluxe editions being made, so that will be done very fast since everything else is done and ready. 

This means I am locking down addresses here in a few days on Monday the 18th. You have until then to update your address if you need to. I will then be giving the addresses and final orders over to our fulfillment team.

New Timeline

  • May 18th: All items are assembled. I submit final spreadsheets for your orders and addresses to get shipping costs.
  • May 25th: Shipping charges applied to your orders, charged 2 days later.
  • June 5th: International shipping starts to go out.
  • June 10th: All US Orders are packed and heading to the states.
  • July 20th: All orders expected to be in the mail or in hand.

This is a clear delay to our timeline, but we're at the end now. Things are moving towards shipping.

   For international orders, they could begin being packed and heading out the very first days of June. This would go on through June, and means International orders would be arriving throughout the back half of June and through July. By the end of July, all international orders should be received.
   For the US, they will be packed at once in June and travel to the US by boat. Then we will see them ship out directly into the USPS system from there. That means it'll all be in hand by early-August at the latest in the US.

FAQ


What If I've Moved, or Will be Moving?
I'm not locking addresses until Monday. Please update it now in your Backerkit survey.
    If you're unsure where you'll be, please have it shipped to a friend or family member who is not moving in that window. Once I lock addresses and give it to our fulfillment team, we cannot adjust addresses for any reason.
*If you backed the Hot Housewives Tarot campaign(s) and had them combined to this project, you'll find it all collected here in your Misery Tarot order. So update your address here. If uncertain, just update your address on all three projects where you can.

How Do I Know If I Did My Survey?
I've noted a few times now that folks haven't done their surveys and emailed those people directly. There are still 40 folks on this particular project who haven't touched their survey.
You can personally check your survey at any time by either following this link, or by just going to Backerkit.com and looking at your surveys. If you entered a shipping address for this specific project, that means you did your survey.
https://the-misery-tarot.backerkit.com/
I will update when I have added shipping totals to your orders, so those aren't in place yet. You just want to see that you completed your survey, that's all for this moment.

How Do I Know If My Orders Got Merged/Combined?
I've had many folks confused why their orders don't look combined. This is not because you're stupid-- it's a bit obtuse. I apologize for that. But if you check your Backerkit survey it should show items from the other projects merged together. You'll find this project, the Misery Tarot, has all your items if you had them merged from the Hot Housewives campaigns.
   *Some folks noted they had to go into edit their survey mode to see the full cart.*
   I have had only one backer reach out to tell me an item was wrong, and it truly was! Of the many others who have reached out, it's all been misunderstandings of where to look. So please check your surveys on each project to see if one has all the items if you're concerned, otherwise we should be good. 

Who Do I Contact With Questions?
Me! I have my contact info in the Terms & Conditions at the bottom of every project page nowadays, but for posterity: [email protected].
   Please email me there, and do not instead message me on Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, or elsewhere. All of those things are very poor ways to contact me. My contact email is shared on every project, on my website, and elsewhere. So please be sure to use it, it's the best way to contact me always!
   *Please do not comment on this update, the project, message through kickstarter, and email me all at once. Any one of those things drops me an email and I always respond to my emails, so you don't need to try multiple paths. Just one email will suffice! : )

Alrighty, see y'all Monday when I send in your orders to start packing and figuring out shipping costs!
