Hello everybody,
We are marching towards the finals steps of delivery.
We made some tests on a batch of backers to ensure that the whole process is working properly. Now, we just asked you for a final check of your address on backerkit, so we can begin delivery in Europe and send the information to our fullfilment partner in the USA.
As some backers asked: the delivery in the US will be made by USPS, from the USA, so no worries for tax collection or interstate hurdles.
For europe and the rest of the world, we will make several batches:
- Backers with books only will be treated next week onward.
- Backers with goodies will be delayed until we received the last objects remaining to be produced. I have some due date around december but I'm looking for solutions to reduce the delay, i'll make another update once I get more infos.
You should see the tracking number of your parcel directly on backerkit, I will make another update once the big batch will be sent so you can check the transport status.
Thanks everybody for your patience !

Hello everyone,
Sorry for the delay in our answer, but it’s been a busy summer—we’re finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!
For those of you who want to know about the ups and downs of preparing a KS campaign, please read on for the rest of this update.
For those of you who are eager to know a specific date, here’s a summary:
> For the United States and Canada, the books are currently being shipped; they should leave France in August and arrive for delivery in late September/early October. To speed up the process, we’ll be sending the goodies to the fulfillment provider so as not to delay the container.
> For Europe and the rest of the world, all add-on orders have been placed; they should arrive in France by late August, where we’ll ship them out throughout September.
You're still there ? here’s a quick TLDR of the life of a Kickstarter fulfillment manager.
Preparing a Kickstarter campaign means dealing with lots of little unexpected hiccups that add an extra week here and there.
Where to start? Oh right: With our heads buried in the work, we forgot to post our updates on Kickstarter!
Back to our odyssey: in the final stages, we had to finalize the MIR seal and the tessera. These were new goodies we’d never made before. Surprise—we had to provide a 3D file (an STL, for those in the know), and while Adrien and I are big fans of miniatures, we weren’t familiar enough with the process to create such a file.
Fortunately, we had friends who were experts in this field, and we’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Repliquant for their help with this.
Next, working with a fulfillment service required us to label and create QR codes for all of our products—it might not seem like much at first glance, but between T-shirt sizes and goodies, that adds up to more than fifty SKUs. Even funnier, some of these goodies—like the CDs—were already produced but didn't have labels. I had to order a new printer to make brand new labels and spend a weekend sticking them on various products.
Finally, the big issue: crossing the Atlantic (it’s easier by plane). Shipping books is quite an adventure. I’m not just talking about INCOTERMS—those dreaded border monsters—but all the little details that make logistics so unforgiving for newcomers:
We had to replace the pallets to bring them up to standard, find help there as well to understand all the pitfalls to avoid, and I’d like to thank Caurette Editions for their help navigating the intricacies of international shipping.
In short, all these little issues, one after another, added days to our delay. I’m still waiting for one final confirmation next week, and then we’ll be able to set a firm date for shipping your precious books—we can’t wait for you to receive them!

Hello everyone,
Thanks you again for your patience.
Some of you have already (or will) receive some email coming from Backerkit: we are making some modifications, especially for managing the different languages.
All the backers that have order some sweatshirts or tshirt will also receive an email for confirming their size.
These are the last step in order to finalize the preparation for the sending.
We will make the next update with more details about the shipping planning.
Regards,
MIR TEAM
