Your order has been received, however any item ordered between May 18th and June 1st will not be processed until our shippers return to work following their move to a bigger warehouse. I understand this information is posted on our website.

Processing will begin on June 2nd, 2015. Your items should complete processing at that time and ship accordingly within the days following June 2nd.

As I have said before, I think you're the only one doing customer service at Catalyst AJ. And you're not even paid! I feel bad for ya ;-0

Credit needs to be given where due...Jason followed up last night with Fizzygoo providing a pretty detailed explanation of the issues and the steps that have been taken place to address.

Update:

January 6: Jason Hardy replies with details on the issues to AJCarrington and myself (confirming AJCarrington's Jan 7th post here), including that Battlecorps is working on the backlog caused by the issue followed with a quick back and forth emailingz that's essentially a 'thanks for the help,' from me and 'thanks for your patience' from him.
January 12: Emailed Jason Hardy, the customer service email, and AJCarrington asking for updates. J. Hardy replied indicating that "our customer service representative confirmed that your information has been sent to our distributors".

I dislike being a naysayer, but I would start contacting your payment handler (paypal, credit card, other) to see what options you have in getting your money back as you are into month 8 on this.

Main problem is usually they expect you to contact them within 3 months of payment date if there are problems, but as you have your log of messages and the shop can not show any attempts at delivery, you may have a possible case for recovering your funds.

As a small business owner myself, I really dislike chargebacks but you have given the company more than sufficient time to address the issue.

If you get your funds back you can then try another supplier like dtrpg, might not have all the solid books you wanted, but you could at least get the pdfs of everything.
Do you believe in a greater WIRELESS, an Invisible(WiFi) All Seeing(detecting those connected- at least if within 100'), All Knowing(all online data) Presence that we can draw upon for Wisdom(downloads & updates), Strength (wifi boni) and Comfort (porn) or do you turn your back on it  (Go Offline)?

Update

January 28: AJCarrington sent an email follow up (the email had gone to my spam folder this morning which is the first time that happened).

Side note: I'm the guinea pig, the lab-rat, in this experiment to work out (and fix) the issues with the orders. I'm neither angry nor happy about it, but hopeful, patient, and still wanting the hard copies. And, since we're about 8 months into it, it has officially hit the absurdly silly.
