PREORDER SHIPPING UPDATES
PLEASE NOTE:
Each of these books are preorders. That means that orders for books are not placed with our printer until all preorders are complete.
Need to update your shipping address for your preorder? Click here to see how!
We work with our printer consistently to update processes to bring the best possible product to you.
Printing begins once a preorder completes. You will now notice shipment dates include significant buffer time (4-6 months) to allow for any manufacturing adjustments and unforseen delays. Our hope is to begin delivering shipments to you early. These new processes and timelines apply to all book preorders October, 2023 and forward.
Delivery dates are subject to change; however, we will do our best to keep them as consistent and timely as possible.
The Process:
- Once books arrive, they go through 1-2 rounds of quality control before they are shipped to you.
- All of our books are handled with gloves and packed with the upmost care.
- Any Hand Painted Edge copies ship to Simply Painted Pages, after the first round of quality control. After your edges are painted, they then come back to us for the second round of quality control and ship right back to you!
_____
As we've closed out our first year of business, our first few preorders were delayed due to updating printers, edge painting (hand sprayed by Simply Painted Pages), and shipping processes after our first preorder. Updates can be found here as we have them.
Thank you to all who have supported us and been so patient with us as we work through these growth stages with you!

We are almost there! Thank you so much for baring with us during this extenuating delay. We don't take your patience for granted.
We received notice that the truck for Bloom is in transit to us!
Quality control is set to begin next week.
We know this has been an extremely long process, and it has frustrated us to no end to lose any customer faith as we navigated these manufacturing hurdles to get these books to you.
Once they are in our hands, we will move as quickly through quality control as we can. These will be gone through extremely thoroughly with everything this edition has gone through to get to you!
*PLEASE NOTE these are absolutely still coming to you and are of our utmost priority! This is the very last project we have with this manufacturing team and have since transitioned to new printers and manufacturing providers for all new and other existing preorders.

Previous Update October 8th -
We want to provide an important update on your special edition order of To Bleed a Crystal Bloom and the remaining to be fulfilled of The Coven. We understand the frustration many of you are feeling due to the multiple extended delays, and we deeply apologize for the lack of a recent update. We value your patience and support during this challenging process more than you know. We have been working behind the scenes to get clear answers regarding the shipment and wanted to share the latest details with you.
As many of you know, production for To Bleed A Crystal Bloom was supposed to be completed and shipping to us some time ago. However, the shipment was unexpectedly stalled without transparent explanation to us, and we have spent the past several weeks working diligently to resolve the issue with the manufacturer and get to the bottom of these delays to secure a reliable timeline for when the books would be en route to us. During this time, we’ve been hesitant to provide premature updates as we didn’t want to give further incorrect or uncertain information. Let's just say we were about to get on a flight ourselves to get a solution for you.
The good news is that after significant efforts to get everything back on track, we're being told by the manufacturer that the books are completed, and will reach our warehouse in the next 2-3 weeks. We are awaiting tracking and will be watching it diligently.
Once they are in our hands, we will move as quickly through quality control as we can. These will be gone through extremely thoroughly with everything this edition has gone through to get to you!
*PLEASE NOTE these are absolutely still coming to you and are of our utmost priority! This is the very last project we have with this manufacturing team and have since transitioned to new printers and manufacturing providers for all new and other existing preorders.

For those that have questions as to why we cannot pre-ship The Coven bundle books separately: The majority of our packaging is custom ordered per preorder to give an exclusive unboxing experience. For this preorder, our bundle boxes are upgraded with custom artwork printed on both the inside and outside with soft touch lamination and a pull tab design. Additionally, this includes already purchased and prepared art pieces, and other packaging materials for the bundles needed to ship for this preorder. We also do not charge additional shipping costs for our Bundles vs. Single book preorders/orders within The United States.
There is a lot of planning for specific numbers and material costs that go into preparing for bundle orders to be fulfilled. Getting additional boxes alone to separate the shipping of the two books would add an additional 2 months to the already delayed process. Keeping our bundles as is, outside of the previous listed factors, allows us to prepare for these books' final arrival and get these out as quickly as we possibly can.
At this time factoring in the potential loss of box costs, shipping materials, and additional shipping costs alone required to ship The Coven separately to customers, would be economically unachievable. We're looking at much more than a few dollars per person out of pocket to achieve this scenario, as well as a waste of materials as the bundle boxes are sized to ship two books safely and would need to all switch to single boxes. However, this is not just an issue of us not wanting to lose out on boxes, please know we have thought through this decision thoroughly from every angle and not lightly.
* Please bare with us as we get these out in batches in as timely a manner as possible. If you are unable to wait further for your shipment please email support at help@lithavenbooktique.com with your order number and "cancel order" in the subject bar. We are always happy to cancel & refund any orders that experience an extensive delay.
Shipping is complete on all orders.
Shipping is complete on all orders as of July 23rd.

These are a little more sensitive as we are aiming to match as close to original materials as possible while also adhering to the current companies print standards. These will be both visually and to touch as close to the originals as we can achieve.
