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 printers consistently to update processes to bring the best possible product to you.

Printing begins once a preorder completes. You will notice shipment dates include a timeline (4-6 months) to allow for any manufacturing adjustments and mitigate delays to the best of our ability. Our hope is to begin delivering shipments to you early. We are currently working ahead for 2025 to work towards this goal while we also do our best to get any past and current preorders in your hands.

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 then ship right to you!

For Previous Reference: Important Update regarding the printer change:

Thank you for your continued patience as we’ve worked through this complicated and incredibly frustrating situation. We know it’s been over a month since our last update, and we want to share the full picture of what’s been happening and why, and allow as much transparency as we can now. 

After receiving tracking details in October from the manufacturer, we believed the books were finally on their way to us after their attempt to resolve the previous manufacturing issues on the first run. 

Unfortunately, it has since become clear that this information was not truthful, and the books were never shipped to us. This has been devastating for us to discover, as we have previously received completed editions from them that would indicate we could expect a finished product despite the delays. 

After issuing a very strict ultimatum and having to move forward with legal action it has been made clear they cannot fulfill their commitments.

We’ve held up on this update until we could confirm with legal counsel on the best action to take and in hopes that they would wish to rectify the situation and save the integrity of the professional relationship.

Here’s what actions have been taken to immediately resolve this once and for all:

  • New Printer: We’ve entrusted the production of these books to our current reliable U.S. printer, who have already produced the stunning dust jackets you’ve come to love, and several of our other titles that have already been delivered to customers. They have everything in hand and are aware of everything these books have been through.
  • Expedited Timeline: The new printer is fast-tracking the process and has put these on priority to minimize further delays while ensuring the books meet our high standards.
  • Production timeline including shipping to us: 15-20 days (For clarification purposes, this is business days. Everything else we have received from this printer has been solid on their delivery estimations). 
  • Cancellations: We know due to this delay you may not prefer 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.
  • Legal Action: We are taking legal steps to address the issues with the original manufacturer to hold them accountable for their role in this prolonged delay.
  • Progress Sharing: We will be sharing concrete production progress until books arrive in our hands.

We know words can only go so far when you’ve waited so long and how much you’ve invested in these editions, and we take that responsibility seriously. We cannot apologize enough for how this situation has unfolded. This has been an incredibly difficult and humbling experience, and while we wish it could have been avoided and we regret not taking this route sooner, we are doing everything in our power to make this right. We are now including a second extra custom art print in every box, as a thank you for waiting. Additionally, our team is very excited for you to read the exclusive bonus chapter included in this edition!

We are committed to ensuring these books are delivered as quickly as possible with the new printer while maintaining our quality many of you have previously received with our other editions.

Thank you for standing by us—we couldn’t do this without you. We’ll provide updates as the expedited timeline progresses and keep you informed every step of the way.

We will send out an address update reminder email to all customers before they begin fulfillment, so keep an eye on your email! You can also update your address now by following the directions HERE to ensure your book arrives safely.

Updated April 27th -

We’re happy to share that Helfyre and Honey are now progressing through quality control!

Our team is carefully inspecting each copy to ensure it meets our production standards. Fulfillment for this set will begin soon after quality control is completed.

Please note:

We are fulfilling several preorders at this time, and Helfyre and Honey will be processed in line with those shipments. Our team is working diligently to move each project through as quickly and carefully as possible.

Thank you again for your continued excitement and support—we’re so thrilled for you to have this edition in hand soon!

Upcoming Fulfillments

Updated April 27th -

We’re excited to share that the replacement copies of The Hollow & Legend Omnibus by Karina Halle are preparing for shipment!

We’re working closely with our printer to ensure the highest quality standards are maintained, along with additional protection measures to prevent any damage during transit. The books are currently overseas and preparing for shipment to our warehouse, where they’ll go through final quality control before fulfillment begins.

Given the current shipping and manufacturing climate, we’re taking every precaution to help avoid any customs delays and to keep the fulfillment timeline moving as smoothly as possible.

Thank you again for your continued patience and support—we’re getting closer every day to placing these beautiful editions into your hands!

*For order cancellations due to the delay: 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.

We will send out an address update reminder email to all customers before they begin fulfillment, so keep an eye on your email! You can also update your address now by following the directions HERE to ensure your book arrives safely.

If you missed our previous Important update:

The Hollow & Legend Omnibus arrived to our warehouse, but upon inspection, we were immediately surprised to find significant damages sustained during transit. Unfortunately, the condition of the books do not meet our standards.

We’re grateful that both the forwarder and printer were quick to step in and assist with the situation. Production of replacements is already underway and will be completed as soon as possible following Chinese New Year.

We do want to assure production timelines on replacements will move much faster due to production processes and color management already being established from the first run. These are with the same printer, and further protection measures are being taken during transit.

Once they arrive, they will go through quality control and move into fulfillment promptly.

We know this is disappointing given the wait already undergone for this set, but we cannot in good conscience ship books with higher-level damages. With the nature of this occuring we are opening the option for refunds on this preorder if you prefer to no longer wait due to the delay.

Thank you for your patience as we work to ensure these special editions arrive to you in the best condition possible!

*For order cancellations due to the delay: 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.

Updated April 27th -

We want to thank everyone again for your continued patience as we work to bring The Blackened Blade to our warehouse and into your hands.

We’ve been notified that the original shipment is now moving toward release from customs. In the meantime, we’ve continued moving forward with reprinting to ensure fulfillment can proceed as efficiently as possible once materials are in hand.

Based on the latest updates from our printer, the reprint production is progressing, and shipment coordination will begin as soon as printing is complete. Once either shipment arrives, we’ll move directly into quality control, hand jacketing, and fulfillment.

We’ll continue to keep you updated as we move through the final stages. Thank you again for your incredible support—we’re looking forward to placing these beautiful editions into your hands soon!
