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 weโve worked through this complicated and incredibly frustrating situation. We know itโs been over a month since our last update, and we want to share the full picture of whatโs been happening and why, and allow as much transparency as we can now.ย
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.ย
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.ย
After issuing a very strict ultimatum and having to move forward with legal action it has been made clear they cannot fulfill their commitments.
Weโve 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.
Hereโs what actions have been taken to immediately resolve this once and for all:
- New Printer: Weโve entrusted the production of these books to our current reliable U.S. printer, who have already produced the stunning dust jackets youโve 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).ย
- 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 youโve waited so long and how much youโve 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 usโwe couldnโt do this without you. Weโll 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.

Upcoming Fulfillments
Updated March 27th -
The replacement copies of The Hollow & Legend Omnibus are currently on press and nearing completion. Weโre working closely with our printer to ensure the highest quality and have put additional protection measures in place to avoid the damage seen in the previous shipment.
To help speed things along, weโre planning to air ship the books once production is complete. Due to the discreet nature of the cover and visual artwork on this edition, our printer and forwarding service has expressed that they do not anticipate any red flags with customs and are working closely to ensure there is not a delay with the new shipment
Once they arrive, theyโll go through quality control and will move to fulfillment as quickly as 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.
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.
Weโre 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.

Weโre still navigating the customs delay that impacted the shipment of The Blackened Blade due to content restrictions. While weโve continued working with our forwarding service, customs has yet to release the shipment. Both the printer and forwarding service have taken responsibility for the issue and are actively working with us to resolve it.
To avoid further delays, our printer has already begun reprinting the books so we can move forward with fulfillment as soon as either production is complete or the original shipment is releasedโwhichever comes first. If the original shipment does arrive, those copies will be offered later as additional overstock or scratch & dent.
These will be hand jacketed upon arrival during quality control.
Thank you for your patience on waiting for this beautiful edition!
