Have not ordered yet as shipping to Canada i heard is expensive.
I imagine demand is very high
I would imagine it would take least one day processing.
Mine just says validated and preparing.
Same here -- nothing outside the change from pending preorder yesterday. Hoping it comes this week.
Still stuck in Processing.. guessing/hoping it'll shift to something else tomorrow.
This is what support told me:
Due to the huge amount of orders recived for this product the delivery could be delayed few days, we're preparing your order to be shipped as soon as possible and we will contact you again with a tracking ID soon as the carrier send it to us to allow you to follow the status of your order.
I have ordered two artbooks, delivery moogle plush, odin statue, calender and preordered duality album within the same order of the lore book. I am still waiting for any sort of email related to my order but my bank account shows a pre authorized transaction with the full payment. =/
I just wanted to give an update for all you waiting on your lore books to ship, it seems they are starting to finally head out.
" Thank you for contacting the Square Enix NA Online Store Support.
Your package is on way unfortunately we dont have yet any tracking ID, soon as the mailing service you chosen for your order sent us a tracking ID we will send you a mail with this ID so you can follow the statement of your order.
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Best,

Checked the SE online store, and my book shows as having changed from validated to shipped, but I still haven't received a tracking ID yet either. It'll probably show up in my email somewhere in a day or two though, every product I've ordered from them before has done the same thing.
Sadly my order still states "Delivery Status: Not started" even though I ordered it right at 1pm on Monday. The other items i have ordered are all flagged as shipped.. so dunno what's going on sadly.
My order is still status validated, but when I check the delivery status it says shipped. No email from them as of 10:10 am this morning.
Hype hype hype.
Mine changed to "Shipped" too but I did not receive any tracking options or codes. I'm afraid it will get lost in it's way here since it's another country ;-;
Mine said shipped as well when I checked it this morning. But I haven't received a tracking number for it. I ordered the two art books last Friday, and they showed up as shipped on the 18th. However, according to the tracking number, they were just picked up by USPS today at noonish so I'm like >.>
I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for faster shipping but guess I should have. :/
I bought the book with the cheapest shipping possible (5-10 days). My order has switched from preparing to shipped. I haven't received a notification email, either.
Mine appears to be shipped, too. My Odin statue on the other hand has been pushed back to December 31st, 2016. Damn!
Just a heads up, if you ordered both within the same cart, you may have been charged ahead of time then for the Odin. I was and not needing money right now I'm not too bothered by it, but my understanding was the payment is withheld until the product is actually a week from release/shipping. So that was a little annoying.
Well, you know, it could be worse: you could have had to deal with Merch Line (Savage) at FanFest... and still had to order it online anyway after it sold out. In-person sales were kind of a mess as well.
But the lore book is really cool! Presumably everyone will get them soon.
Got my tracking info today. Hype intensify.
I got my tracking info today as well from UPS Smart Post and one from Square Enix. Usually, it takes about 24 hours from receiving the email for tracking orders to work properly.
My order showed on Tuesday as shipped and I still don't have a tracking number. I contacted support.
Mine is shipped and I got a tacking ID, but when I go to track it there is nothing. ;-;
I have had usps tracking numbers not update for 2-3 days before.
I really hope they don't just sell out and not make more...I waited in Merch line, then even missed the online sale because I hadn't gotten home yet...I'm (I believe) on the waiting list...but lack of updates on this has me worried. Maybe it's for the best? Idk...it's frustrating though...I know it's only been a week, I need to have more patience...but it's still frustrating...
They confirmed on Twitter that they're going to be manufacturing more lore books. https://twitter.com/FF_XIV_EN/status...109630464?s=09
Got the email with the tracking number mid-afternoon, had updated with the most recent scan information 3-4 hours later (being delivered via UPS, not sure if that makes a difference in how quickly it's getting updated compared to others).
Got my tracking number yesterday afternoon. It's apparently coming via UPS. Unfortunately, my book is sitting in a city 30 minutes away from my home, and says it won't be delivered until 10/25. >.> I'm like "Can't I just drive and pick it up?"
I got my tracking # yesterday afternoon, and now it is slowly making it across the USA because I paid for whatever the cheapest shipping was, which means I'll probably see it next month because UPS is handling the package.
Ordered the book as soon as it was available. Had to pick the 2-5 days shipping because I live in Canada, and 5 days later, when I try to track my package, this is what I get:
"The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on October 21, 2016 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if/when available."
So much for freaking paying 35$ shipping for "2-5 days".
Never again SE, your Store sucks.
With my luck, I might get it by Christmas...
Reading their FAQ online, it said I can put in a request, but that I won't be allowed to pick up the item before the scheduled delivery date. :/ Aside from the fact I'd have to wait until Monday because the locations aren't open Saturday/Sunday. :< So, unless I'm misunderstanding the FAQ, might as well wait. Sad face.
