What does my order status mean?
Updated October 8, 2026 · 2 min read
Your order history shows the progress of each order:
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Personalizing book | Your character and story are being created, or your completed book is waiting to be sent to print. |
| Printing Book | Your book has been sent to production and is being printed. |
| Shipped | Your book has left the printer. Select Order Details for carrier tracking. |
| Delivered | The carrier has reported delivery. |
| Cancelled | The order was cancelled and will not be produced or shipped. |
Why is my order still personalizing?
"Personalizing book" covers the time from ordering until printing begins, including time waiting to be sent to print. It can also appear when an order has a payment problem. If you suspect a payment issue, contact us (opens in a new tab) with your order number.
Why does Delivered appear when my book is missing?
The carrier has reported a delivery, but it may have left the book somewhere nearby or scanned it before drop-off. Follow the steps in Delivered but not received.
Your account status can also lag behind carrier updates. If your book has arrived but the order still says "Shipped," check the tracking link under Order Details for the latest information. See how to track your order.
Why is there no status for my order?
Orders paid for with account credit, including gift redemptions and grants, do not currently have the same status page. See how to track your order for help checking these orders.
