Got my notification of shipment earlier this week, saying 6-10 days to get here (which will be an underestimate!) So much for trying to get it here for the release date!
Same here - mine was posted 11/8 so assuming the best possible shipping time (which is incredibly unlikely) that's an arrival date of 17/8 at the earliest.
Very disappointed as copies are already being delivered over the last few days in the US that were sent out on standard US delivery terms - quite a few were received before my copy even left the Paizo warehouse.

Mine just said "Shipping" for ages and I hoped it was already on the way. Now it says "Shipped yesterday." So basically I'm running onto the street every day the postman appears for nothing and should have just got it from my local shop instead.
Sorry, but seeing those words totally spoiled my day. I'm in the Netherlands and expected the book to have been sent more than a week ago to get here on it's $50 wings by tomorrow.
Apparently it didn't.
That doesn't take away from the fantastic job the Paizo folks did with their mammoth order, - that was awe-inspiring and amazing in general.
I'm just totally bummed now because of my specific case.

I believe that all non-trackable shipments defaulted to "Shipped" yesterday because that was the expected last day of shipment. Your particular box may well have left the building before August 11.

It's amazing how passionate and paranoid I've got about this book. I hope you're right, Joana. thanks!

Hope for all of you! I have it in my hands right now, at this moment. Really, it arrived this morning and my account says it shipped yesterday so, watch your mails tomorrow.

When we ship subscription shipments, we record two things:
The first is when we start shipping out subscription shipments
The second is when we expect all of the subscription shipments to have shipped by
A typical subscription order can ship any time between the start of the process and the expected ship by date. However, in the interest of being expedient, we do not keep track of when every subscription order is sent out - recording that would slow the shipping process down a lot.
So every order that is shipped as part of the normal subscription shipment will show "Shipping" during that time period, and it will listed the "Shipped" date as the day we expected to ship all orders by. However, any particular subscription order could have shipped any time within that block of time. In this case, we set it up so that the further you were away from us physically, the sooner the order shipped, so if your order is being shipped internationally it's likely that your order shipped closer to the beginning of that time period rather than the end.
Because August's subscription shipments are taking longer to ship than most months' subscription shipments (due to the staggered shipping we implemented and the fact that the Core Books take longer to pack and ship than normal subscription shipments), the time period that the orders say "Shipping" is longer, which means that more people are noticing it. But that's what everyone's says. For subscription orders, you should generally look at the "shipped" date as the "shipped by" date - it might have shipped that day, or it might have shipped the week before.

Thank you Alison, for the clear explanation. I've calmed down again, I've downloaded Tome of Secrets, I'll download the RPG pdf tonight (hopefully) - and the icing on the cake would be a shiny book arriving. If not - c'est la vie. I've got a Savage Tide game tonight to look forward to, so it's all good.

It arrived some time this week - but not here. It went to customs is still there. When I got back from our company Summer Party earlier today (I've been gone since Friday morning), I found a note from DHL that the shipment is in customs and that I need to get over there with some paperwork to bail it out. I'll be doing that Monday morning in my lunch break.
