I think "partially shipped" means that it's either waiting to be picked up by USPS, or has been picked up, but hasn't left their shipping center yet. That's just a guess. I'm happy that they're heading out, though!
This will sound impatient, but I was wondering how long it'll be before books ship (in the USA). I placed an order on the 21st, but the status is still "Awaiting Shipment."
Thanks!
