Hi @monte79, sorry you haven't received your Square Reader. It typically takes 10 days for the reader to arrive.

To get a reader immediately, your best bet is to visit a retail store. (It's very likely there's one nearby.) The readers are $10, but you'll receive a $10 redemption code.

You could also order another free reader in your online Square Dashboard. You'll get a confirmation email when it's shipped. Hope that helps! If it does, it'd be great if you'd click Author's Choice beneath the response.

You say it takes 10 days but I have now ordered two readers have yet to receive either. My first order was placed on 3/15/16 and again on 3/28/16. There is still no tracking number. So explain why I haven't received the readers yet. It is now going on there weeks since I ordered the first reader. Honestly if this is how you conduct business, I will take mine elsewhere. You cannot tell someone they will have a product in 10 days and 21 days later they still have not received said product.

I ordered my reader on 3/20 and it was shipped on 3/22 but I haven't received it yet it's 4/5-why?

Sorry to hear you haven't received your readers. We work in partnership with package delivery companies to deliver the free readers, which is why they don't come with tracking information. Unfortunately packages are sometimes lost in transit, but rest assured, the readers aren't connected to any account and don't store any account information.

If you need a reader right away, feel free to pick one up at a nearby retail location and redeem the $10 cost if you're new to Square. Otherwise, you can reorder one from your Square Dashboard

Update 2018: Your first magstripe reader is free when you sign up. Extra magstripe readers cost $10 each.
