For customers who purchase our main products (Subscription Crates and Classic Books), LitJoy offers a 7-day period during which customers of that main product can add extra items to their order for no additional shipping! These products are called Add-Ons.

Add-Ons are available each month from the 4th to the 10th. Add-On weeks are specific to the main product of that month. Only customers of that month's main product can access that month's Add-Ons.

For example, a customer who purchases a February Young Adult Crate will have access to the February Add-Ons from February 4th-10th.

LitJoy offers one-time crates to be purchased at the time that subscriptions close and only if that crate was not sold out as a subscription. These crates will become available in the LitJoy Shop as one-time purchases.

This is an error with your payment account, not LitJoy's system. We recommend:

Make sure you have enough funds in your account. If necessary, update your payment information on your LitJoy account to a different payment method.

All pre-order products are charged at checkout at the time of purchase.

Starting July 1, 2022, the state of Colorado, U.S.A. requires that online retailers like LitJoy charge a $0.27 fee on all orders that include a physical product delivered to an address in Colorado.

The fee appears as a $0 product added to all orders. This allows our tax software to check if the order qualifies for the $0.27 fee. If the order qualifies, the $0.27 fee will be added to the taxes owed on your order.

This is applied to every order and not necessarily every shipment.

Why can't I remove the fee from my cart?

The law requires that LitJoy apply the fee. The fee is not optional and cannot be removed from the cart. If your order does not qualify as needing to pay the fee, you will not be charged the $0.27 fee.

I don't live in Colorado, why is this showing up in my cart?

If your orders are not being shipped to Colorado, you will not be charged the $0.27 fee. Because of the short notice given to retailers to implement this unique fee in their stores, we have added this $0 product to work with our tax software that checks every order to see if the fee must be applied. This allows LitJoy to be in full compliance with Colorado's tax law until software developers can catch up and implement the new tax into their existing tax framework.

We appreciate your patience as we strive to keep up with ever changing tax laws and regulations!
