For customers who purchase our MAIN PRODUCTS, Subscription Crates and Classic Books, LitJoy offers a 7-day period in which customers of that main product can add extra product 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 1-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 1-time purchases.
