Getting Your Jars

Shipping, Delivery and Pickup

Last updated: October 2026

You can pick up your order in Lakewood, have us deliver it in the Denver metro area, or have it shipped to a Colorado address.

Three ways to get your order

  • Pickup in Lakewood. Pick up free at The Karma House on West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood. Checkout shows the address and hours, and we include them in your order confirmation.
  • Local delivery. We deliver in the Denver metro area, up to 24 miles by road from our kitchen. The fee is $5 for each 6 miles of driving, or part of that, so a trip of 6 miles or less costs $5. Checkout measures the distance and shows the fee once you enter your address. You choose the delivery date, from tomorrow up to 60 days ahead. A date 3 days or more after the day you order has no rush fee. A sooner date adds a rush fee of $15.
  • Shipping, Colorado only. We ship to Colorado addresses only. Read on for the details.

Checkout shows which of these are open when you order.

We ship within Colorado only

We make our jars under Colorado's cottage food law, which lets small producers sell food made in a home kitchen. That law does not allow sales to other states, so we sell and ship to Colorado addresses only. Checkout won't take a shipping address in another state.

Packing and postage

Glass jars need care on the road. We pack them in padded boxes that hold up to 3 jars each. Shipped orders pay two charges for each box: a packing fee of $10 and postage of $15. Postage is a flat price per box for now, wherever in Colorado the box goes. Checkout shows both before you pay.

Shipping charges by number of jars
JarsPackingPostageTotal
1 to 3 jars$10$15$25
4 to 6 jars$20$30$50
7 to 9 jars$30$45$75

And so on: every 3 jars adds another box. Pickup and local delivery orders pay neither charge.

Sales tax

We charge the local sales tax on food where you get your jars: the pickup spot for pickup orders, or your address for delivery and shipping. If we have no rate on file for that place, we charge no tax. Colorado doesn't charge its state sales tax on food for home use, and we don't charge tax on the delivery, rush, packing or postage fees.

When your order ships

We make everything in small batches, and orders usually ship within a few business days. How long the trip takes after that depends on the carrier.

If a jar arrives broken

Glass sometimes breaks in transit, however well we pack it. If a jar arrives broken, email us a photo within 72 hours of delivery and we will replace it or refund it. Our Refunds and Cancellations page explains how.
