Policies & Terms
SHIPPING
EcoJarz is committed to reducing waste in our shipping center, and we try to avoid using plastic for all shipments. Our stainless steel products may arrive with some light scratches because we do not wrap them in protective plastic. Your package may come stuffed with recyclable paper for padding. We tend to avoid shipping in plastic bubble mailers, however in some instances, like shipping a heavy glass jar, a bubble mailer is more cost effective. We try to ship in the smallest box possible and use paper-backed tape, instead of plastic tape. We may even reuse shipping boxes to avoid waste!
We ship out most orders within 2-3 business days from our warehouse in Denver, CO. We generally use USPS First Class for orders under a pound in weight, and USPS Ground Advantage or UPS Ground for heavier shipments, including jars. We generally do not do rush or expedited shipping unless requested and approved before ordering. Please allow 2-5 business days during normal shipping conditions before contacting us about a missing order. Sometimes deliveries can be delayed. If your package arrives damaged/and or the item is missing, please contact us right away with photos, if possible. Any packages returned to us as undeliverable may be shipped again at no additional charge to you, however continued issues may result in additional charges or order cancellation.
Yes, we ship worldwide! For International customers, you will need to pay the Duties and Taxes on your order, the price of which varies depending on what country you live in. International shipments can sometimes take up to 14 days to arrive once shipped. We only ship with approved international shippers, like USPS, UPS, or DHL.
RETURNS & EXCHANGES
We think you’ll love our products, and want you to be completely happy with your purchase. Any EcoJarz product may be returned within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. We just ask that you meet us halfway and cover the cost of shipping it back. We will issue a refund as soon as we receive your return package.

If you received an incorrect item from the packing slip or a defective item, please contact us right away! We'll cover the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error. It typically takes us 3-5 days to process a refund or exchange request.
For exchanges, the fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item. If the requested item is the same price, we can easily swap it and mail it back. However, the price of each item can vary depending on size or material. If the price of the exchanged item is different, the exchange will be treated as a refund and the new item will need to be a separate purchase.
Please email your concerns and questions regarding refunds or exchanges to support@ecojarz.com. Please allow 3-5 business days for us to process your request.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my EcoJarz products?
To clean your EcoJarz mason jar lids, you can simply scrub them in the sink like any other dish. The silicone gasket can be removed from the stainless steel lid for even deeper cleaning. They're designed to be easy to clean and sterilize, ensuring they don’t harbor any residues or odors.
We sell a reusable pipe cleaner to make cleaning the straws easier. In addition, you can run any EcoJarz product through the dishwasher!
Can I reuse EcoJarz mason jar lids?
Absolutely, sugar! Our Mason Jar Lids are designed for longevity and multiple uses. Regular Mouth or Wide Mouth, these lids are made with stainless steel and are BPA-free, ensuring no harmful chemicals leach into your preserves. They're perfect for drinks, storage, and all your jar-needs. And don't you worry, they're guaranteed for life!
What type of glass container can I use?
Our EcoJarz lids are designed to be used with glass mason jars. Cases of mason jars can be found at many major retailers. We love re-use and upcycling, and encourage you to see if you can find a compatible jar in your pantry or recycling! There are so many jars in this world that are compatible with the regular-mouth mason jar size, making reuse a great option with EcoJarz. Here are just a few products that come in containers that might work with your regular mouth EcoJarz lid:
Salsa, Peanut butter, Applesauce, Pasta sauce, Mayonnaise, Pickles, etc.
Will the stainless lids rust?
Rust on any food container isn't ideal. But fret not, our Mason Jar Lids are made from stainless steel, which greatly reduces the risk of rusting. However, typical jar bands (rings) are often made from a different type of metal and do rust - sometimes quickly. So if you see rust on your EcoJarz lid, check the band to see if that is where it's coming from. Rust from the band can be cleaned off by rubbing it with a little bit of baking soda or steel wool.
Our Stainless Steel Jar Bands are made from the same high quality stainless steel that our lids are made from and will not rust, corrode, or discolor under any normal conditions.
What are the metal lids made of?
All of our metal mason jar lids are made of 304L Surgical Stainless Steel. 304L stainless steel resists corrosion and is most commonly used in the food industry. Stainless steel has trace amounts of chromium (between 18% and 20%) and nickel (between 8% and 10.5%).
Do the color and finish of your products vary?
Yes. All of our products are made to order for EcoJarz, so you might notice slight variations in the product. For example, colors can vary slightly by batch.
