Pickle Licious

What's in the box: Orders are built by hand from individual products such as half-sour or full-sour pickles, olives, relish, tapenades and condiments, not a curated recurring box.

Pickle Licious is a family pickle business founded in 1995. It sells at farmers' markets, street fairs and festivals in New Jersey and New York, and it ships to all 50 states. Shoppers should know that the site works as an online store, not a true subscription box. You buy jars and containers one order at a time, and the site does not describe a recurring plan. The range is broad. Besides classic old-world style pickles you will find olives, relish, tapenades, garnishes for cocktails, condiments and some newer flavors like Flaming Dill, Wasabi Pickle Chips, Mustard Dill Chips and Hot & Spicy Sour Green Tomatoes. Product prices start at around $13 and go up with size. The site marks some products as gluten-free or vegan. Shipping takes some planning. The company recommends 2-day express with UPS or FedEx for fresh half-sour pickles and says it does not control shipping rates. Packing takes 1 to 2 business days. If something arrives damaged, you have to send photos within 2 days of delivery to get a replacement or refund. That window is short, so open your order right away. There are also party buckets and event packages for larger gatherings.
