Shipping is expensive, and it gets more expensive almost every year. We are not going to pretend otherwise. What we can tell you is that we work hard to find the most reliable and affordable way to get your order to you, and we pass along free shipping wherever it makes sense.
Free shipping on any order with two or more items. The one exception is bulk items, meaning the large or heavy products that have to move by freight or oversized parcel. If your cart qualifies, free shipping is applied automatically at checkout.
Most stores set free shipping at a dollar threshold. That works when you sell light things like clothing. We don't. We ship soil, amendments, and heavy real goods that are expensive and awkward to move, so a dollar minimum doesn't reflect what shipping actually costs us.
We are a small business with no outside financial backing, and we are not Amazon. We manufacture, pack, and ship everything in house so we can control quality, which means real people picking, boxing, taping, and labeling every order, and that means real jobs. When we ship a single item for free, the only way to cover it is to raise prices across the board, and we would rather not do that. Asking for two or more items on free orders lets us keep prices lower for everyone and keep shipping sustainable. We hate high shipping costs as much as you do, and this is the fairest way we have found to keep them down.
Every product page shows an estimated delivery window based on current fulfillment and carrier schedules, so you know what to expect before you buy.
Free on eligible orders with two or more items. We select the carrier and method.
Standard ground service.
Same standard transit, but we push it out the door the same day when we can.
Prioritized fulfillment with faster transit.

For large or heavy orders, faster transit.
We ship with FedEx, UPS, and USPS, and we pick the carrier that gets your order to you reliably at the best cost. We cannot guarantee a specific carrier unless you arrange it with us ahead of time.
Orders to PO Boxes often cost more and usually do not qualify for free shipping. Use a physical address to avoid delays and added fees.
We ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. Free shipping generally does not apply to large or bulky items going to these destinations, though Hawaii and Alaska have more flexibility depending on carrier policy. Rates are quoted at checkout or on request.
We ship select items to Canada. Canadian customers need to choose "UPS Standard Shipping to Canada" at checkout so your order clears customs cleanly and you avoid surprise brokerage fees. Orders placed with other methods can be delayed or rejected at the border.
Some products ship directly from our vendor partners and show their own estimated ship dates on the product page. Questions about these go to support@buildasoil.com.
Freight orders arrive on pallets by box truck or semi. We assume you need liftgate service unless you tell us otherwise.
Inspect every freight shipment before you sign. Count the packages and check for damage. Signing the delivery receipt confirms the order arrived complete and undamaged, so note any problem on the receipt before you sign it.
Full truckload (FTL) orders are custom quoted after checkout based on your location, order volume, and how the truck will be unloaded.
We email tracking as soon as your order ships. If it does not arrive, check buildasoil.aftership.com with your order details, or email support@buildasoil.com.
This optional add-on at checkout covers your shipment against loss, theft, and damage, and we fast-track those claims for replacement or resolution. Even with protection, photos and documentation help us move carrier claims along faster.
Send all claims to support@buildasoil.com. We do not process claims by phone.
Include:
Hold onto the packaging and any damaged items until the claim is resolved, since carriers may require an inspection.
We help with every carrier claim we can. But once an order is in the carrier's hands, we cannot control delays, damage, or misdelivery, and the carrier makes the final call on claims.

Grand Master LEDs Tarantula Tent Ultimate
Most tent lights sit well inside the tent walls, so the plants in the middle get the most light and the corners fall behind. The Tent Ultimate reaches almost wall to wall, packs its bars close together, and adds extra light along the edges, so the plants in the corners keep up with the ones in the center. It is the most even light we have found for a home grower running a 4x4 or 5x5, and it connects to the AC Infinity controller you may already own.
Even coverage
In a tent, the corners are where most lights come up short. Three design choices close that gap.
Nearly wall to wall
The fixture is built to the inside size of the tent, about 1.5 inches short of the walls on each side. Most lights stop much farther in.
Tight bar spacing
The bars sit close together and evenly spaced across the whole fixture, so there are no bright stripes and dark gaps across the canopy.
Extra light on the edges
Light falls off near the walls in any tent. The Tent Ultimate adds extra light along the outer edges to balance that out.
Build quality
We have worked with a lot of grow lights over the years. The Tent Ultimate has the best fit and finish of any of them, and it is not close, even next to the competitors selling today. You notice it the moment you open the box, and again when the light bars click into the frame with no fiddling.
It is also IP66 rated against dust and water spray and ETL Listed, and Grand Master backs it with a 5 year warranty.
Choose your size
Each size is built to fill one tent. Pick the one that matches yours.
Power cost assumes 12 hours a day at full power and $0.15 per kWh. Plug in your own rate with our free grow light cost calculator.

Efficacy is how much plant-usable light comes out per watt from the wall. At 2.76 µmol/J, every joule of electricity becomes 2.76 micromoles of light.
Setup
Click it together
The light bars click right into the frame bars, then it plugs in and is ready to run. One person can hang it, but it is safer with two. The manual for your size is linked in the documents section below.
Hang at 12 to 18 inches
Measure from the top of the canopy, not the soil. Raise the light as plants grow to hold that distance.
Set intensity
Use the knob, or connect it to your AC Infinity controller with AC Infinity's UIS Type-A lighting adapter (sold separately) to schedule and dim it with the rest of your tent. Start lower for young plants and turn it up as they establish.
Power use
Worked at full power and $0.15 per kWh. Dimmed, the light draws less. To run the numbers with your own electric rate and schedule, use our free grow light cost calculator.
| Schedule | 4x4 at 750 W | 5x5 at 1,000 W |
|---|---|---|
| Flower, 12 hours a day | 9.0 kWh a day, about $40.50 a month | 12.0 kWh a day, about $54.00 a month |
| Veg, 18 hours a day | 13.5 kWh a day, about $60.75 a month | 18.0 kWh a day, about $81.00 a month |
Fill the tent
A light this even rewards a full canopy. These kits are built to the same tent sizes.

Questions
Match the light to the tent. A 4x4 tent takes the 4x4 light and a 5x5 tent takes the 5x5. The 5x5 fixture is 56.7 inches wide and will not fit in a 48 inch tent.
Yes, if you run AC Infinity. Connect the light to your AC Infinity controller with AC Infinity's UIS Type-A lighting adapter, then schedule and dim it alongside your fans. The adapter is sold by AC Infinity and most grow stores. It also works with the Grand Master Controller.
Lights ship with a 120 V cord. If you need 240 V, tell us before you place your order and we will send it with a 240 V cord.
Request a 240 V cord12 to 18 inches above the top of the canopy. Use the knob to bring intensity down for seedlings and clones.
The fixture is rated IP66 for dust and water spray, so normal tent humidity and a stray splash while watering are not a problem.
Both sizes carry a 5 year warranty from Grand Master. Start with us and we will help you through it. The full warranty policy is linked in the documents section.
