🚚 Carriers Used

We ship with FedEx, UPS, and USPS. Carrier preference is not guaranteed unless explicitly communicated to us. 


📮 PO Boxes 

Orders shipped to PO Boxes often require additional costs and are not eligible for free shipping. Use a physical address to avoid delays and fees.


🏝️ Outside Continental US

We ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Free shipping generally does not apply to large or bulky items shipped to these locations. Hawaii and Alaska do have more flexibility with this due to carrier policies. Quotes will be calculated at checkout or by request.


🇨🇦 Canada Orders

We do ship to Canada for select items. Canadian customers must choose “UPS Standard® Shipping to Canada with no Surprises!” at checkout to ensure proper customs clearance and avoid unexpected brokerage fees or delays. Orders using other methods may be subject to delays or rejection at customs.


🏭 Vendor-Fulfilled Items

Some products are fulfilled by vendor partners and display estimated ship dates on their product pages. Questions about these items should be sent to support@buildasoil.com.


🚛 Freight Shipments

Freight deliveries involve pallets via box trucks or semis. Liftgate service is assumed unless specified otherwise.

Important: Inspect all freight shipments before signing. Count and examine all packages. Signing the delivery receipt confirms that the order arrived in full and undamaged.


🚛 Full Truckloads

Orders that qualify for full truckload (FTL) delivery will be custom quoted after checkout. Rates are based on location, order volume, and unloading requirements.

  • Indicate if you have a dock, forklift, or unloading equipment.
  • If you need liftgate or manual unload service, please notify us.
  • Contact support@buildasoil.com in advance for FTL quotes.

Tracking information is emailed upon shipment. If not received, visit buildasoil.aftership.com and enter your order details. For help, contact support@buildasoil.com.


🛡️ Shipping Protection

This low-cost optional add-on at checkout insures your shipment against loss, theft, and damage. Claims are fast-tracked for resolution or replacement.

Even with protection, we encourage submitting photos, videos, and documentation to assist our carrier claims process.

I'll take all the help I can get!

These really help to save me the hassle of checking my pots daily during periods of rapid growth when sometimes they need watered every 2 days vs 3 days. I'm not lazy but I am in a w/c - therefore, it's a hassle to check the moisture daily, lol. Now I can just look at my phone app! Of course I still peek in on them....but at least I don't have to stick each pot every day! The last order was a 2 pack but I don't see that listed now.

Liking this so far. Now I just need to get the deep soil sensor so that I can get a more accurate picture of the soil moisture.
