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.

Same standard transit, but we push it out the door the same day when we can.

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.

Your seedlings and clones deserve the best start possible. Too often, growers struggle with seedling soils that dry out too quickly, stay too wet, or simply don’t provide the right nutrition. A poor start can mean weak roots, slow growth, and ultimately, plants that never reach their full potential.
That’s why we created Heady Starts Seedling Soil, a carefully crafted blend designed for perfect moisture retention, aeration, and nutrition. We started from scratch, sourcing only the highest-quality ingredients, including premium Canadian Sphagnum Peat moss and organic, non-buffered Char-Coir coco coir. With 33% perlite, this mix provides unbeatable texture, ensuring your seedlings and clones develop vigorous root systems.
For Seedlings: Fill trays or pots, plant seeds, and water gently. Keep soil evenly moist for best germination.
For Clones: Soak Cuttings in Aloe Vera Water for 15 minutes up to 24 hours (if desired) and insert directly into moist soil. Check out the BuildASoil Extend-A-Dome for keeping your cuts humid and be sure to check out our youtube for how to clone.
Water as needed to maintain even moisture but avoid overwatering.
🚀 Whether you're starting veggies, flowers, or premium genetics, Heady Starts Seedling Soil ensures your plants get the best beginning possible. Give your seeds and clones the perfect foundation for explosive growth!

Worked well, the first and only use so far, one little seed came up in 4 days. I make a depression in the "hot" soil to put my seed starter in, always have, used Espoma organic seed starter before, and sometimes plain coco coir. Soaked it well before adding a seed, put the seed in a hole about a quarter inch deep, kept moist with a squirt bottle, used only collected rain water. The two strange plants I seem to get from one of the BuildASoil amendments I use, I get at least one in every pot each time after I reamend.

The first bag of this I received was very good. The next couple of batches were less. There were small sticks in the mix that were not in the first bag. The third shipment, I received, was very wet and was smelling moldy and it was much more clumpy and more small sticks. I still think it will be useful but time will tell.
