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.

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.

Fermented Plant Extracts Brand: Foliar Herbal Wetting Agent
If you know you know. This is the real deal for foliar IPM and can be used as a stand alone diluted in water or you can build on this with other products mixed in.
What this gives you A simple plant friendly wetting agent that helps your foliar mixes spread and stick so every drop counts
What it is This traditional Wetting Agent is a natural surfactant and emulsifier that can be added to IPM and fertilizer programs. It can applied via foliar sprays or root drenches. Herbal Wetting Agent is infused with fresh natural plant matter known to have anti pest and pathogen properties, this batch is made with Rosemary. Herbal Wetting Agent will aim increase surface coverage and effectiveness combined with other products used in your IPM or fertilizer program. All credit for this recipe goes to Yungsang Cho who developed and teaches JADAM Natural Farming – in his curriculum this preparation is known as Herbal JADAM Wetting Agent or H-JWA.
Why growers reach for this Better coverage means better contact. On our family vegetable farm this is a staple in the natural care toolkit. My wife loves how it helps her foliar program coat leaves evenly and in her experience it can create a smothering wash on soft bodied pests like aphids as part of a broader program. We do not sell this as a pesticide. It is a supportive surfactant used to improve spray performance.
What makes this one different Fermented plant extracts provide a clean base, the rosemary fermentation lends potency and a pleasant aroma, and every batch is made with care following the spirit of the original method.
Good to know Always do a small test spray first, ideally at dawn or dusk. Avoid spraying on heat stressed plants or under intense midday sun. Do not combine with strong sulfur or heavy oil applications on the same day. Rinse sprayers after use and store product sealed at room temperature.
