FedEx Freight (Economy or Priority)
Large or heavy orders that qualify for freight shipping will be offered these options. All freight ships via FedEx Freight unless otherwise arranged. If you require a non-liftgate delivery (e.g. dock or forklift available), please contact us in advance.

Carriers Used

We primarily ship with FedEx, UPS, and USPS. If you need a specific carrier for a specific shipping address, please reach out to us by phone at 855-877-7645, or send us an email to support@buildasoil.com, which will create a customer support ticket. You also have the option of submitting a ticket through the support.buildasoil.com site.

PO Boxes

Orders addressed to PO Boxes often incur additional costs and are ineligible for free shipping. To avoid delays or fees, we recommend using a physical shipping address whenever possible.

Shipping Outside the Lower 48

We do ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and other U.S. territories.
Free shipping does not apply to most large or bulky items sent to these locations. Standard or custom rates will be calculated at checkout. Contact us if you need a freight quote for outlying areas.

Vendor-Fulfilled Items

Some products ship directly from our vendor partners. These will display accurate estimated ship dates on their product pages. Any concerns or delays with these items should be directed to support@buildasoil.com.

Freight Shipments

Freight shipping involves delivery of pallets via box trucks or semi-trailers.
By default, all freight is assumed to require liftgate service. If you do not need a liftgate, please notify us prior to shipment.

Inspect your freight order before signing the delivery receipt.
Count the number of packages and check for visible or concealed damage. Do not sign unless everything is accounted for and undamaged. Signing a receipt waives the right to claim missing or damaged freight unless noted at delivery.

Order Tracking

Tracking information will be emailed to the address on file once the order ships.
If you do not see the tracking email, visit https://buildasoil.aftership.com/ to locate your order using your email and order number. You may also contact support@buildasoil.com for assistance.

BuildASoil Shipping Protection

You can add BuildASoil Shipping Protection at checkout. This low-cost option insures your order against loss, theft, and damage.
If something goes wrong during transit, your replacement order will be fast-tracked through our claims system.

Even when protection is purchased, we request that you submit photos, videos, and any supporting evidence of the issue. This allows us to file formal claims with carriers and ensure the long-term success of our shipping network.

Claims Policy

All claims must be made via support@buildasoil.com.
We do not accept claim submissions via phone.

To process your claim, we require the following:

A clear description of the issue
Photos or videos documenting damage, missing items, or incorrect products
Images of packaging, shipping labels, and box condition if relevant

Do not discard any shipping materials or products involved in the claim—carriers may require inspection.

Claim Deadlines:

Visible or Concealed Damage / Missing Items: Report within 5 business days of delivery
Incorrect Products: Report within 30 days of delivery
Lost Packages or Incorrect Delivery: Report within 30 days of shipment date

Carrier Responsibility Disclaimer

Once an order has left our facility, BuildASoil is not responsible for carrier-related issues such as delays, misroutes, or mishandled deliveries.
We will support claims to the best of our ability, but the final resolution is subject to carrier approval.

Additionally, we maintain zero tolerance for mistreatment of delivery drivers, delivery dispatchers, or anyone with the shipping/freight carrier. Any reported conflict resulting in a failed delivery will result in the order being refunded, minus the cost of shipping and a 15% restocking fee.

🌱 How to Use Whole Soap Nuts for Garden Care

Discover the natural way to protect your plants with our organic saponins

You can make fresh or concentrated, see below.

🌿 How to Make Fresh Cold Soap Nut Liquid

Soaking:
- Cold Soak: Place the deseeded soap nut shells in a jar of water. The general ratio is about 10 shells to 6 cups of water, similar to boiling. You can adjust based on the desired concentration. (You can use the small cloth bag that comes with your Soap Nuts.)
- Duration: Let the shells soak for at least 8 hours, or overnight. The longer they soak, the more saponins will leach into the water, making the solution more potent.
Straining:
- If you used the cloth bag, just pull it out, it not then strain.
- After soaking, strain the solution to remove the soap nut shells. The resulting liquid will be less concentrated than the boiled version but still effective.
Usage:
- The solution can be used similarly to the boiled version in gardening for pest control, as a fungicide, and for cleaning purposes. Due to its milder concentration, you might need to use it more frequently or in larger quantities for the desired effect.
Storage:
- Store the unused portion of the soap nut liquid in the refrigerator. It doesn't have preservatives, so it can spoil or ferment if left at room temperature for too long. Use within a week for best results.

Tips:

Warm Water: Using warm water (not hot) can slightly speed up the extraction process.
Agitation: Occasionally shake or stir the solution during the soaking process to help release more saponins from the soap nuts.
Freshness Check: Before using, check the solution for any off smell or signs of spoilage. If it smells sour or unpleasant, it's best to discard it and make a fresh batch.

This method is gentler and requires no heat, making it energy efficient and convenient. However, remember that the potency and effectiveness might vary compared to the boiled version, so adjustments in application might be necessary.

💾 Storage: Use fresh, or store in a cool, dark place for up to a week.

🌿 How to Make Concentrated Boiled Soapnut Liquid

Follow these simple steps to unlock the full saponin power of soap nuts...

Making Liquid Solution:

- Boil: Place a handful of deseeded soap nut shells into a pot of water. The amount of water will depend on how concentrated you want the solution. A general guideline is about 10 shells to 6 cups of water.
- Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for approximately 30 minutes to an hour. This process extracts the saponins and creates a soapy liquid.
- Cool and Strain: Let the solution cool down and then strain it to remove the shells.
Dilution and Frequency:
- Dilution: For general use, dilute the solution as needed. A common ratio is 1 part soap nut liquid to 10 parts water, but this can vary depending on the application.
- Frequency: Use it weekly or when you notice pests or mildew. It's a gentle, natural product, but it's still wise to observe how your plants respond and adjust usage accordingly.
Composting:
- After boiling, the used soap nut shells can be added to your compost pile. They decompose well and add to the nutrient content of the compost.

🌼 Application in the Garden

🌧️ Spray on Plants: Apply the solution to the foliage, covering both top and underside of leaves.
🕗 Best Time: Spray early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid leaf burn.
📅 Frequency: Use once a week or as needed, based on pest situation.
🌼🍃Combine with other natural products to create specific formulas.
💧🌿 Great for emulsifying Neem Oil.
🛡️🦠🌱Effective in eliminating Powdery Mildew.

💾 Storage: Use fresh, or store in a cool, dark place for up to a week.
