Your program will not allow me to continue. It keeps telling me that I need to choose shipping method. I have already chosen USPS. Please help me to continue the order of 4 18 lbs. bags of Buckwheat Hulls. I have not yet been allowed to enter the payment area either.

Hello Dixie,
I just left you a rather long and I hope not too confusing voice mail about what I think is the reason you are having problems placing your order. I’m quite sure the problem is the US Postal Service (USPS) will not ship packages over 70lbs (4 x 18lbs = 72+ lbs). We break the orders up into more manageable weights staying well under the 70lb limit but our online process simply calculates the total weight.
I apologize for your difficulties in placing an order. I will address the issue in our online process ASAP. In the mean time, please place multiple orders if the weight will be more than 70lbs or you can call us (919) 467-1973 or place a mail or fax order with our Thank you for your patience as we continue to work out the bugs in our new website.
Cheers,
Bill D.

What is the density of your buckwheat hulls? (please give in lb/ft^3)
Thanks,
Mark
Buckwheat1 says:
Mark – Thanks for your interest in buckwheathulls.com. 10 pounds of buckwheat equal approximately 1 cubic foot. I hope that helps.

I live relatively close to Cary, NC – on Fort Bragg, specifically – and found your site while looking for a local seller of buckwheat hulls. Is it possible to purchase directly from your facility? Or is shipping the only method used to get the product to the purchaser? Thanks for the information.

I would like to order 40-60 pounds of buckwheat hulls — last year there was a price break somewhere in that range. Is that still the case?
Thanks,
Deb
