Shipping Method
How do you ship Koi to me?  
Your Koi will be shipped from Hawaii by UPS Next Day Air. Fedex Priority Delivery is also available for Western USA upon request. The delivery is usually done by 10:30AM in most of the cities. Delivery time for some rural area may be different. Please check the estimate arrival time with UPS (1-800-PickUPS) or FedEx (1-800-GoFedEx).


 
When can you ship?  

We can ship your Koi from Monday through Friday. For example, if your Koi is scheduled to be shipped on Tuesday, you will receive them on Wednesday, around 10:30 AM or later if in rural area.

 
How much is the shipping?  

Shipping cost will be calculated by the weight of the box. On average, one box is 35 lb. It is $105.

  • About 5 Koi of 8 in. (20cm)
  • About 4 Koi of 12 in. (30 cm)
  • About 3 Koi of 16 in. (40cm)


Please note that this is not the absolute formula of packing. We need to consider Koi's condition, water temperature, and time to the destination etc. for packing. We may pack fewer or more of your

If you have any questions on the shipping, please e-mail us at info@kodamakoifarm.com

 
Do you offer Saturday delivery?  

Yes, we can ship your Koi any time or place serviced by UPS or FedEx. Saturday delivery requires an additional fee of $14.50 per box. Saturday deliveries may not be available in certain areas.

It rarely happens, but there is some risk when shipping for a Saturday delivery, that if delayed, your Koi would not be delivered until Monday. Considering this possibility, we would like to recommend that you consider purchasing UPS insurance for these deliveries. The cost is just $30 and would protect you from any loss due to service failure up to the amount of $2000.

 
Do I have to be there when Koi is delivered?  
It is important to open the box and release them as soon as you can because they will be exhausted from their trip.

 
Can I pick up the Koi at the closest UPS station, UPS store or FedEx station?
Yes. It might be better for some of you because you can probably pick up your Koi as soon as they open the station. If they deliver, you may not be their first stop. To check your closest location, please check location finder for UPS or for FedEx

Or call UPS at 1-800-PickUPS and FedEx at 1-800-GoFedEx.

Can you hold my Koi while I bid on some more Koi?

Yes, we can. We understand it is important that you combine your winnings to save the shipping cost. Therefore, we hold your Koi for 10 days with the guarantee of the health. During the period, please bid and find companions for your shipment.

  2. Provide us with your credit card number to confirm your winnings. We will not charge you until the 10th day or if you pay C.O.D.

The 10 days will be counted from the next day of auction end. For example, if an auction closes on Wednesday, Thursday is the first day.

Can you hold my Koi after the (10 days) holding period?

Yes, we will if you need to do so. And we will do our very best to keep your Koi in good and healthy condition until the shipment. HOWEVER,

  1. We need to settle the payment before or on the 10th day.
  2. We will hold NO responsibility after 10 days as to what happens to your Koi.

What is your guarantee?
  1. We guarantee the health of your Koi during our holding policy period of 10 days.

  2. We guarantee the life of Koi for 48 hours from the packing time, providing that Koi is shipped out within the 10-day holding period.

Can I return Koi?

We are sorry, but all Koi sales are final. Keeping our Koi and facility as clean as possible is critical to assure introduction of clean and healthy Koi to our customers. Therefore, once the Koi leave our farm and have experienced other water, we do not allow any Koi to come back, for any reason. Avoiding cross contamination is the best practice.
