CUSTOMER SERVICE will contact you to confirm your delivery date once your order is processed. If there are any updates to your koi, you will be contacted before the shipping date. Your shipping fee will be sent separately, after your koi has been prepared. Please see the instructions in steps 6 and 7 for more information about processing your order and receiving your koi.

SHIPPING IS NON-REFUNDABLE and subject to CREDIT ONLY, based on cancelled orders or UPS Claim

IMPORTANT: All koi shipments need 5–10 days notice prior to shipping in order to stop their feeding and prepare your koi for a safe journey. If you postpone the koi further than 7 days from the original date the koi health guarantee will be waived. Read more about Koi Health Guarantee

Kodama Koi Shipping Calculator - https://www.kodamakoifarm.com/shipping-calculator/

Kodama Koi Farm has been shipping koi for many years and has learned what works best for the safe delivery of your koi. The shipping formula is not absolute.

However, when packing koi, Kodama Koi Farm takes into consideration:

• The condition of the koi
• Water temperature
• Delivery time

Kodama Koi Farm reserves the right to determine how many koi can be shipped in a box. Our 24 hour koi health guarantee is based on our farm's packing recommendation for your shipment. Any request to alter the shipping/packing recommendation requires a waiver of the 24 hour koi health guarantee to be sent to Kodama Koi Farm via E-mail.

• Hawaiian Air Cargo – US Mainland (see #6: Shipping by Aircargo)

Box sizes and UPS USA shipping fees

Use our Shipping Calculator to estimate your shipping costs and see what more can be added to your shipment.

Note: Additional $25.00 per box for Saturday delivery. Any koi that is over 18.6 inches is shipped by itself in one large box.

UPS DELIVERY

UPS ships directly to your door! Your shipment is delivered from Hawaii via UPS Next Day Air. In most cities and locations, UPS delivery usually arrives by 12:30 pm, but can vary based on location. Delivery time for some rural areas may be different. Please check the estimate arrival time with UPS  by calling 1-800-PickUPS.

You will also receive your tracking number via email from UPS directly on the day your koi ships.

UPS INSURANCE (RECOMMENDED)

We now offer insurance on UPS shipments for an additional fee. At just 6% per $100 of your koi's value

We highly recommend insurance for orders $500+ to cover the additional costs* in case of a delay. (* = koi value only) 

For example, if you buy a koi at $500, you can insure that koi for just $30!

If no insurance is purchased, neither Kodama Koi Farm nor UPS will be held liable for delays in shipment or damages to koi.

Credit is approved case by case with managers discretion. Note: UPS fee is non-refundable

Contact us by email or phone asap if there is anything wrong with your koi. 

To file a claim we will need: 

1) Photos of the shipment box 

2) Video & Photos of the top and both sides of the koi.

SATURDAY UPS DELIVERY

There is an additional fee of $25.00 per box for Saturday deliveries.

Please note: The Saturday delivery option is not available in all areas. There is some risk when opting for Saturday UPS delivery. Shipping delays are rare, however it does happen from time to time. A shipping delay may result in your koi not arriving until Monday. Because of this possibility, we highly recommend that you purchase UPS insurance for these deliveries. See UPS Shipping Fees above. The insurance will cover the cost of the shipping as well as your cost for the koi if the delay is a result of a UPS sorting error or mechanical failure. Delays due to unfavorable weather and other acts of nature are not covered.

If you have any questions about shipping, contact us at:
Phone: +1 (833) Koi Love (1-833-564-5683)
EMAIL: info@kodamakoifarm.com

If anything should happen to your Koi within the holding period (i.e.: illness and/or death) NO replacements will be provided. Instead, store credit will be issued towards your next purchase.

Store credit must be used within 6 months from the date of issue, although extensions are given on a case-by-case basis.

As avoiding cross-contamination is a part of a healthy practice in maintaining a clean facility, as well as keeping our beautiful koi as healthy as possible, all koi sales are final. Returns are not accepted. Once a koi leaves our farm and has experienced other waters, they may not be allowed to return for any reason.

At this time we do not ship our koi for sale directly to Mexico. Please cross the border to pick up your Koi at the closest UPS FedEx station inside the US, OR Please contact Tony at High Aqua. He can buy and import Koi from us and then deliver or ship the Koi to you.

Our holding policy will be updated 04/15/24

As an effort to stay within the guidelines of our farms health recommendations ensuring our promise to deliver beautiful and healthy Japanese koi. Holding koi in shipment for too long puts the koi at risk.

Kodama Koi Health Guarantee: 

It is very rare that Koi arrives dead.  We import tens of thousands of Koi from Japan every year. We hardly see DOA (dead on arrival). 

However, when delivery gets delayed due to some issues of carriers like UPS, Cargo flights etc., the life of Koi gets in danger.

What Koi Health Guarantee Includes:

• Ensures koi arrive alive
• In the case of DOA, Kodama Koi Farm Will provide store credit of koi value up to $500 per shipment

Valid only if 

• shipment date is within 30 days from date of purchase

•  all safety guidelines were followed. 
• payment was received 3 days after winning auction

Beyond 30 Days, 

Boarding rules apply ($50 per month per koi, no pro-rate)

1. Contact customer support if you are continuing to bid in order to fill your shipment box.
2. If you need help finding koi, you may submit a koi request.
3. Once a delivery date is confirmed, you have 7 days to change your delivery date and the koi health guarantee is void. 

(If the shipping date is postponed beyond 7 days, it will force us to move Koi back to a pond for health reasons from a holding tank. It causes extra stress on Koi. So we highly recommend that the shipping date should not be changed too much…)

Postponed shipments:

1. In the event that KKF postpones the shipment beyond 30 days of the order date, Kodama Koi Farm WILL  honor  24 hour health guarantee/DOA situations
2. In the event that the Customer postpones the shipment beyond 30 days of the order date, Kodama Koi Farm WILL NOT honor 24 hour health guarantee/DOA situations
3. If no delivery date is set within 30 days, the order will be canceled and you will be refunded the total minus the restocking fee (20%).

All koi purchases are final, and shipping charges for koi are nonrefundable.

Once we receive your order, it gets sent to the farm to pull from our big ponds and placed into the shipping area. During this process the farm will check the health status and any changes in the body. If there are any changes since the original picture taking customer service will contact you to confirm that you would like to proceed with the order.

We prepare the Koi and pack them in an oxygenated box for them to survive 24-48 hours depending on the environment.

Certain physical changes may occur from the time the koi is packed to when you receive it. During this long travel time, it common that the koi may show signs of illness but not to worry it is just stress.

Here are a list things you may experience:

Looks

• Faded color.
• Black color, especially, may get lighter due to its stress, but it will come back over the time, so no worry.

Behavior

• Under active: No/Minimal movement
• Over active: Jumpy

They are just exhausted and stressed from the long journey. Please maintain the salt level at 0.3-0.5% and provide a lot of aeration. They will recover over the time.

We are unaware of delivery times, as UPS does not provide a guaranteed delivery time. Depending on your local drivers, your delivery may arrive in the morning or late evening.

EXCEPTIONS TO KOI HEALTH GUARANTEE

In the following cases, our guarantee does not apply:

 

• When a koi is shipped after the holding period (special situations are dealt with on case-by-case basis).
• When a koi is not quarantined in a separate tank before being introduced to a new pond (see how to properly quarantine koi).
• When a koi in a customer's tank or pond dies or is injured due to the uncontrollable accidents or incidents such as jumping out of the pond, electrical shortage, predators, etc.

Read about koi quarantine tank setup and procedures

Prepare a separate tub or tank for your koi to rest.

• Although it depends on the size of koi, a 100-300 gallon tank will do. You can use blue show tanks as well.

Fill the tank with:

• fresh dechlorinated water
• well water
• or better yet water from your existing pond, providing your existing pond stock is in good condition.

Filtration system for the tank is ideal.

• If you do not have a filtration system, provide sound aeration with an air pump.

Keep the water temperature at 72 F or more.

• If the tank was small enough, one or two aquarium heaters will do the job.

Please add salt to make 0.3% concentration. (3 lb salt per 100 gallon water)

A separate quarantine tank is a must-tool for koi hobbyists.

It is possible that newly purchased koi still carry parasites, bacteria, fungus etc., even though we did our best to eliminate them. Also, if they are shipped to you in a box, they are usually extremely stressed and exhausted. It is important to provide them a nice surrounding so that they can recover from their journey quickly. Even if you bought from a trusted wholesale koi supplier you've purchased from for years, you should still quarantine.

We strongly recommend to every one of our customers the quarantining of each new koi.

Keeping and treating new koi fish in a separate quarantine tank for 21 days is the best way to decrease the risk of disease,
as well as giving them the chance to rest and recover before introducing them to your main pond.

Read all the details of koi care after receiving in your home and koi quarantine procedures and tank setup.

Here are the basic supplies you will need:

• Tank
• Net to cover the tank
• Small filter and pump
• Air pump
• Test kit: Ammonia, Nitrite, pH and Salt
• Salt
• Water thermometer
• Water conditioner, such as Ultimate, to remove chlorine, ammonia, nitrite.
• Heater

Read all the details of koi care after receiving in your home.

If you have not introduced koi to your pond for a long time, you need to be extra careful.

• Simply putting our koi into your pond may cause some trouble to either the existing koi or the new koi. It is not because the new koi is sick or because the old koi is sick. It is simply due to different immunity levels.

Without having any new introduction of koi for a long time, your pond has established its own eco system.

• When new koi that have been raised under completely different surroundings is introduced to your pond, it affects the balance of your eco system. The new koi may not have immunity to what lives in your pond, whereas, your existing koi may have developed certain immunities over a period of time, etc.

Once you have completed the normal quarantine process, you can introduce one of your old stock to the quarantine system.

• Raising the salt level to 0.5% is a good idea at this time. After making sure nothing unusual has happened in the quarantine system, you are ready to introduce your new koi to your main pond!

Read all the details of koi care after receiving in your home and how to setup koi quarantine tank.

Kodama Koi Farm will not release any new shipments of koi until after an intensive quarantine and the virus test has been completed.

When we import koi directly from breeders, our buyer's team carefully examines koi before we purchase them. Not only do we treat the koi with adequate and proper medications, using caring hands to scrape and microscope for any possible health conditions, we have also instituted the following additional quarantine procedures:

• Every new shipment is quarantined in an isolated, access-restricted greenhouse on the farm for a minimum of 30 days.
• The pond water is kept warm at around 72 degrees F. We purposefully create surroundings where bacteria, parasites, fungus and even viruses can break out.During this period, they will also be kept with KHV-free koi. These koi will beused much in the same way as canaries were used in the old coal mines - if thereare any problems in the shipment, the koi will catch it right away.
• After the quarantine, whether or not the koi becomes sick, we send them to the laboratory to make sure they do not have any undetected or invisible diseases.

No koi will be sold from this shipment until we have a clean bill of health confirmed by the laboratory.

Read all the details of our koi care and quarantining.

• Every piece of equipment we use, such as tubs and nets, are disinfected after each use.

 

• We do not accept any returns. Because we have no control on a koi's condition or a customer's pond once a koi leaves our facility, we do not allow them to return back to us.

 

• No one except our Farm Team and other experieced staff members are allowed to handle our nets, the water, and koi. Every staff member is trained to bleach their hands and arms each time they enter a pond area, before they handle pond water, and before they move to another pond.

Read all the details of our koi care and quarantining.

• Please observe your koi carefully in a koi quarantine tank for 14-21 days to see if it develops any problems.
• If you do not have a filtration system, we strongly insist that you make partial water changes every 2-3 days (about 25%).
• Add salt accordingly.
• Feed digestible food to your koi every day. Try our top-choice among koi, Manda Fu!
• Check ammonia and nitrite every day. If you find ammonia, we recommend using Ultimate.

• Do you have a sizeable social media presence?

If you've answered "Yes!", simply fill out our Wholesale Koi Supplier Form and send in your dealership information,

There are various ways to buy Koi, but we believe our online Koi Auction is one of the best sources in your hunt for Japanese Koi fish for sale. Here are some reasons why:

In Nishikigoi, who finds koi is more important than who breeds Koi. Every single koi from famous breeders are not necessarily top quality Koi. It is the experienced dealer who finds or selects top quality koi among so many choices at the excellent breeders. It is the experienced professional dealer that counts! Mamoru Kodama, chairman of Miyoshiike Co., Ltd. with his 40 yrs. of experience, handpicks all the Koi on our Koi Auction.

Being a Koi dealer for 40 years, we understand that healthy Koi is one of the most important factors for hobbyists. Therefore, we conduct very intensive quarantine method before we ship Koi.

All the information of every Koi - all 100% bred in Nishikigoi - will be open equally to every Koi hobbyist online. No reservations, no matter how low the final price is - that is the price you get! This is why we are not only the FIRST, but also TRUE Koi Auction Site!

By bidding a bit more than others, you, too, can obtain beautiful Nishikigoi!

A good, strong relationship with breeders is our fortune. It is the most important. Buying Koi from breeders is not just a matter of money, but also a matter of trust. The dealer must be trustworthy and skillful enough for the breeder to leave his precious Koi in their care. In another words, if they could not rely on you, they do not want to sell to you. The importance of this relationship grows more as the quality of Koi get higher and higher. Additionally, this good, strong, trustworthy relationship will bring us lower costs. To say that we have spent the Company's lifetime (38 years) building this relationship would not be an overstatement.

Waiting until the closing moments of an auction dramatically decreases your chance of winning an auction due to timing, disrupted internet connection, or auction system overload.

Many bidders will be trying to get their bids in. To increase your chances of winning an auction:

• Use a higher maximum bid as your personal bidding assistant. Bid the highest amount you are willing to pay for the koi. Only you know what your maximum bid amount is.

• The current bid amount will increase by one increment in your favor.

• Subsequent bids by others will be compared to your maximum bid amount.

• If your maximum bid is higher, the current bid amount will increase by one increment higher than the other person's bid amount in your favor.

• Only after someone enters a bid that is higher than your maximum bid will you be outbid.

Example: Say the starting bid for a koi is $150, and the bid increment is $10. You enter a maximum bid of $350. The new current bid is now $160 with you as the high bidder. Say another customer enters a bid of $170. Since your maximum bid amount is still higher, the new current bid will increase by one increment (in this case, to $180) in your favor. If no other bids come in, you will win the auction at $180. However, say another customer enters their own max bid of $380. You will now be outbid because your maximum bid amount is lower than the new bid. The new current bid will be $360 (one increment higher than your maximum bid) in favor of the competing bidder.

The "Buy It Now" option will no longer be available once the current bid exceeds 50% of the "Estimated Value" price.

In consideration of this, we simply ask bidders to stand conscious in and committed to their bids.

In an instance where a cancellation needs to be accepted, which will be left to the discretion of JKO, a 20% cancellation fee will be incurred.

Our goal is to provide Higher Quality Japanese Koi for sale for more reasonable price throughout the year. You can always visit our website to enjoy our new and quality Koi auctions!

Most koi auctions will end on Sundays and Wednesdays. There are some special auctions in the year that end on different days.

We use a helpful bidding system (called proxy bidding) to make bidding on auctions simple and easy. You click the bid button to place a bid after you have signed in. You can place a bid while looking at the individual koi or directly on the koi category page.

Here's how it works:

• When you place a bid, you enter the maximum amount you'd be willing to pay for this particular bid. Your maximum amount is kept confidential from other bidders.

 

• The Koi Auction bidding system compares your bid to those of the other bidders.

 

• The system places bids on your behalf, using only as much of your bid as is necessary to maintain your high bid position. The system will bid up to your maximum amount.

 

• If another bidder has a higher maximum, you'll be outbid. BUT, if no other bidder has a higher maximum, you win the Koi. And you could pay significantly less than your maximum price!

When you submit your bid, please make sure you input the right amount. No cancellations are accepted once submitted.

There are various ways to buy Koi. But we believe our Koi Auction is one of the best sources of your Japanese Koi hunt. Here are some reasons why:

• In Nishikigoi, who finds Koi is more important than who breeds Koi. It is because every single piece of Koi from famous breeders are not necessarily top quality Koi. It is important that the experienced dealer finds or selects top quality one among so many choices at the excellent breeders. It is the experienced professional dealer that counts. Mamoru Kodama, chairman of Miyoshiike Co., Ltd. with his 40 yrs. of experience, handpicks all the Koi on Koi Auction.

• All the information of every Koi will be open equally to every Koi hobbyist on the net. By bidding a bit more than others, you can obtain beautiful Nishikigoi.

• Strong and Good Relationship with Niigata Koi Breeders is our fortune. Building good relationship with good breeders in Japan is the most important. Buying Koi from breeders is not just a matter of money, but also a matter of trust. It counts if the dealer is trustworthy and skillful enough for the breeders to leave his precious Koi. In another words, if they could not rely on you, they did not want to sell it to you. This relationship gets important more and more as the quality of Koi gets higher and higher. In addition to it, good relationship with them will bring us lower cost. It is not too much to say that we have spent the whole life (38 years) of the company only to build this good relationship with the breeders in Japan. Strong and good relationship with them is our fortune.

• The Koi on our website are 100% bred in Japan, the origin country of Nishikigoi.

• No Reserve! Yes, you heard it right. We take pride in setting NO reserve. No matter low the final price is, that is the price you get. This is why we are not only the first but also TRUE Koi auction site.

• Being a Koi dealer for 40 years, we understand that healthy Koi is one of the most important factors for hobbyists. Therefore, we conduct very intensive quarantine method before we ship Koi.
