SHIPPING FAQ
Shipping
Expand All|Collapse All
1. Can you tell me about shipping and delivering koi?
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.
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.
UPS ships directly to your door! Koi are shipped from Hawaii via UPS Next Day Air.
Depending on your local UPS driver, delivery usually arrives by 12:00 - 3:00 pm. 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.
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. Be aware that UPS hours and operations vary on the weekend. This may cause a shipping delay may result in your koi not arriving until Monday. Because of this possibility, we highly recommend that you purchase insurance for these deliveries.
KOI INSURANCE (RECOMMENDED)
We now offer insurance on all 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!
For all Kodama koi, All sales are final.
If a cancellation is made due to customer circumstances, a 20 percent restocking fee will be applied.
This policy applies to all koi, including those purchased during events or sales.
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.
Air Cargo shipments are made on Thursday & Fridays only.
*Hawaiian Airlines is our primary provider.
All Hawaiian Air Cargo shipments will be sent pre-paid on Kodama Koi Farm’s account. Shipping must be paid prior to shipment.
Shipping charge includes "Handling" Fee = $25 per box
Other providers may be used based on discretion and flight schedule from HNL. To request a different airlines, please provide us with the flight schedule when inquiring.
Hawaiian Airlines availability is based on flights from HNL on THURSDAYS
Our holding policy requires customers to pick up their koi shipment within 2 hours after the plane has landed.
Please note: This delivery option is ONLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU HAVE A HIGH VALUE ORDER in which an airport pick-up can minimize risk.
Cost reduction on delivery is significant only if there are multiple boxes. Smaller quantity orders are still suggested to be pick-up at your local UPS Customer Center if travel time reduction is of concern.
If the food/supply is able to fit in the same box as your koi, yes, we may ship it together.
The Supply Warehouse and Farm are located in 2 different states.
Primarily, Mr. Kodama Koi Food is the only supply available from the Farm.
Other products that may be available on occasion include Niigata Water Bio and select medicines. Please inquire with Customer Support.
All other food and medicine products will be shipped from the Florida Warehouse via UPS Ground (you may upgrade by request).
We have a good selection of Koi products in the Supply section of our website. Please take a moment to visit our Supplies page.
Also, please look at your shopping cart. If there is space in your box, you will find the link that shows what additional items can fit in the box.
It is important to open the box and release the koi as soon as possible! The koi surely will be stressed and exhausted from their long journey to their new home.
Please let us know after winning the auction if you will be adding more koi before paying.
We understand it is important that you combine your winnings to save on shipping costs, therefore we can hold the koi up to 30 days before making delivery.

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 (for value over $500 please purchase KOI INSURANCE)
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)
Contact customer support if you are continuing to bid in order to fill your shipment box.
If you need help finding koi, you may submit a koi request.
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 reasonsfrom 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:
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
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

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 a standard 24 hour delivery. (Exceptions to UPS delays & Puerto Rico deliveries 2-day transit)
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.
