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.

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.

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.

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.

Preferrably, yes!

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.

Depending on the location and carrier!

UPS has reduced their operations resulting in closures to many centers across the U.S. although not posted online, the facilities are permanently closed and will reject holds.

Therefore the option of UPS Customer Center has been removed.

Since we have been using FedEx as our primary carrier, we offer pick up at qualified FedEx ship centers.

This will reduce the travel time and may be beneficial to your koi. You may also qualify for a discount on shipping fee for picking up.

• Make sure it is a FedEx ship center and not a store.

• Search for your local FedEx ship center

• Provide the address location when placing your order.

• Or send us an email with the address information (EMAIL: info@kodamakoifarm.com.)

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.

(See shipping calculator to estimate your box size).

Have you paid for your koi yet ? If not, Please contact Customer Service within 3 days of winning/purchase at:

Phone: +1 (833) Koi Love (1-833-564-5683)

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 (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)

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 a standard 24 hour delivery. (Exceptions to 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.

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.
