If you have any requests for a specific delivery date please let us know as soon as possible.
Your fish will be sent by our trusted overnight Courier, who have provided us with an outstanding service for more than 10 years. The fish will be double bagged, with pure oxygen, and boxed. We deliberately set low figures as to the maximum numbers of fish in a bag to ensure the minimum possible stress on the fish. All orders packed with enough oxygen to travel for a minimum of 48 hours. Your fish will travel overnight, and be with you usually within 24 hours of packing.
We can deliver to mainland UK excluding certain parts of the Scottish Highlands, the Isle of Man and the Isle of Wight. If you live in the Scottish Highlands and are unsure if we can deliver to you or not, please send us an email with your postcode so we can check for you.
We can now offer an overwintering service so any individual koi purchased and paid for in full can be held until 1st of April at no extra cost if required. Please contact us when placing an order if you would like your koi held.
Koi are usually delivered between 8am and 12pm on your given delivery date however this is not guaranteed. Once your order has been dispatched you will receive an email confirmation with your consignment number and tracking link.
