Consol and Hand Picked Koi
By placing an order with or buying fish directly from the breeders via Nishikigoi-export you agree that you understand that fish purchased from the breeders via Nishikigoi-export are done entirely at your own risk. And that Nishikigoi-export can in no way be held responsible for the health and caring of the fish once you have purchased them in Japan, whether leaving them with the breeders to grow on or during shipping or at their final destination, or for the health of existing stocks you may have.

All fish are sold as seen and whilst every effort is made to provide healthy fish, the health of hand picked or consol fish cannot be guaranteed.

Nishikigoi-export recommends isolating new arrivals from existing stocks in separate systems for an adequate period of time.

D.O.A (dead on arrival). Claims must be made within 24 hours of the fish’s arrival. Claims will only be accepted for fish value and not the freight costs. Claims of less than 10% of total fish value will not be considered.

Nishikigoi-export cannot be held responsible for claims and accept no responsibility for loss of fish beyond this point either to new arrivals or existing stocks.

Dead fish should be photographed and kept until discussed with a member of Nishikigoi-export . Failure to do this will void the claim.

Nishikigoi-export cannot guarantee claims as this must be negotiated with each breeder and it will be the breeder’s decision if he replaces the claim. If agreed, claims will be replaced with fish to the same value and shipped at customers cost on the next available shipment to them.

If you cancel a shipment once the order has been processed you will be charged for any costs that have been incurred while dealing with your order.

Please ensure the correct arrival procedures for your fish to ensure a good recovery from their shipment
time. Nishikigoi-export can supply you with recommendations for this.
