Buying
Hand Select Koi
“...prime
quality at a fraction of the normal price.”
If you
cannot join us on the 2012 Koi Buying Tour, you can still benefit from the combined
buying power of the tour group. We will select the fish you
order and get them delivered for you. Whether it is a
single good Tosai, a show stopper Sansai or a whole collection
of koi, we will select the fish for you and deliver it to your
home anywhere in the world. How
they look
How it works
For
the uninitiated, here is how it works to get your imported Koi
at the very best price possible:
1.
You contact us by phone or email or Skype and give us your wish
list. We will discuss your requirements and marry your
expectations of size and quality with realities like and price
and delivery costs. You need to specify your requirement and
give us a budget. Things like variety, age (tosai, nisai,
sansai etc) and sex may be specified. You may want your fish to
come from a specific koi breeder in Japan or be of a specific
bloodline. Please also make sure to specify “brood stock”
if you want the fish for breeding – we are good at that.
If you need assistance with these decisions, we are there to
help you.
2. Payment
of your budget amount is required by cash deposit or bank
transfer. The sooner the better, because your order can only be
acknowledged when payment is received and we stick to a first
come first choice policy. We cannot venture to negotiate on
your behalf if we do not have the amount of cash in hand. We
have to prepare to pay a deposit or loose the deal.
3. In
the case of high valued koi, pictures of the individual fish
selected will be e-mailed to you as soon as possible for you to
accept or reject. This however may not be possible. You
use an opportunity or loose it.
4. Your
fish will be brought to South Africa, quarantined for two weeks
minimum, treated for parasites, tested for KHV and shipped to
your address, if you so wish. Your budget must make provision
for these expenses so that there will be no additional charges
to surprise you.
5.
If
you want your fish delivered to another country, we will do
just than. Talk to us. Our agents are happy to accommodate you.
We will also use our network to get assistance near you if
needed.
