If you do not ship your koi within 30 days, we will bill you for boarding fees and risk loss of your koi permanently if boarding fees are not paid. The koi price of the won auction will the be refunded to you.  You may combine two weeks’ worth of auctions into one shipment.  IF there is good communication we can extend this on a case by case basis.
