Shipping

Here at Queni Koi we pride ourselves on our prompt delivery service to get the products you need to you as soon as possible. We try to subsidise postage and packaging costs to keep prices to a minimum for our customers.

We use APC for all Koi deliveries and standard dry goods deliveries, due to them being one of only a few companies to be licensed to deliver live Fish. As they were the first to offer this service in the UK, they have many years of experience within the field.

Below are the details of the different delivery services we offer.

APC Standard Delivery (Except Koi/Filtration)

We offer FREE Next Working Day Delivery as standard on orders over £50. For orders up to £49.99 there is a Postage and Packing charge of £4.95. This is a tracked next working day delivery. We always strive to pick, pack and dispatch all orders placed before 2:00pm on the same working day.

For deliveries to Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Wight, there is a standard delivery charge of £19.95. Orders over £198.99 qualify for free delivery. For a full list of postcodes applicable to this delivery service, please click here.

After receiving feedback from our loyal customers, we have decided to now offer a Saturday delivery service. This makes it easier for those unavailable from Monday to Friday to sign for and receive their orders. This delivery service is a standard rate of £14.95 and is applicable to all orders selected for this service.

It is essential that you provide an email address/contact number for deliveries. As APC will attempted to deliver the item once at the address provided. If no-one is in to sign for it, they will keep the parcel for a week. They will then use your contact info to send a message to you to re-arrange the delivery for a day that is suitable. They will also send a confirmation message to say when the delivery has been completed.

Due to APC deliveries requiring a signature upon arrival, if no-one is home to sign for the order then perhaps a work address would be more suitable.

All Next Working Day deliveries can be delivered any time from 8am up to 5pm the next working day.

Royal Mail 1st Class Delivery

Some items will have the option of being posted out via Royal Mail 1st Class delivery at a £3.20 charge. This is for items that can fit into a small jiffy bag like sachets of treatments. This can be ideal as it can be posted through your door if no one is home to receive the delivery, as well as keeping delivery cost low. We always strive to pick, pack and dispatch all orders placed before 2:00pm on the same working day.

Since the impact of the Covid Pandemic Royal Mail 1st Class delivery service tends to be between 1-3 day service. So, if items are needed asap, it may be best to upgrade to the standard APC delivery to make sure the item arrives sooner.

Please note that Royal Mail does deliver on a Saturday at the normal rates. Compared to the £14.95 delivery charge offered by APC Saturday deliveries.

APC Koi Deliveries

We offer a pre 12pm Next Working Day delivery on koi shipments. The charge for this is £29.95 per box. Multiple koi can fit in one box, especially the small Tosai mixes we offer. We take every precaution to ensure that your koi arrive to you in the optimum condition possible. The boxes they are dispatched in are double walled, bespoke made, double bagged and insulated with the correct level of water and oxygen. If more than one box is required, we will pack accordingly to provide the best conditions possible (dependant on size/quality of koi)

Koi will not be sent unless we have confirmed a delivery date with you either by phone or by email. You must provide us with a contact number and email address.

Every Monday those that have opted for delivery will be emailed regarding deliveries for the coming week. Respond to that email with requested information. Delivery days are Wednesday or Thursday.

Please Note: Some postcodes are restricted for Koi deliveries. Please see attached pdf at the bottom of this page for the complete list. Alternatively, please click here. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Filtration/ Pallet Deliveries

For larger items like filtration deliveries will be sent via our pallet courier UPN. These are sent for Next Working day delivery from 8am – 5pm. They will be delivered by lorry with a tail lift and will be left outside your property. Pallet charges are £59.95.

Due to the pallet needing to be left at your property someone will need to be in to sign/take the delivery. Because of this will need to confirm a delivery date that will be suitable before the pallets are dispatched. Please make sure you leave an email/telephone number on the order so we can get in contact with you to arrange this.

Please note: Some postcodes are not applicable for the standard pallet charge due to extremely high costs and no available next-day service. We may be able to arrange a pallet delivery for these areas at an extra cost so if you require a pallet delivery to any of the below postcodes, please ring us for a specialised quote.
