      Unhappy Lost Wakin (now found)

      I ordered six Wakin from Lee Family Koi and they were due to arrive today by noon. They were packed up yesterday morning and shipped DHL. They never came. After many calls to DHL they are telling me that they will be here tomorrow. I sure hope they will be ok.

      Good to hear! I have heard they are hardy but I have never received fish through the mail before. Don't know if I will again. It's very stressful all the way around...

      Are they insured? I don't know how you do it! I would be ready to strangle the next DHL guy I see..... I am sorry to hear this, and I wish you luck!

      Did you talk to Lee? I'm sure he bagged them with enough oxygen to hold them over. They should be fine.

      Wakin are tough. I had Becky Lyle ship me some a few years ago from Washington (state).......and they were lost overnight....in transit for almost two whole days. I was upset....to put it mildly.

      They finally got 'found'....and after releasing them into their pond.....the little chits were spawning within an hour. Never seen anything like it.

      Sonny the last time I ordered Wakins they went from New York to Chicago at that point something happened to the plane they were being transfered too so they sent them back to New York where the dealer picked them up. Held them for a few days. He repacked them, sent them again. I was so worried but when they arrived all fifty of them were in excellent condition. Wakins are tough little boogers. Bob

      Ya'll are great! Thanks to you I am optimistic that the Wakin's mis-adventure will turn out ok. Maybe I'll even be able to sleep tonight!

      They just called! They have the box at their counter. I'm going to pick it up to save time but it is still a half hour away. Please think some good thoughts for the fishes.

      Hope they'll be okay. I've contemplated ordering offline but haven't done so yet for fear of receiving dead fish.

      Well, they are home and in the quarantine tank. They look really good considering their ordeal. One of them has some abrasions on its head but that is the only physical signs I see. We'll see how they acclimate. I am so relieved right now.
