VIDEO – Packing Koi and Goldfish for Shipment

By Casey LeFever on July 27, 2014 in Around The Farm

Ever wondered what goes into preparing and packaging your live Koi and Goldfish for shipment? Check out this time lapse of one afternoon of packing at Blue Ridge Fish Hatchery. Over 120 boxes of live Koi and Goldfish were packed on this day, then shipped UPS Next Day Air to a dealer near you!

Customers Say:

Blue Ridge Fish Hatchery plays an important role in our success at Nelson Water Gardens and Nursery by providing us with outstandingly healthy and beautiful goldfish and koi. Blue Ridge’s butterfly koi are second to none, and their sarasa comets set the domestic standard.

For more than fifteen years Nelson’s has relied on Randy and Rick to ship only quality fish. This saves us from extensive and expensive quarantines, and gives us the confidence to know we are providing our customers with the best pets for their water garden or koi pond.

The office staff is professional and a pleasure to work with – They’re just darn nice people. Blue Ridge’s willingness and ability to ship Monday through Friday has helped us meet our customer’s expectations of having lots of fish to choose from whenever they visit us. It is not unusual for us to get two shipments in a week to keep our customers happy.

Another great product from Blue Ridge is their pelleted food. We have kept our customer’s fish happy by selling nearly three tons of it every season! Thank you: Randy, Rick, and crew for your great service, quality product, and friendly partnership in our success.
