SOS For Schools

We cannot process your order until we receive your final confirmation.
We actually send the orders to the US vendors on Fridays - so keep that deadline in mind. It takes about 5-6 weeks for most goods to arrive in Japan by Ocean freight, so we also offer an ‘Air Rush’ option as well. Due to the US supplier’s stock situation it may take longer so plan ahead if possible!

2 After we have placed your order with our US suppliers, we’ll send you an ‘Order Received Letter’ that updates you on the status of each item. It’s possible that some items will not be available, in which case, we’ll return a credit to your FBC account.

*Additionally, even though some items are confirmed as ‘OK’ on the ‘Order Received Letter’, the suppliers sometimes inform us later that items are not deliverable but ‘on backorder’. In that case we can’t do much more than keep you updated as the supplier lets us know on the items’ availability. Unfortunately, the US suppliers usually don’t give us an exact receiving date for your back ordered items.

Your Price - all inclusive!
Normally, your price will be the supplier catalog $ price at the yen rate* plus the shipping & handling fee**. That includes all the US and overseas shipping plus customs, duty etc.. A great deal! The estimate we send will let you know the exact total so you can be sure before you order.

*Yen rate will be determined by FBC in the estimate.
**Shipping & Handling fee will be charged with 15-40% (varies on each supplier) of order subtotal.

Domestic Delivery
Delivery is only ¥490*. Delivery takes about six weeks from the time you place the order till you get them at your door if the US suppliers have the stock on hand. If you are in a hurry, we can arrange air shipping as well, which is also a great deal as we send items every week. Just let us know when you need the items by. (“air shipment” option may not be available depending on vendor)
*If the ordered items are bulky or heavy, extra domestic fee might be charged later

Special Orders
If you would like to order some videos, books, DVDs (Region 1), other products that are not in the Learning Center Catalog or in “Parent-Teacher Catalog Packet”, please send us the information by Fax or e-mail. If we can get them, we will send you an estimate.
