SHIPPING INFORMATION:
Delivery options
We have the following delivery choices:
A) SAL Small Packet (a.k.a. Economy Airmail)
average delivery time 2 - 6 weeks depending
on the destination (No Insurance, No
tracking
info, No refund in case of non-delivery)
SAL delivery is the delivery as known
as
"economy airmail". This delivery
exploits unbooked air cargo space for
regular
airmail. Therefore, delivery time is
a bit
slower and vary, compared to regular
airmail,
takes about 2 to 6 weeks. Sometimes
this
delivery employs surface mail when
the air
cargo space is expected unavailable
for a
certain time like Christmas busy gift
season.
(This service is not available for
South
Korea, Taiwan, Venezela, Burnei and
some
countries in Africa, Mid East Asia.
For more
details please ask)
A+) SAL Small Packet Registered
average delivery time 2 - 6 weeks depending
on the destination(with tracking number, Insurance maximum
6,000yen)
The SAL delivery with registered tracking
number, so that you can track it on
Japan Post's web, also in case of non-delivery they will
refund maximum 6,000yen in accordance
with
the shipping declaration value on the
shipping
label. *This is very reccommended delivery.
A') SAL Parcel Post (a.k.a. Economy Airmail)
average delivery time 2 - 6 weeks depending
on the destination (with tracking number,
No Insurance, No refund in case of
non-delivery)
The SAL Parcel Post is the delivery
for bulk
and volume order. While the Small Packet
SAL can ship only up to 2.0kg with
dimentional
size (L+W+H) less than 90cm, Parcel
Post
SAL can pack more in one box, while
the rate
is higher. For the most of countries
we can
pack max 30.0kg with dimentional size
(L+
L+W+W+H) up to 275cm - 300cm depending
on
the destination. This delivery does
not come
with any insurance and refund policy
but
can be tracked on Japan Post's web. * We do not recomment this delivery to USA/Brazil/Indonesia
due to smaller size regulation (L+L+W+W+H
= less than 200cm), even multiple box
shipping
can not beat EMS one box shipping fee.
B) AIRMAIL Small Packet (a.k.a. Regular Airmail)
average delivery time 1 - 2 weeks depending
on the destination (No Insurance, No tracking info, No refund
in case of non-delivery)
AIR delivery is what we commonly know
as
"regular airmail". This delivery
uses exclusively booked air cargo space
so
that the shipment will be loaded onto
the
airplane as soon as it arrives at the
airport.
B+) AIRMAIL Small Packet Registered
average delivery time 2 - 6 weeks depending
on the destination (with tracking number,
No Insurance, No refund in case of
non-delivery)
We basically do not use this service, because
the shipping fee is higher than EMS. This
is because the AIRMAIL Parcel is quite conventional
service which having been not renewed for
quite long time, while Japan post started
EMS aiming to replace it. We only use this
delivery for the country to which both SAL
and EMS are not available but the item can not be packed in small packet
(ex. Bosnia and Herzegovina). This delivery can also be tracked on Japan Post's web.
B') AIRMAIL Parcel Post (a.k.a. Regular Airmail)
average delivery time 2 - 6 weeks depending
on the destination (with tracking number,
No Insurance, No refund in case of non-delivery)
We basically do not use this service,
because
the shipping fee is higher than EMS.
This
is because the AIRMAIL Parcel is quite
conventional
service which having been not renewed
for
quite long time, while Japan post started
EMS aiming to replace it. We only use
this
delivery for the country to which both
SAL
and EMS are not available but the item can not be packed in small packet
(ex. Bosnia and Herzegovina). This delivery can also be tracked on Japan Post's web.
C) EMS (a.k.a. International express mail)
average delivery time 3 - 5 days depending
on the destination (With Tracking number
and Insurance which covers maximum
20,000yen
in accrodance with shipping declaration
value
on the shipping label)
EMS is the most reliable and fast delivery
among the choices Japan post offers.
This
delivery is given the first priority
in handling
so that it will be loaded on the airplane
in less than 48 hrs from dispatch.
We would
strongly recommend this delivery for
the
order with high declaration valuable
or urgent
need. Tracking information is available
on
Japan Post's web.
D) Surface Small Packet registered(We have stopped using non-registered Surface
Small Packet as of January 2011)
average delivery time 2 - 6 months(with tracking number, Insurance maximum
6,000yen)
Surface delivery is what commomly called
as "sea mail". Delivery is
slow,
approximate 2 month to 3 months, and
sometimes
longer, depending on the destination.
However
the delivery rate is the least expensive
among the other choices. It has only
two
shipping weight band, either 1.0kg/770yen
or 2.0kg/1080yen worldwide flat rate.
We
recommend this delivery for small but
very
heavy items, of which value is not
so high.
This delivery can also be tracked on Japan Post's web.
E) Fedex (International Economy)
average delivery time 3 to 5 days depending
on the destination
With regard to the postage,you can
choose
either paid in advance (means RT charges
Fedex postage when we ship) or you
reserve
the charge and pay it later directly
to Fedex
from your Fedex account. For the Fedex
delivery
fee, please ask us with your wish list
so
that we can calculate the exact rate.
If
you prefer recipient's reserved charge,
please
ask your local Fedex Agent for more
details
about it. They will tell you the approximate
rate if you tell them the box size
and weight.
We can measure the expected shipping

4: Best and fast way to receive your items
Just give it a second thought and make comparison
how quickly you would like to receive your
order and how much the postage for choosing
delivery option.
If there is more than one item on back order
for your order, there are two choices:
Make one ship when all the items are ready
We will wait until we have all the items
in your order before shipping any of them.
For example, if you order one item already
in stock and another temporariy sold out
or Pre-order, we will ship both items to
you when the special order/Pre-order item
becomes available. When this happens you
will only be charged for one delivery. Please
be noted the maximum order holding period
is 30 days and also this 30 days is only
applicable within the same month.
Deliver items as they become available.
Each item you order will be shipped
as it
becomes available. Your delivery
charges
will increase but, to save you
money, we
will ship items as soon as we
obtain them
while not making any more deliveries
than
necessary. |

page" are updated every morning of Japan time. Therefore
more and more items are sold while shop is
open. If some items are sold out, we will
get them as soon as possible from suppliers
if they are available. However in some cases
the items are temporarily sold out/unavailable
so that we have to cancel these items in
your order.
(Availability) + (Processing) + (Packing)
= Total ordering time we need before shipping
The following is general idea of availability
for back order:
- Regular(1 to 3 days): The items which are in stock now or regularly
supplied 2 or 3 times a week. (of Major manufacturers
i.e, Tamiya, Hasegawa, Bandai, Fujimi, Aoshima)
- Monthly Supply (2 to 4 weeks) : The items which are supplied one a month
or less (Smaller business size company i.e,
Aterier Infinite, Zitader)
- Unavailable (not expected to arrive within 30 days) : The item currently not available for ordering.
If you order this item, we will either remove
it or contact you by E-mail.
- Limited (a.k.a. One off) : One off items that are sold out already therefore no longer available.
We may have to cancel part of your order if it includes the item(s) in
"Unavailable" or "Limited" status. In that case we
proceed with the remaining part of your order.
For the items in regular/Monthly Supply,
we will hold your order until we get all
the items ready to ship in your order.

them as soon as possible (at additional cost). If you are ordering items with different

FAQ:
1. How much is the shipping cost to my country?
A: Shipping cost will be determined by the
size & weight. There are several choices
available. If you could submit E-mail to
the inquiry address with the items you are
thinking to buy, we will calculate estimate
cost of shipping & other costs required
for the order. (We currently working on the
new web system where you can see the postage
to each/all the items you put in the web
cart)
2. What is the available choices for the
shipping?
We have the following delivery choices:
A) SAL Small Packet (a.k.a. Economy Airmail)
average delivery time 2 - 6 weeks depending
on the destination (No Insurance, No tracking
info, No refund in case of non-delivery)
SAL delivery is the delivery as known as
"economy airmail". This delivery
exploits unbooked air cargo space for regular
airmail. Therefore, delivery time is a bit
slower and vary, compared to regular airmail,
takes about 2 to 6 weeks. Sometimes this
delivery employs surface mail when the air
cargo space is expected unavailable for a
certain time like Christmas busy gift season.
(This service is not available for Korea,
Taiwan, Venezela, Burnei. For more details
please ask)
A+) SAL Small Packet Registered
average delivery time 2 - 6 weeks depending
on the destination(with tracking number, Insurance maximum
6,000yen)
The SAL delivery with registered tracking
number, so that you can track it on Japan Post's web, also in case of non-delivery they will
refund maximum 6,000yen in accordance with
the shipping declaration value on the shipping
label. *This is very reccommended delivery.
A') SAL Parcel Post (a.k.a. Economy Airmail)
average delivery time 2 - 6 weeks depending
on the destination (with tracking number,
No Insurance, No refund in case of non-delivery)
The SAL Parcel Post is the delivery for bulk
and volume order. While the Small Packet
SAL can ship only up to 2.0kg with dimentional
size (L+W+H) less than 90cm, Parcel Post
SAL can pack more in one box, while the rate
is higher. For the most of countries we can
pack max 30.0kg with dimentional size (L+
L+W+W+H) up to 275cm - 300cm depending on
the destination. This delivery does not come
with any insurance and refund policy but
can be tracked on Japan Post's web. * We do not recomment this delivery to USA/Brazil/Indonesia
due to smaller size regulation (L+L+W+W+H
= less than 200cm), even multiple box shipping
can not beat EMS one box shipping fee.
B) AIRMAIL Small Packet (a.k.a. Regular Airmail)
average delivery time 1 - 2 weeks depending
on the destination (No Insurance, No tracking info, No refund
in case of non-delivery)
AIR delivery is what we commonly know as
"regular airmail". This delivery
uses exclusively booked air cargo space so
that the shipment will be loaded onto the
airplane as soon as it arrives at the airport.
B+) AIRMAIL Small Packet Registered
average delivery time 1 - 2 weeks depending
on the destination (with tracking number, Insurance maximum
6,000yen)
The AIRMAIL delivery with registered tracking
number, so that you can track it on Japan Post's web, also in case of non-delivery they will
refund maximum 6,000yen in accordance with
the shipping declaration value on the shipping
label.
B') AIRMAIL Parcel Post (a.k.a. Regular Airmail)
average delivery time 2 - 6 weeks depending
on the destination (with tracking number,
No Insurance, No refund in case of non-delivery)
We basically do not use this service, because
the shipping fee is higher than EMS. This
is because the AIRMAIL Parcel is quite conventional
service which having been not renewed for
quite long time, while Japan post started
EMS aiming to replace it. We only use this
delivery for the country to which both SAL
and EMS are not available but the item can not be packed in small packet
(ex. Bosnia and Herzegovina). This delivery can also be tracked on Japan Post's web.
C) EMS (a.k.a. International express mail)
average delivery time 3 - 5 days depending
on the destination (With Tracking number
and Insurance which covers maximum 20,000yen
in accrodance with shipping declaration value
on the shipping label)
EMS is the most reliable and fast delivery
among the choices Japan post offers. This
delivery is given the first priority in handling
so that it will be loaded on the airplane
in less than 48 hrs from dispatch. We would
strongly recommend this delivery for the
order with high declaration valuable or urgent
need. Tracking information is available on
Japan Post's web.
D) Surface Small Packet registered(We have stopped using non-registered Surface
Small Packet as of January 2011)
average delivery time 2 - 6 months(with tracking number, Insurance maximum
6,000yen)
Surface delivery is what commomly called
as "sea mail". Delivery is slow,
approximate 2 month to 3 months, and sometimes
longer, depending on the destination. However
the delivery rate is the least expensive
among the other choices. It has only two
shipping weight band, either 1.0kg/770yen
or 2.0kg/1080yen worldwide flat rate. We
recommend this delivery for small but very
heavy items, of which value is not so high.
This delivery can also be tracked on Japan Post's web.
E) Fedex (International Economy)
average delivery time 3 to 5 days depending
on the destination
With regard to the postage,you can choose
either paid in advance (means RT charges
Fedex postage when we ship) or you reserve
the charge and pay it later directly to Fedex
from your Fedex account. For the Fedex delivery
fee, please ask us with your wish list so
that we can calculate the exact rate. If
you prefer recipient's reserved charge, please
ask your local Fedex Agent for more details
about it. They will tell you the approximate
rate if you tell them the box size and weight.
We can measure the expected shipping dimension
and weight. This delivery is trackable on
Fedex web site, also fully guaranteed and refundable in
accordance with Fedex own policy.
3. How can we trust your shipping cost?
A: RAINBOW TEN will clearly announce that
we do not gain any profit from shipping cost,
regardless of the type. The shipping cost
we charge to the customer is exactly the
cost we pay to the due agencies. If we ask
300yen for shipping, we pay 300yen to the
postal office and so on. Our personnel at
the shipping section have a great knowledge
how to save the postage. Shipping options
& method, packing & other requirements
require a comprehensive knowledge, as it
varies a lot where the shipment is going
considering the size & weight, shape
& other. Please trust our personnel.
They are quite experienced, know almost all
the regulations at every country.
4. Sometimes your shipping quote & actual
shipping cost is different. How could that
be happening?
A: We calculate the shipping cost using
actual
items in inquiry when the items are
in stock.
However, to maximize speedy reply,
we sometimes
calculate the shipping cost by each
items
net weight + possible packing weight
when
some items in inquiry are out of stock.
Therefore,
when we have received the items &
calculate
the shipping, that may be different
from
our advised shipping cost. That is
the reason
we advise the shipping cost as "estimated".
We try our best to calculate as precise
shipping
as possible in quote. For TAMIYA SEPARATE
PARTS (SPRUE/RC SPECIAL PARTS) , especially
the quantity is big, it is very difficult
to calculate the shipping cost as we
do not
have them in stock until they are actually
ordered. TAMIYA SEPARATE PARTS (SPRUE/RC
SPECIAL PARTS) are delivered from TAMIYA
only after we placed an official order
with
TAMIYA. Therefore, in some cases shipping
quote for TAMIYA parts may employ our
empirical
guess. In consequences, regardless
of our
shipping quote, that is exact cost
we pay
to the postal agencies, exact shipping
cost
required for the order to be delivered
to
the destination.
5. Would there be any loss in separate shipping?
A: Actually if the items in the order
are
all in stock, and your shipment was
split
into two or more packages, that means
we
selected the best way to save the shipping
cost. SAL/AIR SP (small package size
delivery)
is very reasonable method of shipping
for
the size & weight, but they have
a limit
either in size (dimensional total 90cm)
&
in weight (2.0kg). If the shipment
goes over
the limit, the shipment will be sent
back
or treated as Parcel (large size delivery)
which costs more than EMS in most cases.
Another case is that if there is an
item
that is not in stock & the entire
order
is waiting for the item, we may regard
the
item as unavailable if a certain time
is
passed. In that case we would ask if
the
customer would like the item on back
order.
In that case shipping cost may be increased
due to the separate shipping, however,
the
difference is only 80yen to 280yen
in SAL
delivery. Of course we respect the
customer's
choice whether to wait or ship, but
if you
wouldn't appreciate unnecessary waiting,
please request us to ship "what
we have
for now & back order the rest".
This can be very efficient in SAL delivery.
SAL, AIRMAIL, SURFACE have SP category
(Small
Packet). SP is the reasonable shipment
that
allows les than 2.0kg shipment and
dimentional
size total (H+W+T) less than 90cm (see
below).
This SP shipping is mainly used for
our "Reasonable
Way Not Surface" if the items
can be
packed in the size.
From the year 2003, Japan Post have updated
their policy and they allow upto 5.0kg SP shipment only for "Printed
Matters" that means books and magazines. This new
deal works quite in the favor for heavy
book
orders. [Note: Canada post will not
accept
this 5.0kg shipment. They take only
2.0kg
shipment as before]

6. When & what time your on-line store
opens?
A: Our on-line store is open from 9:00AM
to 18:00PM JAPAN time. We also have a weekend
off (Saturday & Sunday). We try to respond
to all the E-mails received on the day, but
there would be some cases that we are unable
to if the inquiry or order is complicated.
7. What if my order is missing!?
A: We regret that even though the service
of the postal agencies has shown a great
improvement, there is still some non-delivery
occured in our long business carrier, especially
in SAL SP. As we have mentioned earlier in
this section, SAL SP & AIR SP & SURFACE
SP are not insured, treated just like a letter.
If you go & ask the post man if your
letter is trackable, the answer should be
definitely "No". Therefore, if
the shipment goes missing, we have no way
to track the package if it was shipped by
SAL/AIR/SURFACE SP. These deliveries also
do not require reception signature of the
recipient so that we also have no way to
know if the shipment is received by a due
recipient or a wong recipient. Due to all
those reason, we are unable to guarantee
the SAL/AIR/SURFACE SP. We would recognize
the customer's selection of either of the
SP delivery as a full responsibility of customer
in case of missing. In spite of these terms
& conditions, more than 60% of our existing
customers are regularly using SP delivery
and successfully receive the package without
problem. EMS has no non-delivery in our past
10years business carrier. SAL/AIR/SURFACE
P (big size delivery) can be insured with
extra pay, however, those delivery costs
more if insurance is attached compared with
EMS that covers upto 20,000yen value insurance
without any extra pay.
8. I don't want to pay import tax!!
A: Please contact Information desk.
9. I saw the items I want were in the list
but when I placed an order, you told me the
items are out. How could that happen!?
A: Yes, we would apologie these frustrating
experience caused. There are various
reasons
that causes these unavailability. First,
we receive your E-mail when we open
the on-line
store at 9:00AM Japan time. We collect
the
items from shop shelves in your order
even
before the shop is open at 11:00AM
so if
you see the list just after 9:00AM
Japan
time, that list sure reflects our actual
inventory, except the quantity that
will
not be indicated on our system. Of
course
whenever we have a time we receive
the new
E-mails while we are on line, we process
your order immediately. However, once
our
shop is open, we have visiting customers
too, and if they buy the items, as
time goes
by, the stock inventory is getting
less reflected
the actual stock inventory as our list
is
updated only in the morning. Therefore,
some
items maybe sold out on the day, and
not
available for immediate shipping. We
will
sure contact our source of supplies
immediately
for the items on order, however, there
may
be some cases that the stock we had
was the
last available stock & no more
can be
found from our source of supplies/manufacturers.
In that case, we have to apologise
our customers
to tell the unavailability. Please
kindly
understand when this happens to your
order.
Just please remember RAINBOW TEN is
doing
the best to get as many items in your
order
as possible.
10. After weeks of waiting I was told the
items that was supposed to arrive is unavailable.
Can you tell me why?
A: Some manufacturers, especially smaller
companies, have a very limited production
schedule. These companies are usually
operated
by only a couple of people, unlike
their
name impresses. These companies are
very
busy all the time, have no time to
reply
each inquiry or phone call. Therefore,
we
sometimes leave the order to our source
of
supplies. They keep our order in the
list
& get them when they have a bunch
from
those small companies. In most cases
this
consigning system works fine, however,
because
of the lack in communication, sometimes
the
items will never arrive even when we
were
sure advised the item would be arriving
soon.
Customers may get frustrated against
these
situation, but please kindly understand
so
are we.
11. I understand that you can not hold the
order too long. But just tell me how you
judge the order should be shipped even when
some of the items in the order have not arrived!?
A: We know customers would like as
economic
shipping as possible. We do keep that
in
our mind all the time. However, unavailable
items will never arrive even if we
wait hundreds
of days. There are a numerous number
of manufacturers
in Japan, and combination of the items
in
an order is of no doubt variety. Some
manufacturers
have a good response & others don't.
Therefore, once some items are sold
out,
we send fax to each manufacturers for
the
items. Some reply us on the same day
but
others never. Therefore, we have to
judge
unavailability for efficient shipping.
We
would admit that combined shipping
is very
good & reasonable, clever way to
buy
the things from foreign countries,
however,
we would not think a month long waiting
is
not as economic as shipping what available
for then. We will advise the unavailable
items in our delivery notice, to be
sent
one day before the dispatch of order.
12. I used EMS delivery, and received your
delivery notice. In the E-mail you said you
shipped my order yesterday. However, the
EMS tracking number you attached in the E-mail
is not working on the web. Please explain why it is not working. Have you
shipped my order for sure?
A: EMS tracking system starts working after
your shipment has arrived at Tokyo airport,
and registered as a loading cargo there.
Until then, your shipment is not registered
in the system. If your EMS tracking number
is not working on the web, your shipment
is still on the way to Tokyo. When you receive
the delivery notice E-mail today saying "Your
order has been shipped today", your
shipment left our shop late afternoon. Your
shipment then heads to Tokyo right away,
and usually arrives at the airport late midnight.
Therefore, it usually takes 24 to 48 hours
until EMS tracking number starts working
after we send you a delivery notice. Please
kindly wait a while until it works.
13. Do you ship paints like Gunze(Creos/TAMIYA/Finisher's
etc)?
Due to reinforced shipping policy by Japan
post, we are unable to ship any liquid
form
painting materials. However, some Enamel
and Acrylic type might be allowed for
export
depending on MSDS (Material Safety
Data Sheet)
& local regulation of the country
of
destination. Please read
14. It looks Museum Collection & Finisher's
paints are very slow for back order. Why?
A: Unlike the other major manufacturers like
TAMIYA, those small companies do not
sell
their items via wholesalers so that
supplies
can only be gotten via direct order.
They
impose minimum order for each order.
Therefore,
we usually order in bunch once a month.
Exact
delivery date is not fixed because
the deliveries
are arranged according to the release
date
of their new items. We would recommend
you
should not back order any of the items
from
those small company items if you want
the
order soon. For your reference, we
here list
the slow supply company: Museum Collection,
Finishers, Clipper Model, Artisan Mori,
AMS,
Takahashi Modeling and other minors.
15. I am little worried to place an order
because the postal service in my country
is very bad. Do you think if there will be
any problem if I order from you? For your
info, my country is Brasil.
Well...We would say most of the order will
arrive just fine, but also say that there
are some countries where postal servide is
not very good. We would say the countries
in South America, Africa and Russia have
not so much realiable postal service. We
would recommend the customer choose non-SAL
delivery. Please kindly learn our terms &
conditions for non-delivery disclaimer. Brasil
is getting safer destination after our repeated
claims for non-delivery SAL shipment. However,
these days we have seen unusual missing/lost
shipment to Russia.
16. What is your subscription service all about?
A : The subscription order is a service where
we ship every new issue monthly upon release.
The price indicated in the subscription page
is for a single issue, per month price. This
payment will need to be paid monthly. We
don't offer either yearly subscription or
better price in longer period because our
monthly subscription price bears almost no
profit. Once you applied to this service,
we will continue your subscription until
you request us to cancel it.
17. I usually use PAYPAL as payment method. Sometimes
you say "We can not back order
it if
payment is PAYPAL". I understand
you
have some inconveniences in this but
could
you tell why it is?
A: Yes, unlike credit card payment, we need
to have all the items in stock and
calcurate
the cost before processing order if
payment
is paypal. We can usually take back
orders
for books and some minor items that
arrive
just once a month or less. However,
obviously
we can not do this for paypal payment
as
we can not wait something never arrive,
and
if we do this, there seems to be more
chance
that you may want to cancel your order
while
waiting. If these kind of cancelation
occures
frequently, we will eventually have
many
of minor items that are doomed to be
dead
stock. So please understand that we
accept
your back order in less chance in paypal
payment than credit card payment. Sorry
we
have to do this at our discretion.
18. How do I place a reservation order?
A: Please list the future release item
you
would like in the order form. You don't
need
any RT numbers which we usually show
in our
inventory list. We would be greatly
appreciated
still, if you could find them in the
MODEL
NEWS, RC NEWS and N/HO NEWS because
the items
listed there are already confirmed
to come
out by our source of supplies. Of course
our update of those pages are not up-to-date
sometime, so we can gradly take your
pre-order
for the items not listed in our site
too.
In that case, please make sure to provide/list
the manufacturer name, Item code (if
possible),
scale, and name of the item. If you
are not
sure about the item being sure to come
out
or just a rumor, please ask info@rainbowten.co.jp
to learn more about the latest info
we have.
19. I have placed an advance order (pre-order/reservation)
and wanna know when you need the payment?
Will you need any kind of down payment
for
the advanced order?
A: No sir, we do not need any advance payment
or down payment, or even Paypal payment
in
advance for the reservation order.
We will
start processig your order as soon
as the
item on reservation arrived. Therefore,
until
then, no money transaction will take
place.
If you use Paypal payment, you will
receive
Paypal money request E-mail after the
item
on reservation comes out.
20. Do you have any discount policy for dealters?
A: Yes. We have substantial discount:
One order amounted to over (sub total):
100,000yen = 10% off
200,000yen = 15% off
300,000yen = 20% off
This discount policy will not additionally
applied to any existing discount such
as
BANDAI plastic model 20% off, N/HO
10% off.
We will not ask any of credit card
payment
handling (normally 5%) so practically
the
effective discount can be regarded
maximum
as much as 25%.
Once you are registered as a dealer, we will
apply designated discount rate to your future
order regardless of the amount of order.
These discount rate for dealers will be updated
to increase/decrease according to the total
purchase at every end of quarter fiscal year.
21. I have currently have my credit card
numbers on file with you. Is it possible
that I use Paypal in the futre?
A: Of course you can. But please be
advised
that once Paypal is selected as a method
of payment, we will delete your credit
card
number from our data base so that you
need
to advise your credit card numbers
&
exp date again when you would like
the payment
back to credit card. We keep only one
payment
method registered to one customer.
Therefore,
on our file, Paypal and credit card
can not
be registered together under one customer.
As the same with credit card, we can
not
register Visa and Master under one
customer
number. Please kindly understand.
22. Is there any advantage in placing pre-order,
except for the point that you won't miss
the kit in the first supply..I mean, any
advantage in pricing?
A: Yes there is, for TAMIYA items (RC
related
items excluded), pre-order will be
10% off.
Also for the other makers' new release
items,
even when the sub total is less than
3000yen,
there will be no handling commission
300yen
will be charged.
23. I would like to order TAMIYA parts with
7 digits number indicated in the back of
the instruction manual. But I just can not
find them in your listing. How can I order
them?
A: Those parts are not available as
our shop
stock. Those parts will be specially
ordered
from TAMIYA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTRE
upon
official order. If you would like to
know
the price and availability, please
supply
us with the 7 numbers and description
of
the parts if you know.
24. There are so many fantastic and attracvite
toys in Japan. However, RT seems not to be
able to carry all of them, even when those
toy items are wide spread and extremely popular
in Japan.Do you have any plan to expand the
range of toy replated items?
A: We do understand what you feel.
Some toy
related items look so good and never
fail
to attract our attention. Please note
that
we Rainbow ten started our business
as a
specialized retailer of the plastic
models
in the beginning, and so far we have
extablished
yet-deep contacts & supplies of
the models
for the last decade, with powerful
wholesalers
& manufacturers. The sad thing
is that
the modeling industry is kind of exclusive,
unopened. Once you lost a certain creit
from
sources, they will cut down the supplies
of new release items. This means we
need
to buy as much items as possible from
our
contracted sources. As is the same,
Toy industry
has its own rules. Therefore, even
some popular
toys do not flow into our source, we
can
not rely on toy sources because their
primarl
customers are toy shops, and they are
not
willing to sell to the strangers. That's
why we can not get some toy items in
sufficient
amount. Modeling source & Toy counterparts
would sound similar, or maybe some
people
think they are identical, which is
not correct.
Those two industries are completely
different,
isolated some way. Please understand
we need
to focus on the modeling supplies fundamentary.
25. I have placed an order (inquiry) but
have not heard back for quite a while.
A: Please note that our dept is not
open
on weekend (Saturday and Sunday) also
take
a off on National Holiday. Because
National
Holidays do not fall on the same date
as
in foreign countries, you may think
we do
not reply on business day. Either way
we
can reply within 2 days. Another possibility
is that your E-mail may be lost in
transit.
For official order, we will send you
the
confirmation of reception of the order
as
soon as we receive it on our PC. If
you have
not received this confiramtion, your
order
E-mail is still on server (before downloaded)
or not received. For inquiry, if your
inquiry
is about the availability of the items
which
we don't have in stock now, it may
take sometime
to answer because we need to wait for
the
wholesalers/source of supplies/manufacturers
reply. One more case is that your E-mail
software may register a wrong E-mail
address
as a returnpath. This sometimes happens
when
you install new mailing software or
changed
server/provider. For Russians and some
countries
in East Europe, we have sometimes very
bad
connection to the servers in these
countries
and they do not accept our E-mail.
If you
have a continuous trouble in getting
reply
from us, please create a new account
of free
mail like yahoo or hotmail of other
countries,
like yahoo.com(USA) or uk.yahoo.com(UK).
Additionally, check if you or your
server
set a spam-free filter against the
E-mail
which has some type of domain name
like ending
with ".co.jp"
26. My credit card statement does not show
your charge. Did you charge it or what?
A: Our credit card charge is to be
settled
every end of the month, 30th or 31st
(or
28th/29th Feb). Actual bank transaction
process
is started after 15th of the following
month
by the credit card company which is
definite
process and can not change. Therefore,
if
you make a purchase, for example on
1st of
June, then the statement will reflect
the
purchase around 15 th of July. Also
if your
credit card is not available for the
purchase
in the initial process at our mail
order
and kept unshipped even after the month
has
changed but authorized later on, the
charge
will be brought over to the next month's
settlement so that the statement may
take
quite long to reflect the purchase.
27. I am Russian and have no reply from you.
A: Please note any domeins ended with "@****.ru"
do not work from our end. We are not sure
the cause but the servers do accept your
mail and send it to us, but all the replies
to them from us are blocked and sent back
to us.Please obtain Yahoo or gmail free mail
account.
28. My order have not arrived even shipped
by what you call super fast express delivery
EMS !(Canadian)
A: The recent situation on EMS in Canada
has become very undesirable. It is
because
originally, once an EMS package arrived
into
Canada, it was handled by a courier
company
called Purolator, and they were good.
However,
starting at the end of November of
this year,
Canada Post (the Canadian postal service)
began handling all EMS packages, Purolator
only handle envelopes. And Canada Post's
service is really poor comparing to
Purolator's.
Not only it takes longer to deliver,
it is
more expensive for the customer, too
-- Canada
Post charges a higher handling fee
for import
duty and sales taxes, and even take
more
time to sorting out taxes on the shipment.
We would recommend SAL\AIR mail delivery
to Canada, besides the merit of trackable
EMS.(thanks Mr.David Louie for the
information)
29. My fax does not seem to get through to
you. Any problem with your fax machine, because
it is always busy line!
A: first of all, please kindly note
that
our fax machne is working 24 hours
with memory
receiving so whether paper is loaded
or not
does not count. We have 4 available
phone
lines all the time for the fax machine
so
practically it will not be enganed
unless
4 fax are incoming at the same time.
Please
try it again sometime later. If you
seem
to have continuous problem in sending
fax,
please check the below:
a) Is the number you are dialing correct?
It is (international phone company
number)
+81-54655-1988
b) Have you dialed the international
phone
company number ahead of our fax number?
If
not, please check the below:
[Major destinations: Please ask if
your country
is not listed here]
| Ireland: 00 |
USA: 011 |
UK: 00 |
Italy: 00 |
Indonesia: 001 |
Australia: 0011 |
Austria: 00 |
Viena: 900 |
Korea: 001 |
Greece: 00 |
| Singapore: 001 |
Switzerland: 00 |
Sweden: 00 |
Spain: 00 |
Thailand: 001 |

Brazil: 00 |
Belgium: 00 |
Hong Kong: 001 |
Malaysia: 00 |
Russia: 810 |
So if you are sending fax from USA, dial
011-81-54655-1988
c) Is your phone or fax line available
for
international call? Some of the phone
line
is prohibited for international call.
d) If all of the above are confirmed
and
still the fax transmission does not
work,
please contact info@rainbowten.co.jp
before
giving up your order!
30. I placed two orders in about 1 week interval.
The order shipped earlier have not arrived
but the other one shipped later have arrived
instead. I am now little worried about if
it is missing.
A: Because of the nature of the SAL (Surface
air lifted: aka economy airmail), some of
the shipment is inevitably loaded onto the
airplane which is not directly bound for
your country. On the other hand, some shipments
are immediately loaded onto the direct flight
to your counrty and being treated just like
a normal airmail so it'll arrive very quick.
Therefore, some shipments arrive very quickly
and others take longer. Because of this,
some shipment shipped later may arrive sooner
than the one shipped earlier. Please allow
for "each" shipment about 2 to
6 weeks from the date of dispatch. This situation
is also applicable to the order dispatched
on the same date in multiple boxes.
31. Our country's postal agencies use local
delivery agent for EMS delivery. I would
like to know what company is taking delivery
for my shipment.
A: Please check the "cd Japan"
site for details. They list the local agents
and you can also track your shipment on their
site (thanks Mr.Patrick Lee Kok Lim for the
information)
32. I don't have any response...(yahoo.com,
comcast, verizon, gte and other E-mail server)
A: Please kindly note there are some free
mails that reject or delete our E-mail because
they list our E-mail address (rainbowten.co.jp)
for spammer. this is quite trouble for us
because you still can send E-mail from those
free mails to us but our response will be
erased so it's practically one-way communication.
One of our customers contacted them to unlock
the spam block but it seems the blocking
is done by server automatic program so that
they are unable to unlock it by personal
request. Please kindly check your E-mail
account if it has "yahoo.com",
"comcast", "verizon",
"gte", "hotmail" or possibly
others and if so, please obtain free E-mail
account at gmail.
Also, if you placed an order by paypal in
the past and did not clear the payment at
all just because you did not want the order
any more, without any advanced notification,
we may have listed your E-mail address as
a possible prunker (a.k.a. black list). Please
contact Information desk for details.
33. My order EMS have not arrived for more
than 30 days! (Italian)
A: Since April 2006, Italian customs have
reinforced inspections against all
the arriving
EMS shipments. They will hold up max
30 days
or more until they complete it. This
is truely
undesirable situations however we have
no
other choice to recommend AIRMAIL shipping
although it is not a trackable delivery.
If you need your shipment by EMS, we
need
a full declaration of each items, values
and others by specially prepared invoice
(custom slip).
34. How can I order BANDAI parts? How much?
A: Sorry but we are no longer able to carry
Bandai parts for retail.
35. I want to order some TAMIYA parts but
the instructions does not show the 7 digit
parts code.
A: Some old TAMIYA kits have no 7 digit parts
codes in the instructions. In that
case,
please advise 1) Kit number (5 digit),
2)
Sprue name, Quantity. We will ask TAMIYA
about the availability, price and 7
digit
code and get back to you so that there
will
not be any confusion or error in ordering.
For your own convenence in the future,
please
keep those parts codes with your PC
so that
you can order the same parts efficiently.
36. My shipment takes longer than the average
delivery time. Why? (this question can also be applied to SAL/AIR/SURFACE)
A: The following information is provided
by Japan post for a conceivable cause:
Your shipmet might possibly delayed
by the
following reason:
USA : No delivery will be attempted on Sunday.
Singapore : Singaporian post agency will not investigate
any missing shipments, so registered delivery
is strongly recommended.
France: Invoice is required to be attached outside
the shipping box. Delivery to Postal Box
is not allowed, or the customs might find the declared value
does not seem to correspond the content,
so they need to open the shipment for inspection,
to find some crue of the real value. For apartment dweller, door code is necessary
for the delivery guy to deliver your shipment
to the door.
United Kingdom : Full declaration of value and contents (description)
is required, but it 's not done, or the customs might
find the declared value does not seem to
correspond the content, so they need to open
the shipment for inspection, to find some
crue of the real value.
Indonesia : No delivery will be attempted on Sunday.
Delivery to Postal Box is not permitted.
Italy: Full declaration is necessary, along with
official invoice, but it 's not attached, or the customs might
find the declared value does not seem to
correspond the content, so they need to open
the shipment for inspection, to find some
crue of the real value.
South Korea: Full declaration is necessary, along with
official invoice, but it 's not attached, or the customs might
find the declared value does not seem to
correspond the content, so they need to open
the shipment for inspection, to find some
crue of the real value.
China (Hong Kong) : Full declaration is necessary, along with
official invoice, but it 's not attached, or the customs might
find the declared value does not seem to
correspond the content, so they need to open
the shipment for inspection, to find some
crue of the real value.
In conclusion: Full declaration of value
and contents, along with the invoice attached
outside the shipment is the key to receive
the shipment without delay, although it comes
with a chance of import tax.
37. I E-mailed you and asked what bottle
of paints are required to make the best color
for (a certain type of) Gundam model and
their mixing rate or diagram, but have no
reply.
A: We respond to any type of inquiry regardless
of it's content in almost all cases, including
technical guide, but only for color mixture,
we are unable to provide concrete and specific
answer, because it's really not possible
to make an exact same color by mixing multiple
colors.Adding to it, some people ask us to
translate the color chart in the instructions,
but sorry, translation is not an official
part of our service. We really canot answer
those type of questions. Please kindly understand.
38. I chose registered mail but it does not
show any progress after "Dispatch from
outward office of exchange" on the web
tracking.
A: The status "Dispatch from outward office
of exchange" means, the shipment has
already been loaded on the airplane/ship.
This status is the final trace for the shipment
before leaving Japan. Web tracking status
won't be updated until it reaches the country
of destination while it's on transit. Please
also be noted that there are still some countries
in which web tracking system is not available
for SAL/AIR/SURFACE registered mail (many
of them are plannig or developping it), so
even when the shipment is actually in your
country the web track remains showing "Dispatch from outward office of exchange".
But please don't worry and wait patiently,
as the delivery with tracking is attached
insurance to 20000yen EMS, 6000yen registred
SAL/AIR/SURFACE, according to the declaration
value, in case of non-delivery.
