To place an order, simply write an email with the item(s) you are interested in, along with the item number(s). We will then respond with a proforma invoice attached to the email in MS Word, which gives a price quote in Yen exchange for the current business day. Prices on the web site will remain in US dollars to keep things simple, however you will receive a quote in Japanese yen. Please do not send money for the amounts shown for any of the items listed on the website unless you have received a proforma first. If money is sent, we will not accept the funds, and will return them promptly. |

We accept PayPal, money orders and credit card payments. As there is a great amount of expense involved with the transfer of funds from foreign countries to Japan, a service/handling is fee tallied based on the total amount of goods and shipping quoted on each order. These charges will appear on your proforma as part of the total cost. Note that with credit card payments, our sister company www.babystation.net will appear as the charging entity on your billing statement. The service/handling fees are as follows: PayPal: Credit Cards: Money Orders: |

As of February, 2006 we will use EMS as our primary shipping service. This offers not only tracking service, insurance on items shipped, but seems to the be most reliable. If you wish to ship items using SAL (general Air) or surface shipping, please specify this in your order's email. A schedule of charges can be viewed at the Yubin Kyoku (Japanese Post Office) web site here. |

We will search for old and out of print Japanese books at the customers request. Please send us an email listing the name and author and we will attempt to locate it. We charge a 15% finders fee on top of all total item charges (item cost, shipping and sometimes bank transfer fees) accrued within Japan . |

We will also take special orders. If you want something from Japan (and it is not illegal to ship), please feel free to request it. We will do our best to locate it at the best price available. Additionally, we will bid on Japanese auctions, like http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/. We charge a 15% finders fee on top of all total item charges (item cost, shipping and sometimes bank transfer fees) accrued within Japan . |

A proforma (meaning "as a matter of form") invoice is used as the official communication between Futago Trader and potential/ existing customers. It is a way to record contact information, quotes for services and record all fees and transactions for items requested, sold and money exchanged. This acts as your invoice and service quote. As the exchange rate of the dollar is changing daily and as we do special orders, the proforma invoice is an absolute necessity and the primary reason shopping cart software is not used. This also gives the customer(s) a chance to speak with us here personally and make sure that they are getting what they want and understand all charges that are involved. |
