A box of HB pencils, two ruled A4 books and one glue stick cost AED 35 before delivery at Al Kabayel on 13 November 2026. Its published standard shipping adds AED 15 at that subtotal, taking the estimate to AED 50. Each product page showed Add to Cart and pickup availability at the Deira branch. If the school accepts small Fantastick sticks and you need several, the mixed pack takes the basket to AED 40.95 before delivery, or AED 55.95 at the same shipping rate. Al Kabayel shipping policy
The Dubai school refill basket
| Product | Checked price | Exact pack or specification |
|---|---|---|
| STAEDTLER Noris 120-2 HB | AED 15 | 12 pencils, barcode 4007817105047 |
| FIS A4 manuscript book | AED 8 each, AED 16 for two | FSMNA42Q, 96 sheets, 8 mm single ruling |
| UHU glue stick | AED 4 | One 8.2 g solid stick |
| Fantastick mixed pack | AED 9.95 | Four glue sticks, two clear tapes and two 50 ml bottles of liquid glue |
The mixed pack also showed Add to Cart and Deira pickup when checked. Its lead image shows the liquid-glue component, so use the written contents for the pack count and confirm all components if ordering for a particular class. Check pickup confirmation before making a dedicated trip. The delivered prices above exclude the optional AED 10 cash-on-delivery fee.
Match the teacher’s list before comparing packs
The plain Noris box has 12 HB pencils. Al Kabayel’s listing works out to AED 1.25 per pencil. Pentoink showed the same barcode at AED 16 with Add to Cart, although its main image depicts one pencil. Confirm the pack count there before comparing. Use the grade and barcode alongside the pack size, since the Noris 120 range includes several grades and packs.

The FIS books are 210 × 297 mm and the listing counts 96 sheets, or 192 pages. If the teacher asks for a particular ruling or margin, bring a photo of a completed spread. Buy two separate books if the list asks for one per subject. Check whether the teacher assigns cover colours before ordering a refill.
One small UHU stick keeps the basket at AED 35. Two singles bring it to AED 39, still AED 1.95 below the mixed basket. Three singles would cost AED 12 for glue alone, AED 2.05 above the Fantastick pack. Use that comparison when the school accepts the two brands and the small stick size.
Check shipping before splitting the order
Al Kabayel’s published rates are AED 15 below AED 50, AED 10 from AED 50 to AED 199.99, and free delivery from AED 200 for eligible addresses. Pentoink publishes AED 35 below AED 300 and free delivery from AED 300. A pencil-only delivery would therefore be AED 30 at Al Kabayel versus AED 51 at Pentoink, assuming the latter confirms the same pack and the standard charges apply. If you already have a Pentoink order that qualifies for free delivery, compare the AED 16 addition with the cost of a separate trip or delivery. Pentoink delivery terms
The AED 35 basket sits AED 15 below Al Kabayel’s first delivery discount. Adding AED 15 of supplies purely to reach it would reduce delivery by AED 5 and increase the total by AED 10. Add items you already need, or use Deira pickup if it fits a trip you are making anyway.
