Dakimakuras anyone?

I haven't received my order yet, and I still have to pay for shipping, but they were very responsive. For a service that relies on email versus an automated system like SMJ, things were taken of very quickly; I made two separate orders a few days apart, and both were completed within 3-4 hours. I'd imagine it could take awhile longer if I hadn't emailed during their business hours, but that 3-4 hour window included me sending a request to purchase items, them replying with the total cost (minus shipping to me), me sending payment, and them confirming payment/ordering the items.

The first order was from the Illust Guerrilla Store, and the second was from Evening Call. I asked that all 4 items be combined in one shipment, so it will be some time since one of the Evening Call items was a preorder that doesn't ship for another month. I don't have anything negative to say about their service yet, though obviously I haven't completed the most important part of my order yet.

Better/cheaper than YJA? Do you mean SMJ? If so, I'd probably say I would prefer SMJ for YJA purchases; they recently reduced their rates for auction purchases, so that they're fairly competitive, and I really like the automated system. It's possible that Yokatta would be cheaper, but it would have to hit a sweet spot, since they charge a flat 700 yen + 10% of the winning bid (and any shipping fees and such.) Though, I don't remember, are you outside of the US? One of the best things about SMJ, for a US customer, is definitely the batch shipping system that makes domestic shipping cheap. If you're outside of the US, Yokatta might be the cheaper service.

For webstore orders though, Yokatta is almost certainly the way to go, as long as I don't run into any problems with them later. Their rate is 700 yen for up to 3 items per order, plus whatever shipping charges and such. Versus the $10 + $2 per item + regular commission for SMJ special orders; the batch shipping system wouldn't even come close to making up for the cost difference on something like dakimakura covers.


And yeah, I'm always going to be hosed... I just need to stop spending money I don't have. T_T

damn I envy you guys lol (_ _)m talking about "large batch" and shit... I only buy 3 or 4 at a time >< I just won Marks Erio and that's it for me until the winter comitek.

ZZ you put my collection to shame lol

shit really? is it one of those osaka releases? link me a pic of that shit or something. marks be my favorite daki circle

>>;
Anyone know where one might find a pillow cover of Kotetsu from Tiger and Bunny?

Finally got my first daki. I was a bit skeptical of how comfortable they could be, so I bought a knockoff from Hobby Heart. I decided to shell out an additional $20 and upgrade to 2-way tricot instead of peach skin, and I love it. Now I want to try an official Japanese release to see the difference.

Also, here's an image of the daki I bought.

Just wanted to say hi lol. Shashin directed me here. Awesome pictures you guys got. Tons I have not seen. I really only look at that one blog site, so it seems I do miss out on a lot.

Welcome, it's always nice to see a fellow enthusiast that shares the love for dakimakuras.
