You can make custom covers here [WARNING: ANIME TIDDIES], there are high-res covers in sites like yande.re and you can buy the pillow from amazon jp by using a proxy service. A&J is the pillow brand that usually gets recommended.

Also, pick 2 Way Tricot. Peach skin is awful.

u/JoshuaSonOfNun · 9 pointsr/Animemes

Just a cover.

For the Pillow I bought this one which comes recommended at /r/Dakimakuras

u/PixelDemise · 8 pointsr/grandorder

From what I have learned, sites that sell proper Dakis and not bootlegs(Which are drastically lower in quality), are very limited outside of Japan. CuddlyOctopus WaifuCafe and Dakimakuri are the only sites that are reliable in their quality, while also being easy to purchase from for non-asian customers. Other sites are either bootlegs, or have bootlegs and you can't really tell which is which without buying them.

I have heard some chinese circles sell proper Dakis while also selling bootlegs, so I can't tell you which circles, and which ones are and aren't bootlegs. If one of those three sites don't have any, you will not have much luck finding a non-bootleg Daki elsewhere.

This pillow seems to be the most highly rated among Daki collectors, and while there may be others that are cheaper, this one will stay firm and won't get dents for a very long time.

Small PSA:

A&J finally release 'new' DHR6000

https://twitter.com/A_and_J/status/927396533879713794

The Amazon product page also has been updated with more picture and badly translated product description in English.

https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00CFG0B3I/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_vH-.zbNGMV7B1

I will probably buy one next month in case they change the shell fabric again (RIP combination development)

u/ShippoLover · 5 pointsr/Dakimakuras

Well the best is obviously the DHR6000, if you don't care about price. You can buy it conveniently off of Amazon US for a bit of a premium (although you need to be cognizant of fakes, so be careful who you pick from) or inconveniently, but cheaper and safer, through Amazon JP using a forwarder like BigInJapan.

u/Hrothmund16 · 3 pointsr/Dakimakuras

People always get the DHR 6000 recommended which is 160 x 50 cm. There also is a 150 x 50 cm version, It is 9255 yen but shipping will add a good amount to the total price.

Gate Japan

Amazon

u/frontreverie · 3 pointsr/Dakimakuras

It's not memory foams, but A&J's DHR 6000 is considered the best inner pillow. The filling's "high quality polyester silicon cotton". Amazon JPN ships it internationally now. They say Gate also sells them but they seem to have stopped.

I guess if you really want you can custom order a 160x50 memory foam pillow. Seems like Foam source, Foam Order and some other sites do custom sizes. No idea about the cost, though.

It'd be better to buy the DHR 6000, really.

u/Cody2Hottie · 3 pointsr/Dakimakuras

> DHR6000 pillow

Um... just asking, but are they REALLY that pricey lol? Probably cheaper sites right? Or not? ^ - ^ ''

u/DakimakuraGuy · 2 pointsr/Dakimakuras

The sidebar is probably the best place to look, since the main site I linked in my old thread isn't really active anymore. Nijigenshingu on the sidebar is still my personal favorite active site, but not every site is going to catch every single release, so it's good to look through a few. Pixiv/Twitter are great sources as well; just follow a bunch of hobby artists/companies/etc, and you'll see stuff pop up regularly.

There is only one accepted option in this sub, honestly: Suck it up and buy a DHR6000. Total cost will run you about $160, and you can either pick it up from Amazon.jp using a proxy/forwarder, or buy it directly from Amazon with the shipping cost already factored into the inflated price. Yes, shipping is an absolute bitch (almost the cost of the pillow itself.) Yes, it's absolutely worth it. You can look at previous question threads, and you'll find at least one question each month asking about the best pillow, and the answer is always the same.

But I'll directly respond to some of the questions/points you made.

For Royal Pillow, you'd have to call them up and do a custom order. Pillow will run you about $15-20 depending on the options chosen, but they don't (or didn't when I ordered) vacuum seal pillows and they shipped UPS, so shipping is expensive. Back when I ordered 3 pillows, shipping cost me about $70, which is around what it takes to ship a pillow from Japan (that will arrive sooner, most likely.) The actual quality of the pillows is pretty lackluster. I bought their base filling, and it was too puffy for me to initially lay on, and got beat down really quick, with no good middle ground. The gel was a little better, but also didn't have any longevity and I also had an issue with feathers poking through the pillow and through my cover, damaging it.

Amazon pillows might be decent, but I don't know. Most dakimakura covers are going to be 2WT, which is rather elastic, so it's generally okay if the pillow is a little bigger, but if it's smaller you're going to have some irritating slack.

If you're going to buy a Japanese pillow, don't cheap out; shipping is going to be expensive no matter what, so you may as well opt for quality.

Air filled pillows are a cheap alternative, but I doubt they're a good long term or comfortable choice.

u/GunStinger · 2 pointsr/Dakimakuras

Cospa isn't bad, but it's not a premium body. From what I've seen on this sub, most people seem to prefer something more in the line of A&J, Comodo or Marshmallow, but those are the more serious collectors.

I was plenty happy with one that was basically Cospa's price-class with more stuffing for many years, though I have a Fules WithAqua now, which I think is the cheapest premium pillow you can get thanks to their ongoing introductory price.

u/roboslobo · 2 pointsr/Dakimakuras

What is the easiest way to get a DHR6000 shipped to America? I've looked into proxies but honestly I don't feel like going through the hassle of providing identification and all that. I checked Amazon.jp and it's weird because people here say that they offer international shipping on the DHR6000. But when I check it says it cannot be shipped to America. I'd rather just buy it from amazon america here:
https://www.amazon.com/Dakimakura-body-pillow-original-DHR6000/dp/B00CFG0B3I. It is more expensive but really I think it's not that much more compared to the shipping from japan. Is this amazon listing legit? If so I think I will just shell out the extra to get it from amazon and avoid the effort of going through a proxy.

EDIT: Thanks for all the answers guys.

u/ShonenJump121 · 2 pointsr/Dakimakuras

So I'm not going to find really bad quality ones on amazon or anything? I'll just buy off there. Seems easiest

What about this? Look good?

u/internethistory4sale · 2 pointsr/Dakimakuras

are you looking in physical shops or online? i can totally understand shops with limited physical inventory space not keen on stocking too many of these so maybe you had some bad luck and happened to swing by after what they had on hand were sold?

https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00CFG0B3I/ amazon still has it in stock

u/lolthepoi · 2 pointsr/Dakimakuras

Deciding between two pillows, please offer your opinion, which one do you think is better? THANKS!

First one

Second one

Follow up question: Are the two links below authentic sites? That also does international shipping?

u/snCoolyFooly · 2 pointsr/Dakimakuras

I’m not sure about a physical location, but you can just order one online and ship it to wherever you’re staying. Looks like it’s free domestic shipping as well.

u/TenmaIsMyLight · 2 pointsr/Dakimakuras

Many foreign websites primarily target the domestic market, which in this case is not us. Most Japanese sites are only in Japanese, only ship to Japan and some even only accept payment from Japanese cards and bank accounts. Because of this Proxy companies will purchase items from these websites on your behalf , hence the name proxy.

The typical way of doing things is providing the proxy site with the link to the item you wish to purchase, some sites have interfaces to help browse popular sites but you can just use a link to the item you are interested like this. They will then see that they can purchase the item and will then typically ask for payment for the item itself. Once they have purchased and received the item they will then determine what it will cost to ship it to you and then ask for payment for that. There will also typically be a handling fee which is what they make their profit off. Once that is paid they will ship it to you and you now have your item that you could technically only buy in Japan.

There are a number of different proxy companies out there that have different fees and services so I would advise that you have a look around and see which service best suits your situation. Some example of proxies are listed in the side bar (old.reddit.com or opt out of the redesign to see it if you cant) as well as some other ones like ZenMarket, Buyee and many more. I personally have used SutoCorp and Tenso (forwarder service, Buyee is their proxy service) to order items from Japan and I would recommend NOT going with SutoCorp for this type of purchase if you can avoid it due to their very high % fee. Their service is better if you want lots of small items as they dont charge per item like some others do.

u/ProMeleePlayer · 2 pointsr/justneckbeardthings

From what I've read there are quality differences here's a high-quality one.

u/michy232 · 2 pointsr/Dakimakuras

I'm not confident it's legit if you look at the sellers list. The top seller has few and low ratings, it's not being sold officially/direct. If you're set on the DHR6000, you can find it legit on Amazon JP and it'll ship directly from Amazon.

Others might have a better source. However personally I'd just recommend the Dakimakuri Inner. General consensus puts it in-between the DHR6k and DHR7k.

u/konohasaiyajin · 2 pointsr/Dakimakuras

They're sold through Amazon US now. No need for the proxy service.

https://www.amazon.com/Dakimakura-body-pillow-original-DHR6000/dp/B00CFG0B3I

As the others said, worth the price. The cheaper ones off ebay will get shitty after a while (usually it's the filler bunching or twisting weirdly and whatnot).

u/YellowCookiexD · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

i bought the dhr6000 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CFG0B3I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

does this look like a legit seller? im not sure, that they sells bootleg pillows or not.

the other amazon the official one they said via the proxy that it was sold out ,

so had to choose the other one

u/SadPanda28 · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

I wanna know what's the current "top tier" inner pillow on the market right now. Back then it used to be DHR6000 but the recent amazon reviews are quite low and complains about how it's using a different material now (based from the reviews I think it started at late 2016), then I managed to stumble upon this which has better reviews and for only a fraction of the price. I just wanted to hear some thoughts and extra options if there are any.

u/Snowlav · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

I was looking at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CFG0B3I/ since it would be easier to order.

Is there a lot of difference ? edit: I think it's the same one ? :p

u/xtripzx · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

Yea, tenso.com is a proxy service. I made an account with them and they ask for identification. I just took a picture of my license and uploaded it to them. Then they provide you with an address to put into amazon.co.jp.

Edit: Here is the pillow on Amazon Japan. I think overseas shipping was about $30-$40.

u/Subete7 · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

So I'm just getting into the hobby and was going to get a DHR6000 ( this one ) on amazon, then I saw dakimakuri had an inner of their own, would I be better off with dakimakuri?

u/Luckyshades · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

Pillow
Alright so the first part of a pillow is knowing the size you need, are your covers that you have, or are interested in 150x50 or 160x50.


The problem with I think any body pillow is, is the fact that they will sag/flatten over time of use. The higher quality pillow, the longer they will generally last. I have never used a Walmart body pillow, but I can only assume the quality of that pillow is far inferior to almost any other pillow, especially because it only costs 12$. If you are using the dakimakura for usage, you have to invest in 2 different products. The pillow and ofcourse the dakimakura.


If you want to avoid having a somewhat high cost for a body pillow, you are rather limited in your options. I assume that you are from the United States, I assume this because you are talking about Walmart. In the United States you have a decently priced option for a pillow and the shipping shouldn't be too high in price.
http://www.royalpillow.com/body-pillows.asp
So are those pillows really good? I only have experience with the Cluster fiber or Polyester Fiber version (Can't remember which one I had). Was it good? Uhmmm due to the fact it was my first body pillow I thought it was oke. It started flattening still rather quickly though. And for the cost of the product I couldn't expect anything more really. Non the less I used it for a bit over a year, this was mostly because the cost of a pillow is much higher for me. In Europe there is no option like royalpillow for a low priced pillow that had the size I needed. If you are searching for a 160x50 you have to call them to order the custom product, this is not a size they have on their website.


The pillow we recommend though is a different story in price. It's the DHR6000. This is a pillow that's a much higher quality, the actual product cost is around 80$. But it ships from Japan, so the shipping cost will be another 70$ I think. Is ~150$ worth it to you? That is all up to you, that is the pillow I would recommend. For me, it was worth the extra investment. The DHR6000 is 160x50, for the 150x50 you will need the DHR6001


Dakimakura
A dakimakura is the actual cover of the body pillow. You said you purchased your covers from the likes of Amazon and Ebay for less than 50$. This is a clear sign you are buying bootleg covers.


What does a bootleg cover mean you might ask. A bootleg cover means the art on that cover is stolen from artist and used without permission of the artist. That is why you will be able to find those covers for so cheap, they didn't need to invest in the art. A bootleg cover you can purchase from anywhere between 40$ up to 90$ if I remember correctly. Those prices are considered cheap in this hobby. The lower the price the worse the quality of the material. But I'll come back on the material topic.


Next to bootleg covers, there are another 2 classifications of covers. These other 2 classification are considered the legitimate market in comparison to the bootleg market which is considered illegitimate.


Doujin / Circle cover. These covers are created by artists from the fan base. This is by far the most common sort of cover amongst the legitimate covers. The price for these covers are normally 12000 yen(~100$). And they are made from 2WT(Best material). You can either get them while they are up in their preorder period or on the second hand market.


Officially licensed covers. These covers are made by the likes of COSPA and are made with full permission from the company behind the character that is depicted on the cover. These will cost around 10k yen (~85$), but are printed on materials such as Smooth Knit (Half way in between material). It is difficult to find the character you want in these classification.


Material
As brutal as it may sound. But the only material you want for your dakimakura is 2 Way Tricot (2WT), every other material is inferior and is kind of a waste of money really.


In the 2WT material group there is a lot of different, all depending on the manufacturer. Bootlegs offer 2WT as well, but they are at the worst end of the 2WT group, the preferred 2WT are from A&J and P80(There are more, but these ones came up in my head first).


The covers you have are made from Peach skin, this is quite clear because of the price you paid. And all I can say is, you do not want peach skin. The material just feels off, the print quality ain't even good. There is no stretch in the material.


How to spot a bootlegger
I will just quote a previous post from /u/DakimakuraGuy for this.




  • If the site is in English, it's probably a bootlegger. The few exceptions to this are big Japanese sites that also run an English store (Mandarake, Hobby Search, AmiAmi, etc..)

  • Generally, legit covers run ~/> $100, and the price will almost always be in yen (regular MSRP is usually 12000 yen.) That doesn't mean you won't find deals for less than that, but if a site its selling nothing but covers in the $40-80 range, it's probably a bootlegger.

  • If a site offers multiple materials types for every cover listed, it's probably a bootlegger. If a site offers peachskin, *it is a bootlegger.

    Those tips are probably enough to weed out 90% of the bootleggers you'll come across. The other 10% can be a bit trickier, so if you ever have any questions feel free to ask.


    If you are willing to invest more in your dakimakura and need help finding a cover, or searching through the Japanese sites. You are always welcome to ask for help here. In the case of the price range you are searching, I can't help you further because I don't advocate the willingly knowing purchase of bootlegged covers.
u/DensetsuNoBaka · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

First off, you can order the DHR 6000 from amazon.jp. Last I heard they ship it internationally.

Cuddly Octopus is willing to sell blank white covers. Get a blank white cover from them and then fill it with three 24oz bags of this specific plush fiber. You can use step 5 of this guide for tips on how to fill the pillow properly. It isn't super hard. Also, Joann Fabrics does weekly (I think) 40-60% off any one item coupons, so if you don't mind making multiple trips over several weeks (it will take that long to get the shell anyway), you can get all the plush fiber for <$20. If you'll want to do this though, you'll have to contact CO like, now as orders for December are about to close in the next few hours.

u/SeasonADay · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

If you look on the amazon Japan site there are a lot of people complaining about the DHR6000, does anyone know anything about that? there are pictures also.

I'm looking to buy a dhr6000 from Amazon since I have $200 in gift cards. Is there any way to use this credit on Amazon.jp or am I stuck with buying it from [this page] (https://www.amazon.com/Dakimakura-body-pillow-original-DHR6000/dp/B00CFG0B3I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506278198&sr=8-1&keywords=dhr6000).

I'm planning to buy a DHR6000 from https://www.amazon.com/Dakimakura-body-pillow-original-DHR6000/dp/B00CFG0B3I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494435164&sr=8-1&keywords=dhr6000
But i am kind of hesitant since there is no reviews and multiple people to buy it from with no reviews. I'm just wondering if it is a good idea buying it from amazon.com or through a proxy.

u/freepantsu · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

Sorry for the late response. I am a huge fan of the DHR6000 pillow from Amazon JP if you want a 160x50 cm pillow which fits the corresponding cover amazing showing off the artwork perfectly without the little flaps of left over fabric. If you get a 160x50cm cover get a 160x50cm body pillow. For some of the licensed Cospa covers they have 150x50 dimensions, so if you wanted to sleep on them you would probably wanna get a Cospa 150x50cm body pillow to match, but any body pillow would work.

When it comes to material for covers there is usually just one material. Covers that come in a variety of materials are usually bootlegs. There are rare instances where dakimakuras can be reprinted with different materials.

140 euro including shipping? From what shop? Amazon.co.jp has it for 60 euro. Is the shipping so expensive?

u/Kigahen · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

I really hope you can help me out.
I'm finally able to buy my very first Dakimakura and I'm currently looking for a DHR6000 pillow. But before ordering one from Amazon Japan through a proxy I wanted to ask if I can just by this one from Amazon Germany.

It seems to be the Original DHR6000 and I saw some people ordering theirs from Amazon US as well. Most of the sellers also have a good rating overall so I'd much rather order through Amazon than through a proxy. Do you think it's safe to order from Amazon Germany or is it possible that it could not be the original?

u/Skallox · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

Thanks. I'll make a habit of checking it regular with the sites linked in your ancient post, that seems to be the best way to avoid the terror of missing out.

As a side note, where is the best place to find the 1600mmx500mm pillows? I understand that royalpillow will do them in the states but the options I'm finding that are readily available are:

  1. Buy this 60"x20" pillow and deal with it being a bit too short for 1600x500 pillows and perfect for 1500x500 pillow.

  2. Buy this silly round style of pillow and deal with it being too long for 1500x500, just right for 1600x500 but now everything is cylindrical.
  3. Buy a pillow directly from a retailer like amiami and potentially get gorrila-ass-pounded on shipping costs. Not to mention how quickly this style of generic pillow breaks down.

  4. Buy an air filled pillow and potential puncture and deflate your waifu.

    Is there a good/better/best option that I am overlooking?

    EDIT: These appear to be the regular suspects here but they're pretty damn expensive. Do you really get what you pay for? DHR6000 and DHR5000.
u/ninjabutt69 · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

I am a first time buyer and just pre-ordered Maidoll's Reika cover https://maidoll.booth.pm/items/1215934

​

I have been doing some research on an inner pillow and came up with three options:

  1. COMODO CMD9900LS: https://www.amazon.com/COMODO-Original-CMD9900LS-High-End-Dakimakura/dp/B07DFJWW86/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1550005417&sr=8-1&keywords=CMD9900LS
  2. dakimakuri pre-order https://dakimakuri.com/shop/item/inner
  3. DHR6000 (anyone know if this is legit?) https://www.amazon.com/Dakimakura-body-pillow-original-DHR6000/dp/B00CFG0B3I/ref=sr_1_6?s=bedbath&ie=UTF8&qid=1550007371&sr=1-6&keywords=dakimakura

    Does anyone have any recommendations among the 3? Especially as something starting off, the DHR6000 at $170 feels pretty steep. I was thinking of starting off with a mid-range pillow and upgrading eventually if I felt like it. Any comments is greatly appreciated!
u/KazeHD · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

After talking to them on facebook I ordered it! I only have to get the DHR6000 but im not sure if I did it correct with the proxy. Ive sent them an email with the link and where to ship it (sutocorp) or do I have to do something on their website?

u/waifudakilord · 1 pointr/anime

Not the same person, but the general consensus in the daki community for 160x50 cm sized dakimakuras is the A&J DHR6000. It's pretty pricey, but it feels really nice. Usually people order it from Amazon Japan with the help of a proxy, but I think if you live in the States they recently made it available on Amazon.com. Let me know if you need anymore help!

u/Zerimas · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

That listing doesn't ship to Canada unfortunately.

>As a counter point to your statement on the insanity of spending that much on a pillow, the price of the cover of said sexualized depiction of an anthropomorphized aircraft carrier would often be in the ranges of $115+ CAD assuming that it was a Japanese cover.

I just paid for it. $173 CAD including shipping. It was this cover. I rationalize the cost somewhat because it is a small production run, and presumably the artist is making a healthy commission on the whole thing. At least I hope that is the case, otherwise I'd feel a little silly about going all in the authentic Japanese cover. Pillows are a simple and mass produced object. Granted all my pillows are shitty, but a pillow would have to be really impressive to command that kind of dough.

Is there an English friendly seller of these pillows from Japan? I found one listing on Amazon.ca but it is $184 plus another $96 shipping. There has gotta be a more inexpensive way to get the same item.

I don't know. The whole thing is completely insane. I may as well get a decent pillow. That daki cover of Unicorn was just too goddamn cute. I had to have it. It seems weird to sleep on it because it so lewd, but whatever. I would have preferred a lurid, but more clothed version, but the illustration is just so perfect I couldn't not buy it. I rarely see covers that I really like, and when I do they aren't available so I had to jump on this one.

Sorry just trying to come to terms with fact the fact that I paid a princely sum for (hopefully) high-quality, large loli pillow case.

u/CuddlyOctopus · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

Gate Japan

You do need a proxy or forwarder. It should be around 165 USD all in all. Feel free to correct me if i am wrong.

Here is an Amazon JP link. People have been arguing if it ships international or not. You can try if they do i suppose.

u/NinSonNar13 · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

Also, since it doesn't look like anybody has mentioned it, have you considered the actual pillow insert yet?

Almost anybody here would suggest https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00CFG0B3I (or https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00PIM8OTO if a smaller 150x50cm daki), which is pretty much guaranteed to delight her as it's very soft and squishy while holding it's shape well, but it does unfortunately come with some extra work as it doesn't ship to the US.

I myself don't have any other good substitute suggestions (help anyone?), but if you are willing to put in the extra effort, using a proxy service suggested in the side bar will help you get one.

u/Figdaki · 1 pointr/Dakimakuras

For purchasing a inner pillow it seems like the general consensus from looking around here is that the DHR6000 is the best. Do most people purchase it through a proxy or forwarding service? I found this and this on the japanese amazon but are they the same as the one from the A&J site? If they are the same would it make more sense to purchase it from amazon and use a forwarding service instead of directly from A&J with a proxy? While using a forwarding service seems like it would be cheaper everyone who mentions buying one seems to say they used a proxy. Is there some aspect of purchasing it that I'm missing?

Well it seems you can't directly purchase it so you either have to use a proxy or a different kind of forwarding service.

This pillow is an amazon item from one of the DHR6000 links below (from gate-japan.co.jp): http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E6%8A%B1%E3%81%8D%E6%9E%95%E6%9C%AC%E4%BD%93-J%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB-DHR6000-%E3%83%8F%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B9-160cm%C3%9750cm/dp/B00CFG0B3I?SubscriptionId%3DAKIAJNH2BLSXYRFQ7SQA%26tag%3Ditemsearch01-22%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00CFG0B3I

So yea those listed amazon from their respective companies should indeed be fine.

I ordered mine with SutoCorp as that seems to be one of the most used proxies in this board and while I could've gone cheaper with some other proxy I wanted to try out SutoCorp just to see how they handle things.

anyone know where i can get a A&J DHR6000 pillow that is not a bootleg, i got a 50 X 160 CM cover, but im not sure the one i found off amazon is the real deal, or if its still the recommended inner filling https://www.amazon.ca/Pillow-Original-DHR6000-high-class-160cmX50cm/dp/B00CFG0B3I

RIP. Better to contact shopee for assistance. Right now, the most common hobbyist pillow inners usually require you to cough out about $100 or more with shipping and handling included. DHR6000, Chara Marshmallow Kai EE and Kuri's Inner are some to name a few. May I ask what is your budget for a pillow inner?

I believe Buyee is pretty cheap if you get your DHR on amazon. I'm planning to get one myself and I'll probably use Buyee since they're absurdly cheap compared to other proxies I've found so far.

Are these pillows legitimate? Are there fakes of DHR pillows? Price is not a concern and expedited shipping through EN Amazon is the absolute fastest way to get my pillow since I'm leaving home back to uni again very soon and need it ASAP, so proxies are not an option.
