Anime Group Order (GO) Guide: How to Buy Custom Dakimakura Together

A group order combines purchases from several people into one coordinated order. It may reduce some costs, but savings are not guaranteed: local redistribution, packaging, and payment fees can outweigh a lower shared shipping charge.

Get a complete quote before collecting final payments

Send the product types, sizes, quantities per design, and delivery destination. Ask whether the quote is for one consolidated delivery or multiple addresses. DakiCustomize shipping follows the applicable product-weight template and destination; do not assume a fixed percentage discount.

A useful per-person budget includes the item cost, an agreed share of the quoted shipping, local postage, packaging, and any payment fees. A heavier or larger item may need a different share than a small charm.

Keep the order list and files matched

• Assign each participant an order code.
• Record the product, size, fabric, quantity, and whether an insert is included.
• Use matching file names, such as Order01_Front.png and Order01_Back.png.
• Confirm that participants have permission to print their artwork.
• Restrict personal addresses and private artwork to the people who need them.

For dakimakura files, send RGB PNG or high-quality JPG exports and use our resolution guide. Do not apply a single cover's pixel requirements to every product or size.

Agree on responsibilities

Before paying, tell participants who will receive the shipment, inspect it, contact the supplier about issues, and handle local delivery. Set a realistic deadline for files and payments. Explain how changes or withdrawals will be handled before committing the group order.

Allow time for collecting files, production, the first shipment, sorting, and local distribution. A production estimate is not the date every participant receives their item.

Inspect and redistribute carefully

Check quantities and visible damage when the shipment arrives. Photograph issues and retain packaging as needed. For our orders, report quality issues within 7 calendar days of delivery under the returns policy; do not wait until the entire redistribution process has finished.

If you are ready to compare costs, send us the item list and destination for a group-order quote.
