What you entrust to OZTA

You choose the product and approve the order terms. We handle the agreed purchase: communicating with the seller, agreeing the invoice, arranging payment and providing status updates. Sourcing, separate inspections and onward delivery are discussed according to your needs.

1
Purchasing a suitable offer
Once a specific seller has been found, we agree the product and purchase terms, check the invoice and arrange payment. A review or reference link helps describe the request but does not replace the seller's offer.
2
Selection and comparison
We will compare offers, store information, total cost and timing for the specific product. Standalone sourcing is charged separately. The published package applies to China; for another market or an extended brief, we will prepare an estimate before work begins.
Supplier search scope and price
3
Product inspection
We clarify whether photos and checks of contents and condition are available before shipment. Inspection scope, contractor, price and discrepancy actions are agreed before payment.
4
Arrange delivery
We select air or road delivery from Germany; we provide timing and route after checking the order.
5
Import documents
For the destination country, we clarify required documents, payments and the work of an authorised customs representative. Their services and government payments are shown separately.
6
Order status
A paid order has a responsible coordinator. We agree on a communication channel and pass on confirmed status updates from the seller and contractors. If conditions change, we explain why and discuss the next step; tracking depends on the carrier.

Order assistance

We check the product, seller, payment and delivery from Idealo before ordering.

We check the payment method
The selected store has its own payment rules. We check the available payment method before accepting the order.
We clarify seller terms
Descriptions, delivery terms and returns policies are published in German. We translate and explain points that matter for the order.
Consolidate purchases
If the goods can be stored and transported together, we agree consolidation at one warehouse and compare the total shipment cost.
Checking stores
We check store details, available reviews and sales terms. If information is insufficient, we seek clarification before purchase.
Order status support
We help check the selected store's returns, receipt and domestic delivery terms.
Checking the product against the order
Inspection scope is agreed before purchase. If a discrepancy is found, we record it and contact the seller under the returns terms.

Idealo: compare prices before buying

Idealo compares store offers; the purchase takes place with the selected seller. Send links to the comparison and the store itself so the current price and order terms can be checked.

idealo.de

Country: Germany

Compare the same product code, condition and contents, including seller delivery.
Price history helps assess an offer, but does not fix the price at purchase time.

How your order proceeds

We first establish the product and purchase terms, then agree the estimate and the steps after purchase. You decide before paying for each stage; product substitutions or budget changes require separate approval.

Link or item number
Send a link or item number. If you have no link, photos and a description are sufficient; specify the option and quantity you need.
Seller and availability
We will clarify availability, included items, condition and shipping from the seller. We will discuss any differences from your request before purchase.
Region and restrictions
We will check whether the product can be purchased and shipped to your country, and which documents and packaging are required.
Price before payment
We will show the product price, delivery to the first warehouse, the OZTA fee and known subsequent costs. We will identify amounts that still depend on weighing, measurement or an external quote. Purchasing begins after your approval and payment for the relevant stage.
From purchase to shipment
After agreement, we arrange the purchase, communicate with the seller and provide updates. Only the agreed checks and packaging are carried out before onward shipment. We record the procedure for discrepancies or returns in advance.

Tell us about the task

Purchasing, quality inspection and transport involve different work. We record what is included in the order, who performs individual actions and which documents you will receive. Returns depend on the seller, stage of fulfilment and agreed terms.

How to calculate the purchase-on-behalf fee

We use the agreed goods price from the seller and apply the rate from the table. Delivery is not part of the fee calculation.

Rate by product price

Minimum OZTA purchasing fee: $20

Less than $1,000: 10%
From $1,000, but less than $5,000: 9%
From $5,000, but less than $10,000: 8%
From $10,000, but less than $20,000: 7%
From $20,000: 6%

The minimum OZTA purchasing fee is $20. For example: goods at $50 + fee of $20 = $70, excluding delivery, import costs, insurance and bank costs.

Fee calculation example

Seller's goods price: $2 000
OZTA fee: $180; $2 000 × 9% = $180
Goods + fee: $2 180

This covers only the goods and fee. Seller delivery and onward freight, import charges, insurance, banking and foreign-exchange costs are separate.

What the fee includes

One seller, up to 10 agreed items and one planned shipment.
Checking company and payment details and purchasing terms, and agreeing the seller’s invoice.
Payment of the seller’s invoice is already included in the fee; we do not charge a second percentage for it.
Seller communication, order statuses and OZTA report.

What is paid separately

Seller delivery to our warehouse and onward transport.
Import charges, insurance and warehouse operations, when needed.
Bank and foreign-exchange costs, and any additional work after agreement.

If additional contractor work is needed

For additional work: the provider’s price + 10% for OZTA, with a minimum OZTA coordination fee of $20 per agreed assignment. If coordination is already included in a paid package, there is no second fee. Samples and their delivery are paid separately. We do not apply this percentage to government charges, import taxes or the insurance premium.

What is important to know before ordering

Answers about checking the product, seller, payment and delivery from Idealo.

Can I buy a product directly on Idealo?

Idealo aggregates store offers and is not the seller; purchases are made through the selected listing under its rules.

What if the product was unsuitable?

Returns depend on seller, goods and order stage. Before purchase, we clarify the claim deadline and return shipping expenses. For discrepancies, we help collect claim materials.

Which European country offers the best value when buying electronics and appliances?

We compare offers by domain, price and domestic delivery; the final difference depends on the specific goods and warehouse address.

For which products is Idealo particularly useful?

An aggregator helps compare offers for one model. Check more than price: contents, seller, availability, delivery and returns terms matter.

How do I choose a reliable store through Idealo?

We compare store information, reviews and sales terms. Ratings help select offers for checking but do not guarantee order fulfilment.

How can I order a product from Idealo through OZTA?

Send a link, the required option, quantity and destination city. We will clarify availability and the seller's terms, prepare an estimate and explain the returns policy. We begin purchasing after your agreement and payment.

Can a legal entity pay for an order by bank transfer?

Yes. A company can pay an agreed OZTA order by bank transfer against an invoice. We agree on the currency, bank details and order documents before payment.

We will compare platforms by product, seller, shipping terms and purchasing availability.

Calculate the purchase cost

Send a link, the selected option, quantity and destination city. We will clarify the details with the seller and prepare an estimate. If the order is unavailable, we will tell you before payment.
