Home goods from Otto.de
We help buy a selected product from Otto and arrange delivery. For furniture, electronics and appliances, we review installation space dimensions, connections, included items and packages in advance.
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
Product purchasing
We agree the selected product, option and quantity with the seller, and check their company and payment details and invoice. After your confirmation, we arrange payment and handle order correspondence. Arranging payment of this invoice is already included in the standard purchase-service fee.
- 2
Sourcing and selection
We will select alternatives and compare their prices and reviews. German navigation does not prevent us from checking the listing and seller's terms. 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
Quality 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 consider air delivery from Germany after checking the goods and route. For furniture and oversized cargo, we agree a separate transport option.
- 5
Import documents
We will clarify the documents and import charges required for your product in the destination country. Clearance costs will be shown separately in the estimate.

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 Otto.de before ordering.
German delivery address
We check which address the seller can ship the order to. We agree the warehouse and onward transport before payment.
We check the payment method
The available channel, currency and bank restrictions are confirmed for the country, seller and specific transaction before payment.
We clarify seller terms
The Otto website is entirely in German. We place the order and clarify the details.
Consolidate purchases
If the goods can be stored and transported together, we agree consolidation at one warehouse and compare the total shipment cost.
Clarifying returns
Before payment, we clarify cancellation and returns terms under seller rules; further actions depend on the specific order.
Warranty terms
We clarify the manufacturer's terms and available claim procedure for the specific goods before purchase.
Otto: dimensions, seller and included items
To order from Otto, save the selected option and seller. For furniture, electronics and appliances, add installation space dimensions and connection requirements.
otto.de(opens in a new tab)- Country
- Germany
Check the number of packages and whether fittings are included.
Local assembly and installation services are not automatically included in international transport.
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.
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.
