.de promised to call me, never called. Split an order in three, used a bank account I had already removed from the system, then made me pay a fee three times when the money naturally could not be retrieved. One item in the order was a fake, when I returned it they claimed I kept it - thankfully I still had the receipt that I returned something, together with some stern words that was enough to end that.

Never buy from Amazon, especially not .de. Germany has a bunch of alternative online shops that are better.

Such as?

I never ran into such problems with Amazon, but I would like to know the alternatives.


For electronics: Mindfactory, Galaxus, Coolblue, alternate, Jacob, Proshop, alza, computeruniverse.


Caseking and Alternate.de for PC components.


All of them are good for PC components :) But right, I forgot Caseking.


Idealo for larger selection and comparison


FYI Idealo is part of Springer (Bild), Geizhals belongs to Heise (c't, iX)


Idealo and Geizhals are price comparison sites and nothing else


Thomann - for musical instrument stuff


Plus microphones and headphones :)
