Is Amazon Germany self-operated? How to tell?

There are many sites on the Amazon platform, such as the United States, Germany, etc. Different sites have different types of stores, such as self-operated stores and ordinary stores. Before some friends buy goods on Amazon Germany, they want to confirm whether Amazon Germany is self-operated?

1. If there is a line of words like "Verkauf und Versand durch Amazon" displayed below the product price, it is a product directly sold by Amazon Germany. The seller and mailing address are both amazon.de, so you can buy it with confidence.

The official website currently offers free shipping in Germany for orders over 29 euros. If you are a prime member, free shipping is not limited by any amount and is guaranteed to arrive within one day.

2. If the product displays a line like "Send XXX and Versand on Amazon", it means that Amazon cooperates with third-party merchants to ship the product on their behalf.

You can rest assured that the shipping policies and transportation regulations are consistent with Amazon's fulfillment.

3. If there is a line of text like "Verification and Delivery" below the product price, this type of product is sold and shipped independently by a third party.

You have to judge the quality and service of this type of goods by yourself. The shipping policy may not be consistent with Amazon's. You can go to the merchant to check the store's feedback and return and exchange conditions. Customer evaluation is also a very important criterion for judging third-party merchants.

The difference between Amazon's own operations and overseas operations:

1. Amazon self-operated products are mainly shipped by domestic Amazon warehouses, and after-sales service is also completed by domestic Amazon. Customers do not need to pay additional taxes and overseas shipping fees during the shopping process.

2. Overseas purchases are shipped by overseas warehouses (usually Amazon US at present), and after-sales services are determined according to actual conditions. Customers need to cooperate in completing customs clearance procedures during the shopping process and pay taxes and fees in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. In addition, they also need to pay additional shipping fees from overseas warehouses to domestic warehouses.

3. The Amazon Global Purchase implemented by Amazon China is actually just a price reduction promotion strategy. The prices are lower than those of Amazon China but higher than those of other overseas Amazons. However, there are also some products that are not sold in other Chinese shopping malls but are sold overseas.

Amazon in the United States also supports UnionPay, but I suggest you not to use UnionPay. UnionPay uses other payment channels overseas, which makes refunds very troublesome. Amazon Global Shopping itself is a special section of Amazon China, so it also supports UnionPay.
