Accepted Answer

Your opinion is our priority! To vote for adding a new country, simply use the "Feedback" widget at the bottom right of your screen (available on desktop). This is how we collect your suggestions to decide which Amazon stores to integrate into Zonscope next.

Question 11

Can I have a product bought in Germany or Spain delivered to France?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most European Amazon sellers deliver throughout Europe, often with reasonable shipping costs. Always check the delivery conditions on the final Amazon product page before confirming your purchase.

Question 12

What is Amazon's return policy for cross-border purchases?

Accepted Answer

Amazon guarantees a standard 30-day return window on most products, regardless of which European store you buy from. This period can be extended for certain products (e.g., Christmas gifts, some refurbished electronics) or depending on the specific policies of third-party sellers. Always check the return conditions on the product page before buying.

Question 13

What happens if a product is unavailable in a country?

Accepted Answer

Zonscope clearly displays 'Unavailable' for that country and directs you to other available options. You always see where the product is in stock and at the best price.

Question 14

Is it legal to buy from another European Amazon site?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Amazon allows cross-border purchases in Europe. Just pay attention to shipping costs and VAT (usually already included). It's perfectly legal and secure.

Question 15

Are shipping costs included in the price comparison?

Accepted Answer

Yes! That's the strength of Zonscope. Unlike other tools that only show the product price, we include an estimated shipping cost to France. The price you see in our table is therefore the estimated final price, so you have no unpleasant surprises at checkout.

Question 16

Is it really worth buying abroad if I have to pay shipping costs?

Accepted Answer

In more than 80% of cases, yes. The price differences between European countries (Germany, Spain, Italy) are often so large that they easily absorb the €5 or €10 in shipping. For example, it's not unusual to find a Dyson vacuum or a LEGO set €50 cheaper in Germany; even with €12 in shipping, you save €38.

Question 17

Can I use my French Prime subscription to get free shipping on Amazon Germany or Spain?

Accepted Answer

No, the Prime subscription is country-specific for the 'Free Shipping' benefit. However, your French Amazon account works across all European sites without needing to create a new one. Our tool calculates your savings taking this small additional shipping cost into account.

Question 18

Is my payment secure on a foreign Amazon?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's exactly the same level of security as on Amazon France. You use the same account, the same saved payment methods, and Amazon's same secure infrastructure. There are no additional intermediaries.

Question 19

How do I create a price alert on Zonscope?

Accepted Answer

Go to a product page on Zonscope, click the "Create price alert" button and choose your drop threshold (−5%, −10%, −15% or −20%). You'll receive an email as soon as the price crosses that threshold on any of the 8 European Amazon stores. A Zonscope account is required.

Question 20

Are price alerts free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free. Price alerts are part of Zonscope's free features. No subscription, no credit card required.

Question 21

How many countries do alerts monitor?

Accepted Answer

Your alerts simultaneously monitor all 8 European Amazon stores (France, Germany, UK, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Ireland, Netherlands). As soon as any country hits your target price, you're notified by email.

Question 22

How many alerts can I create?

Accepted Answer

You can have up to 20 active alerts simultaneously with your free Zonscope account.

Question 25

What is the Zonscope AI Assistant?

Question 27

Can the assistant tell me if it's the right time to buy?
