Very usefull website for good comparison of products. Especially on finding a better rate. It is better to buy the products directly on Idealo than from the suggested merchants.

Idealo helped me get my money back

I must thank Idealo team UK; if not for them, I would never get my money back form a fraudulent business!

I've placed an order for an electronic good, almost a 4 digit sum, the website stated it as available shipping in 5 days. Once they got hold of the money they stopped communicating. Expired the 30 legal days for contract fulfillment I've sent them a registered infringement letter before court action. Idealo intervened for the first time, making the business respond to my mails and promising to return the money.
The money never arrived, the business did not accept the letter. Idealo intervened for the second time and the business made a bank transaction returning the money.
Thanks to Idealo I've got my money back after exactly 2 months, from a business that is promoting itself as a big serious company with 4 million capital. The reality is another; it's a shame for all honest on-line companies out there, scamming consumers.
Idealo saved the day and the legal expenses; thanks to team UK I've got again hold of my money.

Very good website

I use idealo.de for flights almost every week. The website is clear and user friendly and works well. Prices are always among the best to be found on the internet. Only three small modifications i would like to see:-

1) A feature to select date ranges to find cheapest flights (for a long weekend break i can often take the Thurs/Fri free or the Mon/Tues or the Fri/Mon so would like to see which is more economical without individually checking all options).

2) A feature to select specific dates but leave the destination blank, or at least cut the destination down to the individual regions/continents (often i know when i have holidays but have no idea where i would like to go and would like inspiration).

3) Some of the prices on the website do not correlate with the websites on which they are being sold. This appears to not to lie with idealo.de, but with the other websites (because it seems to be the same few) but it is still frustrating.
