I made my first order on otto.de a few days ago. I even installed their app, as I had Amazon app before, so it is easy to see my orders and invoices. It worked excelent, I found what I needed. What I was pleasantly surprised with, was that I did not need to enter a payment card. I just made my order, things came in 2 batches, different days, and I have about a month to pay them.

When I went to pay them, you have the option to pay each one, or all of them at once. I chose all, I’ve got a QR code, scanned it with my bank app and made the transfer. Painless and not using anything US made. Well, the phone I am on and the iPad…but you know what I mean, no VISA/Mastercard, etc.

And from what I heard, they have stricter rules of who can be a merchant on their website, compared to Amazon.

    One day delivery availability is not an issue for me actually. I used that option on Amazon prime a few times and they never fulfilled their promise. So, I better plan with time, or go to the shops for last minute gifts or whatever I need so urgently. But everyone needs are different. I am glad I have an option for specific things that I cannot just find in small shops in Germany.

      For me it’s sometimes important but when it’s not i always check Otto for other reasons. They have nicer UI, i like paying later by bank and I hope they treat their personal better.
