Is this a bug or is it real? Everyone is saying that Otto is the new European amazon but it doesn’t seems like that. (I am already buying from allegro but they don’t have this product in stock)
It is real. Apparently: “Die Lieferung erfolgt ausschließlich innerhalb von Deutschland.” (Delivery is only possible within Germany.)
Weak Otto. 2025 and you can not ship a good from Germany to Italy or Denmark while Amazon and [add china shop] ship worldwide over a decade.
Bol.com is the same. And they actually used to ship to the entire EU. Part of Dutch xenophobia, I suppose.
That’s Germany for you 🥲😂
Always at the forefront of the last decade (sometimes even last 2 decades!)
Don’t use brave.
And: I don’t know if Otto is really that great. It’s just a marketplace where people sell cheap stuff imported from china. I just ordered a mirror that I have to send back, because it’s not even (as in flat).
They are also a German multimillionaire family. They are old German money. The kind that uses their political influence to lobby against property or inheritance taxes.
Not to defend them, but almost every single rich person lobbies for less property and inheritance taxes
That’s odd…
It could be because they don’t have any contract signed for delivering in other eu countries
You can check this thread for other alternatives.
They are an odd shop, anyway. I recently looked where to get a certain LEGO set. At their own shop, it cost €99, at OTTO, the exact same set was €179.
Yeah some stuff it’s expensive AF
Looks like onbuy.com ships internationally (they’re UK based)
