OTTO Versand Österreich is the WORST online retailer.
Never trust their service. Never order anything from OTTO.
Two weeks ago, I ordered a Bosch air conditioner from their website. The day after I placed my order, I still hadn’t received any email about payment or the expected delivery date, so I contacted customer service.
The representative told me that the product was already sold out and asked me to check their website. I told him that the product had been available when I placed my order. How could I have ordered it if it hadn’t been listed on the website? He then said that the unit had been sold to another customer while they were waiting for my payment. But how could I pay when they hadn’t sent me a payment link or any payment instructions?
He convinced me to wait for the next delivery, saying that it normally takes 7–9 working days according to their policy. I paid €200 and waited for the delivery confirmation.
On 01.07.2026 (one week later), I checked their website again and saw that the expected delivery time was 2 weeks. I called customer service again to ask for a firm confirmation. The woman I spoke to assured me that it would definitely arrive within two weeks.
Then, just two days later, on 03.07.2026, I received an email informing me that my order had been cancelled because they could no longer obtain the product.
I wasted two weeks for nothing. They couldn’t solve the problem, couldn’t fix their mistake, and didn’t seem to care about their customers.
I will never order anything from this company again. They are completely unreliable.
