Is OTP an amazon exclusive thing? - GOATEDGOD6969 - 07-10-2022
I've never seen OTP from amazon or from any online order.
I was just wondering about that.

My buddy is a Delivery Driver For Amazon currently and happened to find out that amazon OTP is just something they use for "High risk" Customers, People with high refund/return rates. So you probably won't see it anywhere else.

I 'm a regular customer with an aged account (more than 5 years) lots of purchases and no refunds, I just got a OTP purchasing airpods pro, never used that account for SE or that address, personal details etc. so I don't think its only for high risk customers, i believe is on high risk items like small electronics with mid/high value.

But do other companies have an OTP system in place?
Like if you order a high risk item from Apple, will apple send an OTP along with the fedex man or is that just an amazon thing?

Other companies may (for example) require an access code to confirm receipt of goods.

Yeah It depends a lot on the company, country, item. Either way, if you are trying to SE a big company, refunds are most of the time, if not always easy to do, so you can try to purchase an item and analyze if a SE is possible, if not, just do a legit refund and that's it.
