Amazon is looking to lure the budget-conscious shopper. The company launched Amazon Haul on Wednesday, a new mobile-only store that features items under $20.
The store appears to have hundreds of items — from clothing to home goods and beauty products. Some of the items are priced as low as $1.
Amazon Haul appears to be the company's direct challenge to the likes of Temu and Shein, which also offer low-cost goods. The new store even looks similar to the other two companies — with items appearing in a grid with their price shown.
Amazon touts its return policy as a major selling point for Amazon Haul. The company says it offers free returns on purchases of $3 or more within 15 days of delivery. Those returns can be made at any of the 8,000 drop-off locations across the U.S.
Amazon also says customers can be reassured that the products sold on Amazon Haul are "safe, authentic, and compliant with applicable regulations."
Is Amazon already not a budget option? I know they have expensive items but they also have their basics line which is cheap along with plenty of other cheap Chinese stuff. I guess maybe this is just Amazon without the quick shipping? [Reply]

Yeah, why do they have to add anything? Can't they just sell this shit on the same platform as everything else and not advertise that this is Temu quality junk? [Reply]

There's a young 20 something kid I work with who is constantly buying crap off Temu. It breaks. He buys more. When questioned as to why he keeps doing this his reply is always the same. "It was only 5 bucks." [Reply]

So they specifically mean that I can't buy stuff from my laptop/desktop where I do 95% of my shopping or does mobile only just mean online? [Reply]
