Amazon could no longer ignore the rise of Temu and Shein, which is why today it is launching its competitor for both. It’s called Haul (what an apt name!) and all items in Haul cost under $20, with the majority being $10 and under.
Shipping takes one to two weeks and is free for orders over €25, otherwise €3.99. Returns are free within 15 days for items over $3, and if you purchase over $50 you get 5% off, with 10% off orders over $75.
Here’s the catch: Haul is currently only available in the US. And an additional, slightly less catchy catch: it’s mobile only. You use the Amazon app and search for Haul, go to the section in the app or visit amazon.com/haul in your mobile device browser to access it.
Amazon says it screens the products sellers offer in Haul so you can trust you’re getting stuff that is “safe, authentic, and compliant with applicable regulations.” The company promises that it is “just getting started” with Haul and will “continue to innovate and further improve the shopping experience.”
