Amazon takes on Temu & Shein with low-priced storefront
Amazon says it will screen the products sellers offer in Haul to ensure they are safe, authentic, and compliant with applicable regulations. Orders of $25 or more qualify for free delivery in one to two weeks, with a fee of $3.99 on orders under $25.
For any item a customer chooses not to keep, Amazon will offer free returns on all Amazon Haul purchases over $3 within 15 days of delivery and provide customers with in-person more than 8,000 drop-off locations across the U.S. including Amazon lockers, Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Markets stores, and UPS and Staples locations.
Customers can find Amazon Haul in the Amazon shopping app by searching “Haul” in the search bar, navigating to Amazon Haul from the main menu icon, or by going to the Amazon Haul page of the e-tailer’s site on their mobile device.
"Finding great products at very low prices is important to customers, and we continue to explore ways that we can work with our selling partners so they can offer products at ultra-low prices," said Dharmesh Mehta, VP of worldwide selling partner services at Amazon, in a corporate blog post. "Amazon Haul aims to help make shopping for fashion, home, lifestyle, electronics, and other products even more fun, easy, and affordable. It’s early days for this experience, and we’ll continue to listen to customers as we refine and expand it in the weeks and months to come."
