FULL STORY ======================================================================Amazon just launched Haul, where all products are $20 or less ... way less You won't score free shipping with Prime This Temu, Shein, or TikTok Shop alternative
is home to a host of products

Look at Temu, Shein, and TikTok Shop now Amazon wants a piece of the ultra-low-cost, generally patience-required shopping buzz. The answer? Well, thats Amazon Haul.

Amazon Haul is a new mobile-only experience within the Amazon app that offers dozens upon dozens of ultra-affordable products, including fashion, home goods, tech accessories, and even jewelry. While Amazon normally heralds
Prime at every opportunity, its not featured here.

To score free shipping that isnt all that fast delivery estimates are one to two weeks youll need to spend at least $25. Otherwise, shipping is $3.99 for that same time frame. In fact, that fee might be more than what the product you want costs, as some items including a Stainless Steel Couple Ringare
just $0.99. (Image credit: Future/Jacob Krol)

All products on Amazon Haul are under $20, and the experience is very much like a social feed. A rolling top banner rotates with options like Warm layers. Cool prices. or Activewear that wont stretch your budget. This is a quick attention grabber, with rolling stats below it and then many featured products across categories. Amazon is also leaning toward emojis and bright colors for the design here. Regardless of product type, Amazon offers additional discounts for Haul, including 5% off when you spend $50 or more
and 10% off when you spend $75 or higher.

Haul might be safer than purchasing from Temu or Shein because Amazon backs
it with the brand's A-to-Z Guarantee, which offers some consumer protection. Also, you can contact Amazons customer support if something goes wrong. You can return any item that costs more than $3.00 within 15 days; it seems like youre out of luck for lower-priced options, though.

Like TikTok Shop, Temu, or Shein, Haul is clearly designed to encourage purchasing and you can move through it pretty quickly from homepage to category to product to checkout. The product pages are also a bit more brief than a standard Amazon one. Take this Water Ripple Pattern Phone Case for example; it has six photos, most of which are of the actual product and minimal details, including an estimated delivery time frame, details on the product, and then similar choices in case you dont like this one.

Amazon Haul is live now in beta in the Amazon app and on the mobile version
of the shopping site in the United States. Its early days, though, with Amazons VP of Worldwide Selling Partner Services, Dharmesh Mehta, saying that Amazon will continue to listen to customers as we refine and expand it in the weeks and months to come.

Further, its evident what Haul is all about lower-priced products from a
more trusted name, at least in Amazons eyes, as all purchases are backed by Amazons A-to-Z product guarantee so customers can shop with confidence that the products theyre purchasing are safe, authentic, and in the condition expected.

It offers a wide range of products, including fashion shoes and jewelry as well as home goods, electronics, accessories, kitchen, beauty, and sports. Youll also find seasonal items, including a ton of stuff geared toward the holidays; youll just want to order soon enough so you can haul, haul, haul.

I was able to start browsing Amazon Haul in beta right from the Amazon app on an iPhone, though if youre not seeing it, you may want to check for an update and ensure youre in the United States. Ill browse the virtual aisles of this new low-cost experience and report on what I find just give me about two weeks time.
