Sign me up! With the debut of Amazon Haul in beta form this week, we’re finally getting a glimpse of the company’s long-awaited response to Temu and Shein, the discount e-commerce platforms for the TikTok generation that have turned online shopping into something that feels more like playing a game.

Amazon promises that nothing in the Haul category will be more than $20 — and most items will be closer to $10. As an added bonus, Amazon offers an A-to-Z Guarantee, which guarantees all items are authentic and safe — and you have a hassle-free remediation process for products sold and fulfilled by the brand's selling partners.

Amazon is making a strategic move into the ultra-low-cost space as holiday spending kicks into high gear. But price isn't the only reason why US shoppers are addicted to Temu.
