Initially released in the US late last year, Amazon’s Haul section aims to rival competitors like Temu and Shein, with some items priced at £10 and some even as low as £1
Amazon has launched a brand new service on its website, which allows shoppers to access a never-ending array of ultra-low-prices products.
The online marketplace giant has recently unveiled its new “Haul” section for shoppers. The section – which offers customers thousands of products across fashion, home and lifestyle for £20 or less – is currently being trialled by a select group of Amazon customers. However, it is set to be rolled out to all customers “in the coming weeks”.
Initially released in the US late last year, the Haul section aims to rival competitors like Temu and Shein, with some items priced at £10 and some even as low as £1. However, the only catch is that deliveries for this section will take much longer than Prime’s next-day delivery offering, with parcels set to take up to two weeks to arrive.

Amazon Haul offers free delivery on orders over £15, or a standard delivery charge of £2.99 on orders below £15.00. However, the service will also offer free delivery on all orders over £15, while shoppers can receive an extra 5% off their order when spending more than £50, and 10% off for orders over £75.
Haul is only available through the Amazon app, so you cannot access the section through its website. The section offers its own shopping experience with a separate search, basket, and checkout. If you already have the Amazon mobile app, search “Haul” and then hit “Enter” to be redirected.
Shoppers will also be able to see customers’ reviews and star ratings to help them select products they would like to buy.
Alongside this, the online marketplace noted that all products on Haul go through all “relevant Amazon checks” so customers can be “confident they’ll receive products that are safe and compliant with all applicable regulations and Amazon policies”.
If shoppers want to return items bought on Haul, they can do so for free if requested within 15 days of buying. In the majority of cases, shoppers won’t have to worry about boxes or labels, as their preferred drop-off location – including Post Offices, Asda, Morrisons and others – will handle the packing, labelling, and shipping.
Amazon UK country manager John Boumphrey said: “We are constantly working to provide the best possible shopping experience for customers, and this is another way to offer low prices on a wide selection of products.
“Now more than ever we know our customers are looking to save, and we’re excited to provide more options through the shopping app they already know and love.”
