What?
Amazon is launching its new Amazon Haul , which has just debuted in the European Union. The platform promises to offer customers exceptionally low prices on thousands of products, competing directly with Chinese giants like Temu and Shein.
Why?
Amazon's new project aims to reclaim some of the market lost to low-cost shopping platforms from Asia. Through streamlined logistics processes and loyalty programs, the company hopes to attract users who value low prices but expect faster delivery and greater brand trust.
Who is it for?
Amazon Haul is aimed at a wide audience – from individual consumers looking for affordable products to online store looking to analyze new pricing and marketing strategies in the digital world.
Background to the topic
Chinese platforms like Temu and Shein have gained immense popularity in Europe in recent years thanks to aggressive pricing and marketing campaigns. Amazon—formerly associated with fast delivery of branded products—is now entering the low-cost online shopping . Amazon Haul is a project that aims to be Europe's answer to the "buy-for-it" phenomenon.
How does Amazon Haul work?
Amazon Haul is a separate section within the main Amazon platform where users can find products at very attractive prices. The goods offered are sourced from verified suppliers and delivered from European fulfillment centers. This approach aims to eliminate the long wait times for shipments from Asia, a problem that often discouraged users of Temu and Shein.
Why is Amazon introducing a new shopping model?
According to analysts, Amazon has noticed a growing trend of "value shopping"—the search for maximum value at a low price. Customers are increasingly choosing cheaper products, even at the expense of quality. Amazon Haul aims to attract this group of users while providing them with a higher standard of service and a reliable shopping experience.
Strategy to compete with Temu and Shein
Amazon plans to combine attractive prices with local delivery and the Prime program. This will allow customers to receive products faster than from Chinese marketplaces, without the risk of additional customs duties. The company also intends to support European sellers who will be able to reach new market segments with Amazon Haul.
How can Amazon Haul benefit consumers and businesses?
- Greater availability of cheap products – users will gain access to a wide range of products at attractive prices.
- Shorter delivery times – thanks to logistics centers in the EU, shipments can arrive within 48 hours.
- Shopping security – customers benefit from Amazon's returns policy and buyer protection.
- New opportunities for retailers – European brands can introduce lower-priced product lines on Haul.
