AMAZON has officially rolled out its new shopping service that’s meant to rival Shein and Temu – and everything is 70% off today.
The online marketplace has introduced its Haul section to offer shoppers thousands of products for £20 or less.

It was initially introduced as a trial for a select number of customers but it’s now been launched more widely.
The platform has also got a huge sale on today only with a massive 70% off everything.
One happy shopper shared on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group that they had got £36 worth of items reduced to £9 in the sale.
Another person said they’d managed to get £107.99 worth of items for £21.60.
A third shopper wrote: “I’ve just got £64 worth of stuff for £12!!!”
And another said: “Ordered the other day. 24 items for around £20!”
A different person said they had bought two power banks reduced from £129 each to £16.
The majority of items on the marketplace are under £10 – and with the sale on today, they’ll come to even less at checkout.
The service is offering free delivery on orders over £15 and you can get an extra 5% off if you spend £30.
It’s worth noting Amazon says orders through Haul will arrive in “two weeks or less” so you may face longer shipping times that you’d normally expect through Amazon.
Some of the deals on offer currently include a Small Crossbody Bag for Women for £2.70, which still has a further 70% off at checkout.
You can also get cotton pillowcases for £6.23, or a pack of microfibre face cloths for £1.80.
It’s worth remembering that something is only a bargain if you would have bought it anyway.
Plus you should still shop around to make sure you’re getting the best deal.
How to use Haul
Haul is only available on mobile currently but if you go on the website on your computer or laptop you’ll be able to scan a QR code to access it.
If you’re on the app, you should be able to see Haul in the sections along the top.
Otherwise you can search Haul in the search bar and hit Enter to be redirected.
The launch comes as Amazon battles the rapid growth of Chinese-linked rivals such as Temu and Shein which have seen sales soar in recent years.
Shein has rapidly become one of the biggest online marketplaces but has come under intense scrutiny over welfare standards.
What is Shein and is it legit?
Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world.
The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M.
The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu.
Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam.
But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews.
There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag.
