Amazon.com is launching an new section to its app and website focused on items that cost $20 or less as the internet retailer looks to fend off rising competition from low-cost platforms Temu and Shein.

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.
