Amazon has recently rolled out a new shopping experience called Amazon Haul. It’s a budget-friendly way to score fashion, home goods, lifestyle items, small electronics, and more, all priced at $20 or less, with most items under $10. Designed with savings in mind, Amazon Haul is available in beta for U.S. customers using the Amazon Shopping app; now it’s also accessible via desktop at amazon.com/haul.

But is it really the savvy shopper’s dream? Let’s break it down.

What Is Amazon Haul?

Amazon Haul is a special section within Amazon that features deeply discounted items, such as:

Jewelry sets under $3
Tech accessories like phone cases for less than $2
Home décor like table runners starting at $2.99
Practical buys like grilling tools and winter gloves under $5

These items often ship within one to two weeks, and Amazon promises all products are backed by its A-to-z Guarantee, which offers protection if a product is defective, damaged, or not as described.

Pros of Amazon Haul

💰 Ultra-Low Prices

You’ll find tons of items under $10—and some as low as $1. This is perfect if you’re shopping on a tight budget or just looking to snag some fun extras without spending much.

‼️ Extra Discounts

If you bundle up your shopping cart:

Orders over $50 = 5% off
Orders over $75 = 10% off

🛍️ Wide Variety

There’s a little bit of everything—fashion accessories, home gadgets, beauty tools, electronics accessories, and seasonal décor.

📦 Free Returns (On Most Items)

Items over $3.00 can be returned for free within 15 days, using Amazon’s network of 8,000+ drop-off locations (including Kohl’s, Staples, UPS Stores, Whole Foods, etc.).

✅ Amazon’s A-to-Z Guarantee

This built-in protection adds peace of mind—especially since many items are sold by third-party sellers.

Cons of Amazon Haul

🐌 Slower Shipping

Expect delivery times of one to two weeks—a big step down from Amazon Prime’s famously fast shipping. If you need something quickly, this probably isn’t the place to shop.

🎭 Mixed Quality

Many items are sourced from third-party sellers overseas. While Amazon claims to screen for safety and authenticity, quality may still vary widely—and customer reviews aren’t always available or helpful.

💸 $25 Minimum for Free Shipping

Orders under $25 come with a $3.99 shipping fee. You’ll need to buy multiple items to skip the charge.

🐞 Beta Mode Bugs

Since Amazon Haul is still in beta, some users have reported occasional glitches in search, cart, or checkout experiences. Navigation isn’t always as smooth as standard Amazon shopping.

🚫 Not Everything Is Returnable

Items under $3 aren’t eligible for free returns, which might be frustrating if you’re trying something out without knowing what to expect.

Is Amazon Haul Right for You?

Amazon Haul is worth exploring if:

You love browsing deals and enjoy trying new things
You’re looking for gift fillers, seasonal décor, or everyday essentials on a dime
You don’t mind waiting a bit longer for delivery
You prefer shopping in small batches without spending a fortune
