I spent an hour digging through the land mine that is Amazon Haul — Here's what's worth buying, and how you can save an extra 40% off during Prime Day
It's the final hours of Amazon Prime Day. If you're not all spent out, there's one final deal destination to explore, and that is Amazon Haul.I've only recently given much notice to this flashy section filled with a hodgepodge of items in all categories and quality. This new deals section is very reminiscent of what you may find on Temu, Shein, or the chaos that is TikTok Shop, but backed by the reliability of Amazon. To incentive you to try it, Amazon is offering you 40% off your entire Haul purchase. Yes, I tried it myself, and when I hit checkout, my entire cart dropped by 40%. Check back in two weeks ( that's how long you're quoted for shipping) to see my official haul. I've found some real gems, and even some viral TikTok deals, like Kate Spade dinner plates, a fare amount of Adidas, and even a 59 cent spoon rest in the shape of a Ravioli, that is practically free once you factor in the though, this special 40% off your cart expires at 11:59 PST.A quick takeaway of my findings: Dash's classic Rapid Egg Cooker gets a pink Peeps makeover. It can whip up hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, and even a Peeps-shaped omelet in minutes. This cute little ravioli-shaped spoon rest is cheaper than a gumball when you factor in the 40% off deal. This lightweight throw blanket with fringe detail is a beautiful accent piece for your sofa or bed. These rechargeable under-cabinet lights automatically turn on when motion is detected, making them great to add to a kitchen, stairwell, or closet. There are three light settings, and a charge can last up to two months. This electronic lighter elevates your candle lighting experience. It has a safety switch to keep it from accidentally igniting and charges with a USB-C. Rather than stick your head in your microwave and hack away for half an hour at the food crud that has been in there since 200 heating sessions ago, use this accessory to loosen it up first. If you're a Squishmallow collector, this plushie is not a want, but a need. This battery-powered water flosser has four different modes, including a sensitive and a gum massage setting, and six different nozzles, including an orthodontic tip for irregular teeth, braces, and implants cleaning, and a tongue scraping tip. A charge lasts up to 30 days. Upgrade your shower with these top-rated shower steamers, which are made with essential oils.

Drip a few of these glow drops into your favorite moisturizer to give yourself a sun-kissed tan.

Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics Names STG's Green Haul Solution as a Recipient of 2025 Top Supply Chain Projects Award
This award profiles innovative case study-type projects designed to automate, optimize, streamline and improve the supply chain. COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Supply & Demand Chain Executive, the only publication covering the entire global supply chain, and Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of product through the global cold food supply chain, named STG Logistics' Green Haul Solution as one of the winners of this year's Top Supply Chain Projects award, which profiles innovative case study-type projects designed to automate, optimize, streamline and improve the supply chain. Several STG customers wanted more environmentally sustainable and efficient solutions to transport their goods from the warehouse to the road, and they wanted to reduce the number of trucks needed onsite to do so. A typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - and when it comes to storage sites, having multiple trucks on site at the same time creates significant traffic congestion. To address these issues, STG's Over the Road (OTR) division developed a streamlined loading process utilizing their containers, driving them in and out of customer facilities. This process replaced the need for delivery trucks to come into the warehouses. This program provides a cost-effective shipping option for STG's customers, which means they receive a well-priced, competitive product. For STG, it leverages the organization's assets, leading to an improved use of fuel for everyone involved. "Our Green Haul program has resulted in an emissions savings equal to removing 14 passenger vehicles from the road, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 68.79 metric tons annually," said Vince Paperiello, Executive Vice President and Group President, Transportation at STG. "This not only maximizes our drivers' time - it allows STG to provide customers with exceptionally competitive rates and is a stable solution during volatile markets." "Many of today's supply chain companies are tasked with providing the utmost in visibility. Whether it's tracking reverse logistics, implementing financial software or upgrading sourcing solutions, collaborations and partnerships are what make supply chain projects a success. That's why it's important to celebrate those projects (and partnerships)," says Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive and co-founder of the Women in Supply Chain Forum. The key benefits include cost savings through backhaul optimization, a reduction in environmental impact due to fewer empty miles, access to STG's established intermodal network, and enhanced ESG compliance. About STG Logistics STG is a leading national containerized logistics services provider including asset-based intermodal transportation, marine and rail drayage, warehousing and transloading services and over-the-road FTL and LTL services. With over 40 years experience in domestic logistics, STG has access to every major rail, ramp, and port in the country.

Fleetworthy acquires Haul for AI-enhanced fleet compliance
Fleetworthy recently announced it had acquired Haul, a provider of AI-powered compliance and safety technology. The combination expands Fleetworthy's offering by adding artificial intelligence and automation to its capabilities, including automated document audits, intelligent driver onboarding and scorecards, and real-time compliance monitoring. The safety and compliance gains continue to build out Fleetworthy's existing technology suite, which includes toll management and weigh station bypass from its acquisitions of Drivewyze and Bestpass. Existing Haul users will continue to benefit from its platform, which now includes backing by Fleetworthy's nationwide support and infrastructure. 'This acquisition is a pivotal moment in our growth as we transform the way fleets manage compliance and safety,' said Mike Precia, president and chief strategy officer of Fleetworthy in the release. 'Haul's platform brings powerful automation, actionable insights, and intuitive user experiences that align perfectly with our vision of delivering the best fleet technology.' Another benefit is Haul's platform integration with leading telematics providers, allowing fleets to look at real-time driver behavior data, automated risk scoring and targeted driver coaching. Tim Henry, co-founder of Haul said in the release, 'At Haul, we've always believed that AI has the power to fundamentally improve fleet compliance and operations. Joining Fleetworthy gives us the scale and reach to achieve that vision, and I'm excited for the next phase of innovation.'Looking ahead post-acquisition, Fleetworthy hopes the gains translate into traction in the small to mid-size fleet space, fertile ground for automation because of their limited safety and compliance departments. San Francisco based Samsara recently announced a new program and integrations designed to help companies switch to their AI-powered platform. The Upgrade for Smarter Operations program targets telematics and tech providers who, as the release notes, may have inadequate capabilities and customer support. Eligible companies to upgrade include organizations like Geotab, ISAAC, Lytx, Motive, Netradyne, Solera (previously Omnitracs), Titan GPS, Verizon Connect, among others. One organization who recently switched was truckload and LTL carrier Arcbest. 'We accomplished more in three months than we did in three years with our previous provider,' said Lloyd Keefer, manager of strategic vendor management at ArcBest in the release. On the integration front, Samsara recently partnered with Element, the largest publicly traded, pure-play automotive fleet manager in the world to streamline procurement and onboarding for shared customers. The expanded partnership allows Element clients in Canada and the U.S. access to Samsara's open platform, pairing Element's lifecycle fleet management with Samsara's connected operations tech.'At the core of this unique partnership is a shared commitment to redefine how fleets operate—seamlessly integrating intelligence, automation, and expertise to create real enterprise value for our clients,' said David Madrigal, EVP and chief commercial officer at Element in the release. 'Through our integrated expertise, we remain focused on maximizing the performance of clients' fleets so they can focus on growing their business.'

Amazon launches bargain portal Haul in Germany
German shoppers can now hunt for bargains on Amazon's new portal, Haul. The new section offers items at particularly low prices, according to the company. "We know that it is important for customers in Germany to find great products at very low prices," Amazon Germany chief executive officer, Rocco Bräuniger, told the German Press Agency. Haul includes items from the fashion, homeware and lifestyle categories. According to Amazon, thousands of products will be available for 20 euros or less, most for under 10 euros. Haul has been available in the US since November and in the UK since early May. The new section is integrated into the existing online shop and will initially be available to selected customers in the app from today, Amazon stated. In the coming weeks, Haul will be made available to all other customers. To find Haul, one can enter 'Haul' in the app's search field or navigate there via the icon in the main menu. Amazon entices with extra discounts Market leader Amazon is under pressure from competition. Asian shopping portals, such as Temu, have recently seen significant growth in Germany. E-commerce expert, Alexander Graf, from the software firm Spryker, said: "Wherever Temu is successful, Amazon needs a response, hence a new platform. That is what Haul is meant to be." Amazon is enticing customers with extra discounts. There is a five percent discount for a purchase value of 50 euros and a ten percent discount from 75 euros. Products are sold by Amazon itself, not by third-party sellers. The company ships the products directly to customers from its logistics centre in China. Orders should be delivered within two weeks, free of charge for orders over 25 euros. Buyers can return items within 15 days of delivery at no extra cost. According to Amazon, the goods offered at Haul undergo all necessary checks, so that customers "can rely on receiving products that are safe and comply with all applicable regulations and Amazon guidelines".

Amazon launches Haul in UK in response to Shein and Temu
While the French Parliament is about to vote on the anti-fast-fashion bill, and the EU plans to tax small parcels inbound from China, Amazon is gearing up to join the fray in Europe. The US group is trialling in the UK Amazon Haul, a site launched in the US at the end of 2024 as a response to Shein and Temu. Haul is offering UK consumers several tens of thousands of products priced below £20, the majority of them actually below £10, and some with prices as low as £1. Delivery costs £2.99, and is free on orders from £15. Fashion and beauty are heavily represented within the assortment on offer, being five of the nine categories available on Amazon Haul, which is a mobile-only site. Besides womenswear, menswear and beauty, Haul also features sportswear and accessories. The range includes plenty of tops and skirts at £5, dresses at £7, and trousers at £13. 'This is another way to offer low prices on a wide selection of products,' said John Boumphrey, country manager UK at Amazon, adding that '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.' Just as Shein says it's 'democratising fashion', Amazon is justifying Haul with giving consumers access to a wider range of products. Amazon Haul's low prices stem from Chinese producers selling directly on the site, using the US group's own warehouses on the eastern coast of China. Deploying Haul in Europe could also be a cunning way for Amazon to circumvent the new tariffs imposed by the US administration on the Chinese products sold on the low-cost site, for which Europe could be an alternative outlet. Last year, Amazon generated revenue of $638 billion, up 11%, and its net income increased by 95% to reach $59.2 billion.
