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.

Sainsbury's to axe three key services in UK stores by summer
The supermarket chain has confirmed it is shutting its remaining patisserie, hot food and pizza counters. This is expected to occur within weeks, as it released its latest financial results for the year up to March 1, 2025. This decision aims to create more space inside stores so that more fresh food options can be offered to customers. Sainsbury's said its most popular food items sold at its patisseries, hot food, and pizza counters will instead be made available in aisles. It has also announced plans to create new 'On the Go' hubs, which will offer hot food to customers from autumn this year. As reported by The Express, in an update, Sainsbury's said: 'In January, we announced a number of propositional changes to food services in our stores in order to drive growth and availability at a reduced cost to serve, allowing us to create further space to offer more fresh food ranges. 'By early summer, we will have closed patisserie, hot food and pizza counters and are making the most popular items available in aisles. "We have now closed all remaining Sainsbury's Cafés and we are converting our scratch bakeries to bake-off, driving improvements in quality, value and availability throughout the day." They added: 'From the Autumn, we will create new On the Go hubs with flexiserve hot food offerings, delivering an improved customer experience.' This announcement from Sainsbury's follows its decision to install cameras above self-service tills, similar to many UK supermarkets. Recommended reading: Tesco joins Sainsbury's in making major change to self-service checkouts Sainsbury's shoppers 'wont use self-checkouts again' as major change rolled out Haul, the new bargain Amazon site, where everything is under £20 However, customers will be shown a replay of themselves scanning and bagging their shopping if not done correctly. The supermarket has said the new security measure 'offers our customers a smooth checkout experience." However, a selection of shoppers were not impressed and some said they 'won't use a self-checkout again.'
