What's Going On With Amazon Stock Wednesday?
Nov 13, 2024 11:10 AM

Amazon.com Inc ( AMZN ) shares are trading higher. The company on Tuesday launched an online storefront designed to compete with Temu.

What To Know: According to a Bloomberg report, Amazon ( AMZN ) has launched a low-cost shopping storefront called “Haul.” Products listed on the storefront are priced to compete with heavily discounted Chinese products from competitors like Temu and Shein.

Chinese e-commerce platforms have built loyal user bases by offering steep discounts on merchandise. The report indicates that Amazon ( AMZN ) began talking with China-based sellers about offering a similar service earlier this year.

Amazon ( AMZN ) will charge a $3.99 fee for shipping on all orders under $25. Purchases are expected to be delivered in one to two weeks, much slower than products ordered from Amazon.com ( AMZN ).

The beta version of Amazon’s “Haul” storefront is available for shoppers using the company’s shopping app. Amazon ( AMZN ) describes the new storefront as an “engaging shopping experience that brings lower priced products into one convenient destination.”

Customers can shop millions of deals across more than 35 categories, including electronics, home, beauty and fashion. New deals will be posted on a daily basis.

Amazon ( AMZN ) noted that its new AI features are expected to facilitate a faster and easier shopping experience this holiday season. Last year, Amazon ( AMZN ) sold more than one billion products to customers during a record 11-day period.

AMZN Price Action: Amazon ( AMZN ) shares were up 2.56% at $214.30 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to Benzinga Pro.
