Amazon's latest move: launching a discount section with direct shipping from China. Expect 9-11 day delivery times for unbranded, low-quality items under $20. Merchants sign up this summer, with inventory arriving in the fall.

Amazon’s latest brainwave? Competing with Temu’s cheap garbage.

Launching a discount section with direct shipping from China to the U.S.

Here’s the lowdown ↓

1. Direct Shipping:
→ Products ship straight from China. Bye-bye, U.S. warehouses.
→ Because who needs quality control, right?

2. Delivery Timeframe:
→ Get ready to wait 9-11 days.
→ Because waiting for subpar stuff is fun.

3. Product Range:
→ Unbranded fashion, home goods, and daily necessities.
→ Translation: cheap junk no one asked for.

4. Pricing Strategy:
→ Many items under $20.
→ Competing with Temu’s bargain bin quality.

5. Seller Flexibility:
→ Chinese sellers pick their products and pricing.
→ Small batch productions to see what crappy items stick.

6. Launch Timeline:
→ Merchants sign up this summer.
→ Inventory starts flowing in the fall.

Amazon’s racing to the bottom, just like Temu. With direct shipping and low prices, they’re catering to the “get it cheap, throw it away” crowd.

Say goodbye to quality.
↳ Hello to more landfill fodder.

TL;DR:
Amazon’s discount section = direct shipping from China, low prices, and even more low-quality junk.

Brace yourselves for a wave of disposable products.
