Amazon is reportedly working on a low-cost storefront to rival Temu

Amazon may be working on a secondary online sales platform that would compete with the absurdly low prices of Chinese retailer Temu, according to a report from The Information.

The outlet claims the upper limit of prices are set at $8 for jewelry, $9 for bedding, $13 for guitars and $20 for sofas that are shipped from its fulfillment center in Guangdong, China under this new "Low-Cost Store." According to the site's sources, orders from this storefront would have slower shipping timelines of nine to 11 days, but would also charge lower fulfillment fees to sellers. In just two years, the bargain basement ecommerce platform has garnered a reputation for selling items of dubious quality as well as questions about relying on"forced" labor.
