What’s the difference between Haul and the rest of the cheap junk sold on Amazon?

Probably gets shipped directly from China, bypassing the few labour restrictions that the US still has.

I can understand why it’s a quiet launch. The interface really doesn’t seem as polished or nice as Amazon… it’s exactly the same doomscrolling experience as it is using Temu or AliExpress.
