But the e-commerce giant — beloved for delivering everything from toilet paper to designer duds to your door in just two days — is expanding into the housing market.
Amazon has become the go-to place to buy almost anything and get it delivered to your doorstep in just a few days, and now, Amazon is taking it to the next level, where, you can actually get a brand new home delivered to your doorstep. Currently available in select countries like the USA, these are called pre-fabricated homes, with the price ranging from $12,500 to slightly over $30,000.
According to the description of one such product named
“Zolyndo portable prefabricated tiny home,” priced at $27,000 for the 19x20ft
variant, it will be just like a regular small home with 2 bedrooms, 1 living
room, 1 bathroom, and a kitchen.
Comes with all the amenities
The listing also suggests that, these products are easy to
transport, come with a multi-window/door setup, and all include full electrical
wiring. It makes use of various materials such as metal, glass, and plastic. On
top of that, it also includes hot and cold water, drainage, and insulation
pipes.
As per the reviews, while some users are loving these
products, some users are calling these overpriced. Unlike a typical house,
which isn’t that easy to move around, although not impossible, products like
the Zolyndo portable prefabricated tiny home make it easy for people, who like
to move around and still have a place to live.
There are more options to choose from
Again, there are a lot of brands that currently offer
similar products even outside Amazon, and one such company is BOXABL, which
mass produces these tiny houses, which are easy to assemble and dismantle in a
really short time.
In terms of benefits, these don’t take much time to build or set up, and they are also easy to transport. However, unlike a regular house, these are more susceptible to natural calamities like storms, floods, hurricanes, and excess snowfall.
