New York: Amazon, renowned for its swift product deliveries, is now making waves in a new frontier – direct-to-doorstep home delivery. This groundbreaking venture, currently available in select countries like the USA, introduces prefabricated homes with prices spanning from approximately $12,500 to just over $50,000.
A notable product gaining traction is the “Zolyndo portable prefabricated tiny home”, priced at $27,000 for its 19x20ft variant. Described as a regular small home, it features 2 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 bathroom, and a kitchen. Emphasizing ease of transportation, a multi-window/door setup, and full electrical wiring, these homes are constructed from materials such as metal, glass, and plastic. Additionally, they come equipped with hot and cold water, drainage, and insulation pipes.
Reviews on these products showcase a mixed sentiment, with some users praising their convenience and others critiquing them as overpriced. Unlike traditional houses that present challenges in relocation, these portable prefabricated homes cater to individuals embracing a mobile lifestyle while still desiring a home base.
While Amazon takes strides in this realm, other brands like BOXABL offer similar products both on and outside of the Amazon platform. BOXABL, for instance, specializes in mass-producing tiny houses with easy assembly and disassembly within a short timeframe.
The advantages of these prefabricated homes include swift construction and setup, coupled with ease of transportation. However, it’s essential to note that they may be more susceptible to natural calamities such as storms, floods, hurricanes, and heavy snowfall compared to traditional homes. As Amazon continues to diversify its offerings, the world of online retail witnesses an intriguing expansion into the realm of housing solutions.
