Amazon Is Now In Real Estate, Sells And Ships Pre-Fabricated Homes To Customers

As the premier online retail giant in the industry, Amazon has a lot of clout in many sectors. Now, it would seem that the merchant behemoth is making a move to completely revolutionize selling homes. Customers can now order actual, livable pre-fabricated dwellings made from shipping containers. Unfortunately, it would seem that there are quite a few issues involved with the products and the seller.

These pre-fabricated tiny homes are made by the company MODS International and on its Amazon page, the company explains what customers can expect from the product. As would be expected from a residence made out of shipping containers, space is going to be an issue, but it seems all the necessary amenities such as toilet and kitchen sink are provided.

All in all, the home would be about 320-sq/ft. and is highly customizable. It would also seem that connecting the home to power and water is made easy, with the container already sporting both heating and air-conditioning, Futurism reports.

What really makes this particular offer standout is how little it costs. For as much as $40,000, customers can have a home that is fully insulated and can be modified depending on their needs.

On that note, it’s worth pointing out that there have been some issues brought up on the homes’ Amazon page. Some reviewers are writing that the company MODS International is bogged down by lawsuits from previous customers, while others are accusing the owner of taking people’s money without finishing the job.

Of course, it’s easy to make accusations online, and without any proof, it’s best to take these allegations with a grain of salt. Many other customers are also leaving reviews that they are happy with the home and urban experts are praising miniature dwellings as an environmentally friendly means of finding a residence.
