Amazon is now selling full-sized foldable houses that users can assemble on their own

Amazon, known for its swift delivery of a myriad of products, is now making headlines by venturing into a new realm – delivering homes directly to your doorstep. This innovative offering, currently available in select countries like the USA, features prefabricated homes with prices ranging from approximately $12,500 to just over $50,000.

One such product gaining attention is the “Zolyndo portable prefabricated tiny home,” priced at $27,000 for its 19x20ft variant. Described as a regular small home, it boasts 2 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 bathroom, and a kitchen. The listing highlights the ease of transportation, a multi-window/door setup, and full electrical wiring. Constructed from materials such as metal, glass, and plastic, these homes also come equipped with hot and cold water, drainage, and insulation pipes.

Reviews on these products exhibit a mixed sentiment, with some users praising their convenience while others criticize them as overpriced. Unlike traditional houses that pose challenges in relocation, these portable prefabricated homes cater to individuals who prefer a mobile lifestyle while still having a place to call home.

While Amazon is making strides in this space, other brands, such as BOXABL, offer similar products both on and outside of the Amazon platform. BOXABL, for instance, specializes in mass-producing tiny houses that boast easy assembly and disassembly within a short timeframe.

The benefits of these prefabricated homes include rapid construction and setup, coupled with ease of transportation. However, it’s worth noting that they may be more susceptible to natural calamities like storms, floods, hurricanes, and heavy snowfall compared to traditional homes. As Amazon continues to diversify its offerings, the world of online retail is witnessing an intriguing expansion into the realm of housing solutions.
