MODS International If you’re looking for a new living space, you can now hop over to Amazon and buy an entire house, albeit a very small one, in just a few clicks.
The tiny home — called, would you believe, Tiny Home — costs $36,000, but Amazon Prime members shouldn’t expect it to be delivered within two hours, or for free. Instead, you’ll have to shell out an extra $3,700 for shipping, with delivery promised within three weeks.
Offered by Wisconsin-based MODS International, the Tiny Home is aimed at people who want to focus on “simpler living in a smaller space,” and is the smallest of its designs. It could help if the customers are on the small side as well.
MODS builds its range of houses using the new shipping containers, although unsurprisingly only one is required for a Tiny Home. The 320 square meter structure comes fully furnished and includes a bedroom, shower, toilet, sink, kitchenette and living room. At one end you’ll find double patio doors, while the design also includes plumbing options and electrical connections. It is also fully insulated, has heating and air conditioning.

Now, the Tiny Home isn’t the prettiest tiny home in the neighborhood, as you’ll realize when you check out these outstanding designs from around the world. But for this kind of money, it could be a viable option for some people on a budget or anyone looking to set up a second living space, perhaps away from their main address. Or in their backyard, if it’s big enough.
However, not everyone was singing the praises of MODS’ crate-style homes. For example, in 2016, residents of the town of Milton, Wisconsin, opposed the idea of such a unit appearing in their district, with some “expressing concern that a lower-value home that does not aesthetically fit the neighborhood would reduce their property values,” according to a local media report. .
MODS, on the other hand, says many benefits come with a smaller home, including “mobility, reduced carbon footprint, little or no debt due to low construction costs and expenses, lower taxes and reduced maintenance.”
If you’re looking for more of a cabin than a full-on home, Amazon also offers a number of solutions like this Allwood design for $4,300 (free shipping!) and this more elaborate-looking “wooden shed kit” from Best Barns. for $11,300 (shipping for a rather odd $4.49).
