The shipping container home thing is similar to making furniture out of shipping pallets. Not functional, not aesthetically pleasing, and probably dangerous (chemically treated wood vs hot metal box that takes too much work to be livable).
If Amazon was a competent company that was better than its predecessors, then it would have kit-homes like the Sears catalog used to, and no one would bother with this container BS. But instead it's oops-all-dropshipping.
I keep saying ads for pre-fab tiny homes that are approaching like 90m² pop up. That used to be like a sears catalogue single family home. I think we're getting there, if not there already
A good modular home design could fit in a couple shipping containers easily (if packed right). Some stuff will still be needed on site like a level surface and a sewage/water/electric hookup.
