Amazon Home Services Launches Today

Amazon has announced the launch of their highly anticipated Home Services web-based application. Presented as an online marketplace for industry professionals that can help you install, maintain and implement your various household purchases, the services offered are as varied as what you might expect to find on Amazon itself. From slightly mundane chores such as TV installation and routine cleaning to something as outlandish as hiring a silk aerialist, over 700 professional services are available and covered by Amazon’s Happiness Guarantee. The company stated in their press release that, “In less than 60 seconds, customers can now browse, purchase and schedule hundreds of professional services” from a database of certified industry men and women that have been personally invited by Amazon, vetted accordingly and in possession of the relevant trade licenses.

Currently available across most of the U.S., Amazon Home Services will match lower advertised prices for professionals and their services listed within its application and has roughly 2.4 million ‘pre-packaged’ plans that can be added to your cart. Considering Amazon started as an online book store some 20 years ago, they have come a long way and once again proven why they are one of the world’s leading e-commerce platforms.
