Home Assembly

I will spend little time on this topic as I think it requires only a short time to let you know how this work from home job sucks. This is one of the worst work from home opportunities that is available. Some have benefited but most do not. Most of these jobs are scams and those that are not, get lost in the sea of scam home assemble "Jobs" that are available.

How these jobs works, is that you pay an initial application fee for the items you are to assemble in addition to reading material, then the company sends items to be assembled to make finished goods like toys, CD cases etc. You then submit the assembled items to the company and theoretically, you are to get paid per finished goods assembled.

What usually happens however is that you never get paid. They almost always claim that the items were not assembled properly and because of this, they refuse to pay you. So what they actual do to make money is to sell items for assembly into finished goods and reading material on how to assemble the finished product. I have also heard that some of these companies sells the items that they claim were not assembled properly, and so they profit by this sale and the initial application fee.

If you have been scammed by these companies, please contact the Federal Trade Commission, but I can tell you from now that it is very difficult to prove that you assembled the items properly or within the companies standards. A good way to help with this though is to make a video recording of the items assembled, but even this may not be sufficient.

If you are interested in home assembly, but do not want to be scammed, stay away from online home assembly jobs where:

  • The companies website has out of date information and excessive broken links;
  • Websites are unprofessional and tacky;
  • There is no contact information or help desk;
  • Help Desk is difficult to contact;
  • There are no money back guarantees;
You should also check online forums about the home assembly job you are interested in and be careful of those companies that offer big paydays, as realistically, why would someone pay you thousands of dollars per month to assemble finished goods from home when the average in house company assembler is paid close to minimum wage.

If home assembly is what peaks your interest, then go for it, but be very very careful and prepare to loss some money.
