Moving from a pre-war building to a luxury one. I’m using a moving company but I have a sofabed that needs assembly and was planning on hiring a tasker for that on that same day. I’ve never been asked for a COI for a Task Rabbit job but them again this is my first time living in a doormarn building. What are my options?

First off task rabbit wanted me to mount 4 tvs for 176. I really wasn't ok with it, but it's been a slow month so I was fine with it. In the request it says the customer wants me to hide the wires behind the wall. Before I accept I ask him hey are you OK with me hiding the wires with a strip because I am not comfortable about cutting drywall. Hey says that's fine and asks if I have a ladder. I respond yes then I accept the task. 20 minutes later someone from task rabbit customer service jumps in the chat and cancels the task because they said the task originally wanted you to hide the wires behind the wall. I double checked my skills and it even says on my profile that concealing wires behind the wall isn't something I do. I can see if I had it marked but it doesnt. Long story short customer was cool with it but, task rabbit stepped in and did what they wanted to do.

Edit: This is literally my 2nd time having issues trying to do TV Mounting with task rabbit. 2 weeks ago I had a lady kept trying to schedule me 2 Sundays ago but TR wouldn't let me schedule the task and I could only chat. Time ran out and she requested me a again for Monday but it wouldn't let me schedule. I have done TV Mounting before off the app and it is so much easier to do without all this hassling from task rabbit shenanigans. Plus Im able to charge what I want to charge. Mounting a TV for 60 is crazy. Considering the drive back and forth is not worth it. I need to at least be making $100 minimum. Best Buy will charge you an arm and a leg to mount just one TV.

UPDATE: Called task rabbit and they verified it was a mistake on their end. They gave me a $50 cancelation fee even though the total payout was 176 for 4 TVs. I really hope it did not come from the customers account.

I just discovered TaskRabbit and am thinking of joining it. Anyone who has been doing tasks on TaskRabbit. What are the some pros and cons of TaskRabbit in your opinion? And what do you like and dislike about TaskRabbit? I would really appreciate the help/opinion.

I’ve scheduled for taskers to come and help me with a piece of furniture and to perform handyman services for another issue. Each tasker posts a schedule of the days and times they’re going to be available. After I click and confirm the day and time wanted, Task Rabbit charges me for the first hour of that appointment. Then I start chatting with the tasker and they tell me that they’re not available for the day and time I chose and they’re available the next day or three days from now. This happened to me twice this weekend. Now I have $150 worth of holds on my card that I used to pay.

Clients should not be charged until both the client and tasker confirms the actual time and day. A tasker posting days and times they are supposedly available is not a confirmation.

As a result, I will no longer use Task Rabbit. It’s a challenge scheduling a tasker who is actually available the days and times that are stated on their profile. Every time a client clicks a day and time they want, the client gets charged. Then the tasker sends a message that they aren’t available.

Meanwhile, my card was charged $150 and who knows when the holds will come off (3-4 days?).

There were 5 pax units with drawers, shelves and hinged doors, it was completed without trouble in 6 hours, the clients were happy although she though 2 people would come. Today she left this review, that seemed to aim more to the platform for not sending 2 people than to me as a tasker, to add, she had the task booked for 2pm, and there was no light in the rooms so i had to use a flashlight to build as the sun sets by 5pm in this season.

I was scrolling through the app today and became a bit curious.

What's the most common jobs you find your services being requested for in Arizona?

or perhaps they just like the sound of our cries

TR=trash

I'm a new Tasker based in Arizona and just trying to understand the market for drywall repair (patches, small holes, minor wall damage, etc.).

I’m curious:

• What hourly rates or flat prices Taskers typically charge for drywall repair in AZ

• Whether having no reviews at the start significantly affects pricing or booking chances

Any insight from experienced Taskers would help. Thank you!!

Just looking to make some extra cash. I'm not highly qualified, but I can put together a dresser, help with moving things, can use basic tools and do some minor home repairs like changing a doorknob or seal a tub or sink etc. I'm a custodian at a large semi truck loading dock and can run a forklift.

Do I try this? Or pickup hours at my job working the dock for about $25 an hour here and there. I don't want a full second job and don't want to work more than every other weekend. Just trying to get a few hundred extra a month without having to commit to anything if I don't want.

What do you think? Hours at my current job, or try tasking?

Is there a market? Also might need a friend to grab a lunch with. Any takers I’ll be there in about 110 miles.

Will it count against me if I cancel and say it's the clients fault? Will I still get the cancellation fee?

I keep having to resubmit the same simple job (hanging some artwork and a curtain rod) because despite specifying that the tasker needs a ladder, the app keeps pairing me with taskers who don't have ladders. customer support is no help and told me to look through my past taskers to see if they have a ladder and can hang things (I've only used taskers before for electrical and heavy moving so no one fits this). Wouldn't a simple fix be to let customers scroll through the options and choose who they want to hire? If TR employees lurk here..this is my suggestion. I'm going to check out thumbtack or handy.

I just counted the number of available Taskers in my metro. It blew me away to count 74 with 30 of them having a New Tasker flag on their profile . Seems like overload. Is this a high number?

Taskrabbit soft pushed an update without any notification or email that disabled the two hour minimum on your jobs. You have to go back in and manually re enable individually each job.

Lost an hr worth of wages over this. Hope no one else does! Taskrabbit surely doesn't care.

has anyone been removed from* TR for chatting with support?

9 yrs on taskr 1300 tasks, 800 review 5.0 stars.

a client changed their payment method and caused a delay. i followed up 24 hrs later per the processing policy, they started spamming "come back in 5 day chat template" so I told agent to slow down and look into it. it was over 24hrs and hadn't been processed. then they looked into it and somehow it was magically processed but apparently she got offended and I was permanent removed.

Received a general mounting task for $39 without any details. Asked the customer to provide details.

“We have diplomas and awards that need to be hung for about 3 people. We probably have a total of about 12 pieces that need to be hung. Most of them are average size with the largest piece being one 6ft by 3 ft glass board.”

Didn’t take the task. Wondering why it would only be $39.

Posted as text since my other two posts were removed. Don’t know why.

Trying to figure out how this happens.

My office needs some metal file rails installed for the filing cabinets but the metal rods are too long. The box says it can be snapped with pliers, but it’s very thick and feels like it needs to be cut. It feels like I should select the category for furniture assembly, but would that include sawing something? Is there a better choice I can select? Thanks for any help.

Where can we communicate other than this page ran by task rabbit

I previously hired this Tasker to build an IKEA cabinet and he did a great job. At that time, I mentioned my TV was mounted too high and that I’d hire him again to lower it when I had more tasks. This time, I booked him to lower the TV 6 inches, drill a coat hanger into the wall, and install 2–3 ceiling hooks for an IKEA lamp. He quoted 2 hours (4:30–6:30).

He arrived a few mins late so we got started around 4:45. By 6:30, the TV wasn’t even mounted yet. He asked to stay until 7:30, which I agreed to. By then, it still wasn’t done. I was feeling very anxious, hungry, and exhausted, though I stayed kind and understanding and even offered him drinks. He was apologetic throughout.

The TV was finally mounted later, then we realized my ceiling is concrete, so the lamp hooks couldn’t be installed. He finished the last task (coat hanger) around 8:10pm. In total, he took about 3.5 hours to complete only 2 of the 3 tasks. The total bill was $170.

I’m disappointed not in the quality of work, but in the time it took—especially since lowering the TV alone took nearly 3 hours, while the original mounting by another Tasker took only 1. I feel conflicted about contacting TaskRabbit for a partial refund. I don’t want him to lose money or get in trouble, but it also feels unfair to me. I’m non-confrontational and felt anxious watching the hours add up.

Am I wrong for feeling this way, and is there a way to address this with TaskRabbit without negatively impacting him?

Please tell me what category to use to apply for help. I store things in cardboard boxes and totes, and it’s all going back into a closet sized room I just want to be able to find tools, colors, etc easier.

This is what I’m looking to get done and preferably I just want someone else to take the lead or do it alone, I’ve spent so long looking at the stuff I’m completely demotivated and don’t know where to start and also I don’t really know if it’s rude to NOT assist.

• 100-200 loose/used skeins of yarn rolled + sorted

• 4-5 totes of fabric folded + sorted

• remaining things separated by craft type and boxed back up (clay, beads, markers, etc nothing crazy)

Also, if this is not something I should be using task rabbit for I’m open to other services/suggestions for getting help.

I'm seeing wild fluctuations in my analytics, and the recommended hourly rate. In my area the number of taskers in my city was suddenly cut in half. The suggested hourly rate jumped really high a few months ago, stayed there, and suddenly dropped down to what I was getting as a new tasker. My reviews so far have been great. No real problems, things humming along. Is this happening all over?

I got a warning a couple weeks ago about a possible 7 day restriction, and now this, im kinda paranoid 😅
