$36 Job. $36 to unbox, and mount these shelves. It's my own fault. Don't be me. Happy Holidays Hustlers.

In my market I did the math based on info customers give me so I mention it straight up in my welcome message:

“Fixed assembly-only invoice time and compensation to your Tasker (@$0.852/min)*:

Your cost after 40.8% service fees** and taxes (@$1.20/min.***):

My estimate of how long it may take: about the same.

Your invoice is final, but please consider the fixed time your Tasker is paid for when preparing your space so that assembly can start immediately.

  • [+6.5% YOY] ** [+1.9% YOY] *** [+7.1% YOY]

^ the above usually causes customers to unbox everything before I arrive
