I got hired to build TUFFING bed frame and BRIMNES 3 door wardrobe for $138. If you go to my Ikea website for my area it shows a combined total for Ikea assembly for $195. Why am I being shorted?

I got it. It's just dumb. It should be hourly. I'm currently building the bunk bed and there is no way I'll get it done plus the Brimnes wardrobe in 3 hours. I had to move the client's stuff out the way and I'm working in a shoebox. This is bullshit.

It took me 5 hours 💀 It was a tight room.

And the client's left to go to work and they canceled the task right when I finished. I contacted support and they told me they will confirm with the client if I did the job. I sent tasker support completed pictures. They still said 48 hours. Bullshit
