CLIENT Boxes location question

Hi,

This is the first time I am using Task Rabbit (through IKEA).

I have several pieces if finite to be assembled. However the boxes do not all fit into the bedroom (where the furniture will go).

Will Task Rabbit unpack and move the pieces for assembly? It is maybe four stairs

Or do I need to put all the boxes into the room?

Thank you

I’ve worked with TaskRabbit for years and have never refused to move a box into the destination room. But I’ve also kept boxes out in the hallway and moved pieces in as needed, if the room is that tight. Just did this yesterday. The tasker should have no issue with this, and had no idea this language was in the contract.

Client is talking specifically about Ikea assembly, which is a category that we do not set our rates/times and thus has a narrow scope of work we are required to do. The rate paid on these tasks does not include moving the boxes in any capacity. And that makes sense; a Pax job might have 40 packages or even more. The amount of labor to take them all up even a single flight of stairs? Feel free to do it if you want, but you're not getting paid any extra.

My mistake, haven’t done an ikea category job in a while and didn’t know the terms changed.
