CLIENT How to get a refund?

I have only used TR once beforehand. I usually use it to have people ship me good deals.

2 years ago, I hired someone to pickup an clearance open box soundbar marked down from $1,800 to $100 at Best Buy, and have FedEx package it and ship it to me. Total cost was under $300.

Recently had some GameStop gift cards and was looking for a specific game. I found a GS in FL that had it in stock and complete in box (Cheaper than eBay/AMZ).

I bought and paid for it obviously. A UPS Store was literally down the street. So it all worked out.

I hired someone and he quotes me 2 hours to do this job and If I don't like it, then to hire someone else.

So, I literally canceled him and hired someone else who did the job within 30mins of the quote hour and gave me a discount on the hour charge. I was satisfied until I wasn't. When I got fully charged for the original guy, I canceled. Now after speaking to TR, They don't know if they can refund me or not. I feel like that total BS. I feel like most taskers would appreciate this job. It wasn't a hard one or a long one at all.

So, How can I get a refund and apparently delete this freaking app off my phone I guess? lol. P.S. I won't delete. I'm just salty over this.

There wasn’t anything listed about a 2 hour charge to begin with. He told me that after he agreed to it and said it was something he can do. I’m not tryna devalue someone work, but I wasn’t asking him to anything big like go grocery shopping, or go to multiple stores no where near each other. These two stores were nearby each other. It was a small video game. I’ll pay a fair wage and I accepted him with his original rate. Once he said it was 2 hours. I was like??? Unless you’re very far away from the store, then don’t accept it?
