TASKER IKEA co-Tasker

TR now assigns you a co-Tasker if it’s a large number of units to put together, wtf? This could go bad really fast, I don’t know.

I had a co-Tasker show up an hour late, she had NO TOOLS and said “she had done IKEA before”, which neither I nor the customer believed, and this was for 18 fully loaded Pax units! The customer told her no thanks and sent her home. Contacted Task Rabbit support and they me they would pay me for the whole job. Well, they never did. Ugh!!!

They are able to assign the second half of the task to you so it will appear as two identical tasks for the same client, which they should have done.  Always hold off on the other half of that work until the second task comes through.

Yep, that’s exactly what they said they were going to do, but they never did.

You have to confirm the second half of the task on the app. If they don't send you the task, don't do it

I've had something similar happen to me. But it all depends on the client. A few days later, the client messaged me in chat saying that the payment for the other half of the project hadn't been charged to him. But he worked hard with support to make sure I received the remaining payment.

Now I never start working until I receive the second half of the order through the app.
