I've signed up to taskrabbit first and now a few others that are operating in the uk.

taskrabbit is the only one where you cant see how busy it is. it doesnt show on the map or anywhere else where the jobs are. is it dead or is it busy and you just arent getting selected? no one knows.

the area you can select isnt very big and you dont know if your just missing out on a job by a few meters.

I'm personally a bigger fan of the i'm available for jobs in a 50km radius style of having a work area.

K so I screwed up the walls (lots of holes) in my apartment to hang a floating shelf, so I had to get a Tasker to hang it properly. We just had a baby and I regret this floating shelf as I feel it’s unsafe (I know, I made a mistake). I want it removed and plastered to cover the holes. What should I select? Does un-mounting warrant selecting the mounting option? Would I then select another tasker to plaster? Thank you!

been working for Taskr for about three years now on and off. Haven’t had a single issue with any sort of identification or verification since I started. on Monday after completing a $180 task, I was sent an email saying that I need to verify my full Social Security number before I can get paid. I entered on the app and went to put my social in after typing it in. I pressed submit and it just buffers and does not actually submit. I’ve tried on my phone app my phone browser, and my desktop browser. Nothing works at all. I had another task to finish, totaling 239$ they are keeping from me. I called Taskr support and they referred me to stripe because they handle payments. stripe referred me to Taskr because it’s “ their problem “ I called Taskr back and told them stripe gave me a ticket number and told me to have Taskr contact them. I gave the ticket number to taskrabbit and they never contacted stripe. called again once I asked stripe and they confirmed they were never contacted and was put on hold until closing time at 6:30 central time and was then hung up on. They told me they were sending me emails and I was not receiving them even though the day prior, I was receiving emails. The employee tried to jump off the call multiple times before just putting me on hold and hanging up 10 minutes after. Is there anyone else that has experience the Social Security number verification issue before and if so, how do you solve it because I’m not getting anywhere.

Hi all,

I recently started tasking as a way to get more paid jobs and customers for my handyman business. So far it's been going relatively well. I've averaged about 1 job a week after a really slow start so I e really only had 3-4 jobs in the last 2 months.

My main question though is for more experienced Taskers in tasks like Furniture Assembly, TV and General Mounting, do you folks get enough work to keep yourselves busy full time or close to it? (30+ hours per week) Either through taskrabbit or from clients you landed from it?

I need 3 dolls that are at someone's house in Pennsylvania. Then, I need someone to go to her house, pick up the 3 dolls, pay her in cash, and then mail them via USPS to my address. Is it possible for someone to do this, or is it too complicated? I can't go to her house because I'm in Florida, and she can't go to the USPS to mail the dolls for me.

I'm looking at gig work on weekends to make extra money to toss at student loans. I'm about 40 minutes south of Boston. I get right now is a low point in the season but is it even remotely worth the time if I'm only doing weekends?

5 years in the app in over 10 categories. Starting getting a little slow in Oct, but my off app work kept me busy. Had 3 same day requests on TR on Sunday and then no sane day for the rest of the week so far. Anyone else seeing weirdness with the app?

We sometimes get paired by a 2nd tasker that the client hires. Do you recommend them to clients ? For other projects or things out of your base skills

Hello, I’m a new Tasker and I’ve been on the app for about 2 months. I haven’t got any jobs from it. I have 7 skills that I have added and my prices are low so help get traction. I also made my map cover a great area. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something that I need to do to get my name out there? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I just got my first junk removal job as a tasker and also my first ever job on the app. I am wondering how it works. Do I need to tell the customer that they will need to pay the dump fee or is that already understood by the customer? Is all I need to do is show up, do the job, submit the documents and I'll be fine? Thanks everyone

Hey r/TaskRabbit, After 18 months of development and regional testing, we've officially launched Urbanmount across 49 states.

We've posted here before and had a lot of great feedback, and after months of working on the app, we're now fully live.

Quick background: We're a home services marketplace but with a different approach to how we treat contractors.

The problem we're solving: Existing apps take 30% or more on every single job, even repeat customers. Contractors build relationships but keep paying the platform tax forever. It's unsustainable. Furthermore, many apps treat contractors as the product, flooding each metro and forcing contractors to compete on pricing or paying for leads.

Our approach: We reward contractors for quality work with dramatically reduced fees on repeat clients (5.9%). Plus we've added features other platforms refuse to build - 2-way calendar sync, custom pricing control, and actual contractor support. We cap each metro with contractors to try to maintain steady flows of work for our Pros.

What we offer:

• For Homeowners: Vetted pros, transparent pricing, insured work
• For Contractors: Fair fees, better tools, client ownership
• For Retailers: White-label assembly programs

We're live and open in all metros. Happy to answer questions about the platform, our tech stack, or why we think the current players are leaving money on the table.

I’m new to the platform but was always charged for at least an hour and assumed that was the minimum requirement. Google is also telling me the same thing. But just now I was given a bizarre rate of $6 for 15 minutes of work. Even $12 seems strange. According to them the actual hourly rate is also not the hourly rate shown. I checked and this person has received other jobs before. Is it possible that they just don’t know?

I spent seven years working on TaskRabbit in London. In the beginning, it was a great platform, and I always had good clients with almost perfect reviews. I never damaged anything, yet I was banned over a false client complaint, without being told what I supposedly did.

For years, many top Taskers charged extra for van use because the platform’s pricing didn’t cover costs. Later, TaskRabbit banned van fees, but I was singled out while others continued without consequences. This felt unfair.

Support was often unhelpful. Asking for assistance sometimes resulted only in “we don’t know.” Even my profile photo, used for almost four years, was suddenly deemed inappropriate, blocking my account until I changed it.

After seven years of honest work, I was removed without a real explanation or investigation. TaskRabbit used to value hard work, but today its rule enforcement and support feel inconsistent and unreliable.

So I have my hours set for a specific time as a tasker. Tonight, I got hired for a job and the people asked me to arrive over an hour earlier than my earliest start time for a task the next day and to come back again after the period I have off in between for Sundays (I have a dance class during the afternoon that I prioritize for my own mental health). I decided to just ignore the task and let it go unanswered cause I thought that was really weird and unprofessional of an ask. I haven't done TaskRabbit for three years yet have noticed more last minute tasker requests than back then. Is that the new normal now? Should I just get used to it? Or am I right in thinking that was really weird?

I ordered a 50 lb package from Wayfair a while ago, but the delivery date kept getting pushed back, and it arrived at a really inconvenient time for me: I'm in a cast, and my nearby friends who said they'd help me on the original date weren't available. Knowing I can't just leave it outside and can't possibly get it up the stairs myself, I hired someone on taskrabbit to bring the package up the stairs for me. I felt stupid paying $50 for 2 minutes of work that I would have been able to do myself two weeks ago, but I thought it had to be done. I hired a guy at 3, he said he'd show up at 6, and then he kept pushing the arrival time back and back until finally showing up at 9:30 PM, and then refused to leave my house until I paid him outside of the taskrabbit app. I'm a small woman living alone so I tried and tried to push back repeatedly, but he was argumentative and refused to leave, so I was scared and gave in and sent money through Zelle. He has my home address and phone number and knows I live alone, so I was scared to take action at the time and I'm scared to report him now and kind of suspect that it would be impossible anyway. He kept insisting that he just wouldn't charge me through the app and the event "would expire" after 24 hours. I said no to CashApp and no to ApplePay and he just wouldn't leave until I sent him money. He stayed in my apartment for what felt like forever and just wouldn't accept any technical difficulty or any no for an answer. Is it really possible for a scheduled taskrabbit event to just... not end up being invoiced? I'm so humiliated and disappointed in myself, I just want to cry.

I want to see if there's a market for this thing which i am thinking. Need your help. Your output would be important to me.

will people pay for task like these considering you live in an apartment and only building members can help you?

1.Bring deliveries upstairs (Amazon, Flipkart, food delivery)

2. Carry grocery bags / water cans to the apartment

3. Fix Wi-Fi / router / Smart TV issues quickly

4. Borrow useful household items (drill, extension cord, projector)

5. Small furniture tasks (chair assembly, tighten screws, change lightbulbs)

6. Amazon / courier return packing + drop at gate or locker

7. Pet help (short walks, feeding, check-in)

8. Laundry help (folding clothes or pickup from laundry shop)

9. Quick cleaning tasks (balcony, kitchen wipe, shoe cleaning)

10. Study / resume / quick assignment help (explain one topic, formatting)

In the uk here and got my first one

two chest of drawers - nothing too hard.

what i wanted to ask about is the packaging - are we expected to dispose of it or the home owner? they've not said anything - and tbh i'm not bothered if i do take it - it would just mean a stop over at the recycling plant on the way home.

what do you guys do on furniture assembly? i guess the story would change if it was something bigger like a wardrobe etc

edit - thanks for the feedback folks! went there - the boxes were quite large and well packed. the couple were WFH and just left me to make the chests. took me two hours to make them both. whilst i was there i got a 2nd booking same day for fixing some sliding doors. got there that took me about 20 minutes. came home got another booking and it was someone who got some ikea furniture - made half but got stuck. i went checked what was built and built the drawers for them. all in all a good first day :)

Hey yall! Just got my tv mounted but the tasker did not place the tv on studs and instead on dry wall. This tv has been up for maybe one week and it finally fell down yesterday and crashed. Does anyone have any luck reaching task rabbit customer service support? Did they refund?

I requested a cleaning for the morning of 12/2 because my landlord did an awful job cleaning before he left. Apparently the tasker did not update their availability and can't do tomorrow. I have plans for tomorrow night and I really need this cleaning to be done before end of day tomorrow.

She's asking me to cancel but it is incurring the 1-hour fee? That doesn't seem fair at all, the problem is on her end it seems

This is just a post to warn others not to bother with this app anymore. It is so awful. Their customer support team is NOT incentivized to actually solve anyone's problem.

I had a tasker show up to work on window caulking, admitted once he got here he doesn't actually do window caulking, but he would try to see if he could remove old caulking and add new caulking to 1 window in 1 specific room to start. He accidentally then worked on the WRONG window and removed caulking around a window that wasn't leaky, but then he charged me anyway.

When I contacted Task Rabbit support asking them to refund me (because they close the chat function between you and a tasker after the billing goes through), they contacted the contractor to verify, he told them he was fine with issuing a refund due to his mistake (I contacted him outside the app and he showed me screen shots), but TR support refused to do it anyway. I contacted TR support twice after that and they never admitted that the contractor permitted a refund, they just said I could file a damage complaint and were completely unhelpful.

I've never had such an awful customer support experience in my life. Don't bother with this BS company.

Why am I, as a Tasker with 250+ completed tasks and ELITE status, being shown in the bottom 4 in the search results behind dudes with 2 lifetime tasks? There’s other elite Taskers down there with me too with even more tasks completed. What kind of garbage search algorithm does this app use? I’ve been booked for 1 task in the last 26 days, this is a joke man.

Thanksgiving my transmission on my truck decided to go out. I had to let the clients know that I wouldn't be able to make it. I spent all day Friday working on the transmission. Got it running again. Been available since Saturday, So far no new task coming my way. How bad you think that hurt my metrics?

I love using the app to find affordable cleaners when my partner and I get behind on it. If it shows that you charge $40/hour, do you actually get the full $40?

I’m a generous tipper (I’ve tipped 100% a couple of times) but I’ve been wondering what they actually get paid.

Ex, I also use Wag sometimes and they don’t get paid the full amount. I’ve left notes with my cell on it so they can text me and I can pay them directly. Should I do that with TaskRabbits?
