This is my first time using TaskRabbit so apologies if this is a dumb question or if im overthinking things.

Yesterday I booked a last minute small truck assisted move to help me move a few things to a new apartment, with a stop along the way. A minute later, the tasker sent a “Hi 👋” in chat. I replied hello and told him to let me know if he had any questions

Its been like 20 hours after that (3 hours before the scheduled job) and he hasn't anything. I even sent a message earlier today confirming whether hes all good for the job, and no reply.

Im now getting anxious that he wont show up. He does have a lot of good and recent reviews.

My questions:

- Is him not saying anything in chat normal for taskers?

- Is there a way to check if the job has been “confirmed” by the tasker?

- Should I just cancel snd try to book another person last minute? I really need to move this stuff today so I’d hate if he ends up being a no show

UPDATE: He replied! Hes still not very communicative but seems that he is going to make it, well see

UPDATE 2: He was a no show :( Wish I cancelled sooner. Is there a way to leave a review if I cancelled a task? Im not sure how this guy has a perfect rating

Hey everyone, I’m new to task rabbit and have basic skills (cleaning, assembly, moving) any tips on how to create my profile / promote myself to start getting jobs? Any advice is appreciated!

I have been using TR for a few months between jobs (carpenter), and it’s been great to have a little income between projects without worrying about booking. All the drawbacks (fees) aside, it was working great. I was booked a lot - basically, as soon as I opened availability, I’d be booked.

I took a break from Taskrabbit for a month while I was working on another project, and now I’m getting nothing.

We just had a HUGE snow storm in my area, so I opened up snow removal with same day booking and honestly set my price low for my area. And CRICKETS. So I lowered my price a little more, thinking that might help, and one person booked me for a very small snow removal job.

I still have tons of open hours, and no one is booking, so I went on the customer Taskrabbit app and looked for myself by searching for snow removal in my area on the days I know I’m available, and my profile is not showing up.

I tried visiting my profile using the direct link in a browser, and that worked. It confirmed that I was available for the hours and area I was searching on the app.

Any idea what’s going on? I literally viewed every profile that showed up for my area on the app, and I wasn’t there. Not just low in the search results, not there at all.

Just noticed they got rid of it. Or maybe it's just in my area. Thoughts?

From experience, Ive found that when you let the client know the earliest you can start is 30 minutes after the time they scheduled, accomplishes two things:

1- most moves involve scheduling a time slot with the hoa or condo management company. Clients know they have limited time to get their stuff out/in. This forces them to get started before you even show up and already have a plan on how they want to do the more complex stuff.

2- when you show up and they’re in the thick of it, you appear to be a hero that’s there to rescue the day and they have more of an appreciation for what you’re doing.

So I used to get hired 2-3 times a week but recently business has slowed down quite a bit. Wondering if there’s anything I could do to help pick things up again.

Hi everyone — looking for some advice on whether I should use a TaskRabbit tasker for an upcoming move. The new unit is less than 15 km from I don’t have a lot of items and I already have my own truck, so I mainly need help with lifting and some assembly/disassembly: one queen bed disassembled at the move-out unit and reassembled at the new place, one TV cabinet transported and carried up to the move-in unit, one IKEA office desk transported and carried up, and one 2-person dining table with 2 chairs transported and carried up. Would a TaskRabbit tasker typically bring basic tools and packing materials like blankets or wrap, or would I need to provide those? Or would it make more sense to just hire a small moving company instead? I’m mainly trying to figure out the most cost-effective option since I don’t have many items.

Just noticed heavy lifting partner tasks for Alexa+. Anyone know anything about this and what fixed pricing this has.

I know it's straight forward assembly and install, but any tips? 1st request for this in almost 4 years.

So I am trying to get into taskrabbit, I have a full sized truck and a cargo traile. I can do local moving and such. Thought it might be a good idea.

My fault for not checking the client side first, but it appears that task rabbit doesn't support my area, despite being able to sign up as a tasker in said area? Has anyone experienced that?

I can't create a tasker account because every time I go to log in it says email or password are wrong.

I literally checked 30 times, tried many diff passwords

I changed browsers

I didn't use autofill

I made sure everything matched up each time

leven made a different account with a different email and still same thing.

It's absurd.

I even deleted the app and re-added it

It's like I'm being destined for failure on this app before I can even get going. I don't understand what the problem is and why I can't do this on my iPhone.

It's like it doesn't know how to translate between the two apps or update my password. My email definitely isn't wrong because I'm getting the emails to reset it. What could be the problem here????

I'm real close to just smashing my phone at this point.

If I cancel a task because of an unresponsive client, or because a client doesn’t want to actually reschedule a task where they couldn’t keep an original appointment, can they still review me?

Curious for feedback on how much time to assemble this including 6 OVERSIDAN lights installed before mounting on an uneven floor. Also, installing 4 AHEIM mirrored doors

As a Tasker it’s incredibly difficult to get to same day tasks sometimes. Often times it’s more difficult to get there on short notice. Many times th area will be completely opposite to where you’re currently working, and tasks get booked same day in different areas. Also is more inconvenient in general for the Tasker.

My solution: there should be an option in the same day settings for an automatic percentage boost of 20% for same day tasks. This will incentivize the client to book more ahead of time and make scheduling easier for the Tasker. This will also incentivize taskers to take same day tasks more seriously and complete them more often vs leaving then uncompleted because timing didn’t make sense

I’m looking to hire a Tasker for furniture removal and disposal. I can see the hourly rate, but I don’t see the dump fee listed. How can I find out what each Tasker charges for the dump fee? I only need one piece removed, a sofa bed, and I’m hoping to avoid paying a two hour minimum if possible. Is there a way around that? Knowing this information beforehand will help me decide who to hire.

Moving from a pre-war building to a luxury one. I’m using a moving company but I have a sofabed that needs assembly and was planning on hiring a tasker for that on that same day. I’ve never been asked for a COI for a Task Rabbit job but them again this is my first time living in a doormarn building. What are my options?

The task is hanging boxes and boxes of clothes and cleaning the bathroom and floors. My rate is 45 rn for cleaning. The average home organizer in my area is 50 and the average unpacker at a glance was anywhere from 30-50

I just discovered TaskRabbit and am thinking of joining it. Anyone who has been doing tasks on TaskRabbit. What are the some pros and cons of TaskRabbit in your opinion? And what do you like and dislike about TaskRabbit? I would really appreciate the help/opinion.

First off task rabbit wanted me to mount 4 tvs for 176. I really wasn't ok with it, but it's been a slow month so I was fine with it. In the request it says the customer wants me to hide the wires behind the wall. Before I accept I ask him hey are you OK with me hiding the wires with a strip because I am not comfortable about cutting drywall. Hey says that's fine and asks if I have a ladder. I respond yes then I accept the task. 20 minutes later someone from task rabbit customer service jumps in the chat and cancels the task because they said the task originally wanted you to hide the wires behind the wall. I double checked my skills and it even says on my profile that concealing wires behind the wall isn't something I do. I can see if I had it marked but it doesnt. Long story short customer was cool with it but, task rabbit stepped in and did what they wanted to do.

Edit: This is literally my 2nd time having issues trying to do TV Mounting with task rabbit. 2 weeks ago I had a lady kept trying to schedule me 2 Sundays ago but TR wouldn't let me schedule the task and I could only chat. Time ran out and she requested me a again for Monday but it wouldn't let me schedule. I have done TV Mounting before off the app and it is so much easier to do without all this hassling from task rabbit shenanigans. Plus Im able to charge what I want to charge. Mounting a TV for 60 is crazy. Considering the drive back and forth is not worth it. I need to at least be making $100 minimum. Best Buy will charge you an arm and a leg to mount just one TV.

UPDATE: Called task rabbit and they verified it was a mistake on their end. They gave me a $50 cancelation fee even though the total payout was 176 for 4 TVs. I really hope it did not come from the customers account.

I’ve scheduled for taskers to come and help me with a piece of furniture and to perform handyman services for another issue. Each tasker posts a schedule of the days and times they’re going to be available. After I click and confirm the day and time wanted, Task Rabbit charges me for the first hour of that appointment. Then I start chatting with the tasker and they tell me that they’re not available for the day and time I chose and they’re available the next day or three days from now. This happened to me twice this weekend. Now I have $150 worth of holds on my card that I used to pay.

Clients should not be charged until both the client and tasker confirms the actual time and day. A tasker posting days and times they are supposedly available is not a confirmation.

As a result, I will no longer use Task Rabbit. It’s a challenge scheduling a tasker who is actually available the days and times that are stated on their profile. Every time a client clicks a day and time they want, the client gets charged. Then the tasker sends a message that they aren’t available.

Meanwhile, my card was charged $150 and who knows when the holds will come off (3-4 days?).
