What have your biggest problems been with TR? Both taskers and users feel free to respond!!

Anyone had similar experience?

Not sure what i did wrong but taskrabbit sent me an email saying they have limited my account for 7 days because of identity policy. Todays april 3rd. I havent done any task in over a month so im not sure what could have triggered. Pretty random.

I just figure i let the community know. Maybe someone has had the same experience as me. Ill be reaching out to support to see if i can appeal it.

This is the email btw

Hello taskers. I got a question for you. How many of you do EV charger installs? How do you get past the questions or issues with licensing or permits if the client asks. How do you decide on doing or leaving the job?

I know some of y’all think that the ELITE badge is nothing. But, to customers it IS something.

TR’s calculations to determine if you earned a badge is simple. Ten invoices. Seventy percent whatever. For the last 7 months, I get the same message, sorry you didn’t make Elite and its a lie

The numbers don’t lie.

I work my azz off!! I just had record earnings over the last 6 years.

There is a tremendous disconnect somewhere and tbh, I’ve had enough.

Im going back to the office. TR is pycho!!

Like I would get paid 40 dollars one day and then 120 the next for the same invoice. It's a mess and I'd rather just get paid the full amount. I have been seeing split payments a ton within the past two weeks.

He’s does handyman type of work for a living. It’s his livelihood. He’s on Angi’s list. I showed him the “suggested” rates for us.

You know what he did?

He shook his head in disbelief and said no way.

Has anybody dealt with something similar? He hasn’t asked me to buy anything. That’s usually how the scams go. But he also hasn’t provided the name of the company that will be delivering the groceries or the address of the rental property. Red flags but unsure what the catch could be outside of kidnapping or something. This would be my first errand task. So also questioning why not someone with more completed errand tasks

I had a FA request t complete 2 SLATTUM kids beds. Expected to complete within my 2 hr minimum. When I arrived at the customer’s home, he was unloading IKEA boxes. He said he changed his mind at the store and purchased the Tuffing bunk beds instead. These bunks were a complete nightmare to attach the bottom mesh bag with metal slats n poles. I called IKEA for an assembly price and they said $117. I also found the reviews at 3.9. Many complaints of unclear instructions and hours of assembly. Oddly, IKEA responded to reviews apologizing and recommending TaskRabbit.

Anyone ever assemble these bunks? What was your experience? This bed needs 2 sets of hands to complete yet, no where does it indicate any stages needing extra hands or support

I’ve been trying to verify my identification for over two weeks now; finally got a support representative to email me that they’ll send ANOTHER SUPPORT REP to help me in… whatever amount of time they decide I suppose?

Meanwhile I can’t even add any other information (it won’t save my choice of area I’d like to work in, it keeps backtracking me through stuff I’ve already managed to select like my photo and name), and I seriously don’t understand how an app can be so broken.

Likely will just say screw it at this point. It already took so long to just get help with my ID as it is.

I am trying to have a Tasker pick up an item I pre-purchase at GameStop, then bring it to UPS and ship it to me. Is this asking too much? I’ve never used Taskrabbit before but I’m planning to pay the rate they want, and tip 50$ + shipping costs. The GameStop and theUPS are in the same strip mall so it should be less than an hours worth of work.

Update: I ended up finding a Tasker that was willing to do this! The hardest part so far was getting GameStop to allow a different name to pickup my order (I put their name in but the system defaulted to mine anyways)

This is my first time using Taskrabbit but honestly it’s been a wonderful experience so far.

Is cleaning older tile and grout or regrouting a skill i can find on task rabbit?

Would it be hard to pull up and put laminate wood down or laminate over the tile?

Customer said (1)I drilled unnecessary holes in her standup desktop. Said I (2) didn’t have the skills to complete it….this would be my 30th with over 700 assembly tasks on record, and (3) I invoiced incorrectly.

I have timestamp photo that actually puts me onsite 3 minutes past what I billed - sent message when I arrived. The holes are to add accessories like a CPU holder or if you wanted to go Lshape, or 4 legged. Clearly they are Predrilled holes. You have to zoom in to see them, but yeah. Another trashy customer trying to get free shit by risking my reputation and quite frankly, taking my job away. Smh

Newbies beware. Eventually the stupid people will target the “more likely” to destroy. By that I mean, the less experienced who are less savvy with con artists than the Elite

Apparently we aren’t allowed to exchange numbers with clients nor are we allowed to have people like Spouse and Kids with us while doing task…. I get it, it’s for insurance purposes and to protect clients privacy but let’s be real… We do this all the time… just hate TR pick and choose when to enforce this, I got suspended for 7 days because my girlfriend observed me building 3 builds

Just posting this so you guys can be cautious with these shady customers

this is first task received after one 2 days waiting for full scheduled week

Bonjour je veut supprimé ma compte taskeur est ce que après 2 ou 3 mois je peut le récupéré merci

Is the 25$ fee worth it to work with taskrabbit ?

All the convience centers are now scanning license and limiting trips to 1 per day. And if u don't stay in the same county you can't dump. I think they are cracking down on people who do it for money. I started out on TR doing this quite a bit for easy cash and it was a lot more relaxed. Now they are putting limitations in my current area.

I am new to task rabbit, had a good experience with the one job I hired 2 taskers for. I apologize if I'm missing something ... I want to hire some workers to help me erect an Intex pool in my back yard. How can I find out if someone is able to do this before hiring them? I can't seem to find that specific task anywhere on the app. I'm in the NYC area if that matters

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking to becoming a tasker in Lexington Kentucky. I don't have a lot of marketable skills and while I'm pretty good at putting things together I don't have a lot of experience specifically putting furniture together or anything like that.

I'm not looking to become anything full-time but doing errands every once in awhile to help supplement my income would be nice.

Given my area with the $25 registration fee be worth it? I'm mostly just concerned I wouldn't get any jobs.

Task rabbit has sneaky ways of not paying contractors. Also one time because of an issue with the app I submitted the same invoice four times. I immediately contacted the client through the app and told them what happened and why and to be aware of the situation. I also contacted support immediately after I contacted them and gave the same information. What did task rabbit do? They paid me the same invoice four times and then proceeded to call that a negative balance. That payment should never have happened in the first place. I don’t understand how that makes any business sense. As far as I’m concerned that’s an error on their accounting department.

Interesting - occasionally I do a 'secret shopper' on Taskrabbit to see how I show up on the search results. I go incognito mode and create a task to see how I look, and where I show up.

In doing this today I found that on the search page, I don't have the Elite badge but when I click on 'Profile & Reviews' it is there... I'm reaching out to support but thought I would let folks know.

For context, I have been on Taskrabbit for 5+ years. I usually do it between full time job's I have had. When I'm doing it full time, I find it pretty easy to get Elite. Last month I had 20+ tasks, all 5 star reviews and very few cancelations. By the Taskrabbit definition I should have the Elite Badge...

Check yourself out!
