GBVery good but expensive The app was ok to use. It did take me a few minutes to figure out the choices to pick in order to find who I needed. Then I realized that the more the person charges, the better the rating. You have a sliding scale that usually results with expense & experience at one end and less expensive & less experience at the other. Being that I had a bad experience using Angie, another service, I chose the most expensive person with the most experience. I made the right decision. The person I chose was excellent. He assembled my piece with speed and accuracy. In total, it was a good experience. However, be aware that some people have 2 hour minimum times and that Task Rabbit charges an additional $19 per hour above what the person charges. That is why I subtracted one star. I think the $19 should be a one time charge, not hourly.

GBThe tasker was great and super easy to… The tasker was great and super easy to find/navigate the website. one thing I don't like is the high fees you don't see until after the services. Tasker cost you see upfront but then nearly $25 added in fees

GBFees are too expensive. I appreciate that the service links me up with people that can help me do a task. But there is a default two hour minimum for most taskers which is annoying. Because sometimes I only need their services for a short duration. And that crap "trust and support" fee was 30% of the service.

GBMoving out I was moving out of a third floor apartment, and didn't know how I was going to manage getting all of my furniture out! I used TaskRabbit for the first time, and had a wonderful experience with Cezzane. Cezzane was able to get the job done very quickly, and worked alongside my dad.
should I try TR again?
GBTR company - fix this preapproval problem The tasker, Kevin B, was excellent all around. TR - the company - should inform the customer that they will put a temporary charge on your credit card as soon as you confirm the tasker. I was not informed. When i asked their online rep, I was told it's their policy to get 1 hour preapproved. Ok, then tell us. Also, the amount they prepapproved was 2 hours(approx), so their rep was not correct. Recommendation to TR: be honest with your customer and disclose upfront..no surprises!
