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.
never again taskrabbit
GBTaskrabbit does not want to assist… Taskrabbit does not want to assist clients. It makes it difficult if not impossible to file complaints. It offers up taskers who are not available and taskers who advertise their services falsely. Adding additional rate and costs once the process is done. It does not monitor taskers behavior. taskrabbit deflects all difficulties onto contractor and takes no responsibility for their own failures and actions. Avoid taskrabbit at any cost
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!

GBWe loved Walter! We loved Walter! He gave us recommendations on supplies we needed, he was very communicative and knowledgeable. He did a great job giving us a new outlet so that we didn’t have wires showing from our tv wall mount.

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.
