I tried using task rabbit one time. I will never use this app again.
I made an arrangement with someone to move just a few items. The work would take less than an hour but I still hired him for two hours.
I flew into Sacramento from out of state. I spoke with the person that day a couple times. He said he would see me in the morning at 10am, the appointed time.
At 9am, an hour before the task, he cancels on me.
Task rabbit gave suggestions for other people that were supposed to all be available immediately. First of all, they were all at least twice the amount of the person I had originally hired. I saw some people over $100/hr. But second, NONE of them would be available for a couple days. Therefore, I was not able to hire anyone to help me with my task.
As it turned out, there was someone at the storage facility moving stuff with his girlfriend. I offered him some money and he was awesome and helped me move more than I had needed.
I can't help but think that Task Rabbit can have scam capabilities - canceling at the last minute and then offering you people that cost twice as much. However, none were available to be hired.
There is also not an option for you to complain on the app about such things.
I think it is a bad idea to plan a move or task with task rabbit. The person can bail on you at the last minute and you're completely out of luck if that is what you're depending on.
This app is atrocious.
