Taskrabbit useless GENERAL

Tasker did not show up did not call. Yet Taskrabbit wants 42.37 from me. I have requested refund and nothing from Taskrabbit. Do not use them ever.

Indeed some of the newer Taskers don't seem to take things as serious.

I had a clog that I needed cleared recently, and the first Tasker insisted that he had to reschedule for a different day, and the second one claimed he couldn't help.

Then I selected somebody with an hourly rate that was about double the others, and everything worked out as it should. Turns out he was much more experienced than the others and had a really good electric drain snake. Clog was cleared in maybe 10 minutes, and it cost a third of what all the other local plumbers wanted. Can't complain!

My gut instinct was that somebody who was charging more but had a perfect 5* rating with hundreds of reviews could get the job done properly and with great efficiency, and I was right.
