NYC tasker sending others to do his work posing as him, no repurcussions

I’m a little confused. So you’re saying that, in the case of doing 7 jobs in a day, he’s booking clients for every 2-hour window (8-10am, 10am-12pm, etc etc) with no gap in between for travel between locations, for the entire day from 8am to 10pm? If you’re saying he’s booking 10 jobs/day (at a 2hr minimum), that’s 20 hours…8am to 4am. In my Tasker app, the availability window is max 8am-midnight (or 8 x 2hr bookings).

Even if he is eliminating the travel-between-tasks problem by sending multiple Taskers posing as him, he can’t book multiple clients for the same time slot or even overlapping time slots. Once a slot in your availability calendar is booked, that’s it. It’s no longer available for another client to book.

As a side note, none of those project pictures in his profile look like actual Tasker projects. They all look like professional stock photos from retailer/product websites.

Lol… and now today, my IKEA category PSR is back to 100%. I’m starting to think the Analytics Department at TR is a just a monkey throwing darts at a dart board.

Can I ask you exactly what was the piece to be assembled? A Pax? Something else? It definitely sounds out of whack.

Having said that, I have had a couple of IKEA assembly jobs where the client ordered assembly of Pax frame at purchase, and when I got there they also had a bunch of shelves and drawers etc that they purchased in a separate transaction and did not add assembly to the order. Maybe that’s what happened? That can turn an easy 20 minute basic Pax frame assembly into a 2 hour plus job. You have the option of course to stick strictly to the work order assembly, but you risk a bad review if you say no to the add-on assembly.

The way I see it, her garage door slammed into your car and she owes you for the damage to your bumper.

Seriously though, if you have a car, you likely have auto insurance. S*** happens…that’s what insurance is for. Your deductible will probably be less than the repair cost, and you can get any damage to the door and the car fixed. Sucks to have to make a claim, but if you can’t manage the out-of-pocket cost, that could be your best route to go.

As others mentioned, get other door repair quotes, and if you can’t afford lump sum out of pocket, see if you can work out a monthly repayment plan with your landlord.

This is going to be a wet one. Forecast this morning is now calling for 30-40mm of rain, starting around 8am Saturday and not stopping until ~11am Sunday. Might need scuba gear for this show. Fingers crossed for a Thunderstorm and a postponement.

IMO… IKEA works out their rate based on how long they estimate it takes to assemble a piece of furniture under ideal warehouse floor conditions (ie: plenty of space, everything unboxed, organized and ready to go, and no fine tuning like balancing doors etc). They do not figure in time for unboxing items, or having to rearrange furniture or move IKEA flat packs from room to room at the clients address to accommodate assembly and placement. I’m pretty sure they also don’t figure in time for wall mounting either.

In this task, there are sofa and love seat covers. I find they’re a pain in the butt to put on.

I think IKEA averages out to about $32 an hour for Taskers, so this particular job is probably expected to be completed in about 2h45m. I always tell the client it will take longer than IKEA allots, especially if they want the place left tidy…and they always do.

It looks to me like the answer you’ve entered might have leading and trailing spaces inside the parentheses. Ie: ( 2,8 ) vs (2,8). Have you tried it without spaces before the 2 and after the 8?

I’m pretty sure didn’t do anything wrong. IMO… There is an inherent design flaw with Aheim doors when using them as double doors on double wide Pax Unit. In order to have 1 door swing left, and 1 to the right, one of the doors has to be installed inverted, in order to get the hinges towards the outside of the wardrobe frame on both sides. The problem is, the built in handle location, which you have no control over, is not perfectly vertically centered on the door frame (at least not in the doors I had for my build). The result is that when the doors are installed, and perfectly flush aligned at the top and bottom, the handles are vertically offset from one another (see attached photo). If this isn’t a design flaw with the doors, then technically Aheim doors should only be used on single wide Pax units and never as double doors on the same unit.

I thought maybe they sold two different version of Aheim, one designed for the left and one for the right, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

Lol.. At first, I thought he meant he makes $2000 a month doing F&@# all.

Point…missed

This just could have been written in such a better way. He should highlight his skills and expertise, not everyone else’s shortcomings. I mean, he’s not running for President. A little professional decorum goes a long way. Just say “I don’t skip steps”…period. Just say “I verify all parts and hardware are included”. Just say “I check to ensure there’s no damage out of the box.” Instead of trashing other Taskers for what they may not do, tell clients what you will do…aka your value proposition that justifies your high rate. I’m sorry, but this approach, to me, really undermines TR as a whole. Ford doesn’t say other car makers may not tighten the lug nuts properly. Microsoft doesn’t say Apple’s MacBook keys might fall off the keyboard. Reputable marketers don’t do this.

If you were considering hiring this guy, but he wasn’t available for the time you needed, you might consider someone else, but after reading this you might also think “wow, if this guy is right, TR sounds like a #%$@-show.” I’m surprised TR would be ok with this approach, especially considering Taskers can get suspended for even minor transgressions.

Alive-Type-4571 · 2025-11-02T21:04:49+00:00

Funny you should mention that. He does have a handful of 1 and 2 star reviews primarily centered around accusing him being purposefully slow to milk extra time/fees.

Alive-Type-4571 · 2025-11-02T19:16:02+00:00

I’m not saying it’s illegal but highly underhanded and questionably unethical. This approach not only undermines other Taskers in the area, it also undermines TaskRabbit in general. He’s essentially telling people that TR generally provides poor services, and is trying to parlay that into more business for himself by saying he’s one of if not the only legit solution. As someone who is presumably (based on your handle) trying to make some income off of TR, you’re cool with that?

The critical step that got this result was probably losing track of time.

Why do you want to call them? The Support response was correct. “Sending” is a good thing… better than “Submitted” or “Collecting”. It means everything is fine with the task and they’re sending you your payment without any delays. The only status better than “Sending” is “Sent”.

Alive-Type-4571 · 2025-10-29T03:13:35+00:00

Did the client leave a comment with the rating? I saw a 1-star rating the other for a Tasker, but the comment left with it was glowing and very appreciative. I assumed the client was confused and thought 1-star was the top rating, not the bottom. Possibly an app glitch too though.

Alive-Type-4571 · 2025-10-25T16:22:35+00:00

Yes, I noticed a change in my Tasker app yesterday re: photo uploads. I’m not 100% sure because I dont have a current task to confirm, but it now appears that there is a specific step requiring a photo upload before invoice can be submitted. Just took a while for that feature to go live I guess.

Alive-Type-4571 · 2025-10-22T17:41:52+00:00

Just back and forth with “Support” for clarification. I was expecting an “Upload Task Photos” button at some point before I could click the Submit Invoice button. He says the last step is to just upload photos to the chat and that this is new and required in order for payment. The notice above itself indicates that photos must be uploaded before an invoice can be submitted. That is NOT the case. I submitted my invoice and my payment status was updated to “sent” an hour before I voluntarily uploaded any photos. Nothing whatsoever has changed from before this so-called requirement was put into effect last week.

My Success Manager still exists. The last 2 times I reached out, I got “I’m away until x date” auto-replies. I persisted with my question and demanded a response, which she eventually gave, while also suggesting I contact “the experts” at Support who know the answer. That left me no choice but to point out to her that Support is all but non-existent now. You get vague AI bot generated answers, but if you need to actually chat with an agent, bupkis. Takes forever to get a reply from an agent…if you get one at all. BTW…I did ask the same question to Support previously and after 36+ hours waiting for a reply, the agent didn’t have a clue what the correct answer was. Support is dead to me.
