TASKER Scheduling error...?

Scheduling error..?

Hey guys, there's this task I don't want to do for tomorrow at 10:30am. I asked the client to cancel for metrics but they of course have not responded

I want to wait it out and see if they cancel on their own before the task

I'm just curious because Taskrabbit says "schedule before 11:59pm tomorrow" but the task is literally for 10am tomorrow.

Basically, what will happen if I let the time pass for the scheduled task? Will it hurt me as long as I forfeit before midnight, even though the task is scheduled for that morning???

I just really want the client to cancel themselves 😭 but they just aren't doing anything lmao

TASKER New to Taskrabbit

Hey guys I’ve been doing furniture assembly for the last 8 days and have finished 7 jobs, 5 5-stars, and honestly just have everyday of the week open. I got kicked out a few weeks ago and turned to task rabbit because I love assembling stuff. I originally made my hourly at 24$/hour which was a lot lower than most taskers, so people would funnel to the cheaper guy being me.

Today I was gonna bump it up a buck or two, and noticed that task rabbit told me it’d increase my hiring chances if I bump it to 32$/hour. It seems counterintuitive to me, so I was just curious if you guys had any experience, good or bad, with a similar situation.

I think I’m pretty on top of everything timing wise and professionalism but my one concern is that by increasing my rate, people will expect a lot more of me that I may not be comfortable doing. I have a decent drill m12 or something it’s Milwaukee and it was like 100$. I don’t even think it advertises as a drill but I just wanted something weak to speed up certain parts of furniture assembly. I’m sure it’s powerful enough to mount said furniture to the wall but I don’t like advertising that I have a drill because I’m not comfortable mounting tvs /mounting much of anything right now because I need to do some more research on actually mounting safely and I saw it was good to have insurance before drilling into clients walls for liability reasons.

Any tips on covering my butt on this

or setting the tone early that I do have a weak drill but am not comfortable mounting

or if for furniture assembly, I’m required to mount the furniture if it says and I will get in trouble if I don’t.

Idk if that makes sense, I’m sure it’d just be easier and more profitable to add mounting to my skills, but like I said early on furniture assembly is cathartic and primarily stress free for me. Mounting makes me feel the opposite

Thank you guys in advance!

GENERAL $10 code - If a customer wants to rebook you soon, is it better to close out the first task so that they can use the code when they rebook you?

I don’t know how the codes work on the user end, but I see that there’s a $10 code off the next booking that’s in the pre-populated closing message. In the event a client wants to rebook you soon (next day) is it better to close out the first task so that they can use the code on the next? Or is it only one use per account? So if they already used the code with another Tasker, that can’t use it again?
