Need 2 strong guys for 1/2 hr of work Downtown, any leads for me?

Submitted by Blecher_onthe_Hudson t3_yciusi in jerseycity

I've got to get a 135 lb appliance to the 4th fl and the old one down. I have the webbing "shoulder dolly" that pro appliance movers use. Willing to pay well, but I just don't have any contacts and the last time I got some guys from St Lucys one was very sketchy.

EDIT: Job done, guys were happy with the pay, I was happy with their hard work. Capitalism.

U-Haul's website has a feature where you can search for "labor only" movers. I've had good experience with Honeymovers in the past.

No need for phone calls -- just share what kind of appliance you want moved. Should have been included in your original post.

I said the weight and it was an appliance, what difference does type make? I default to privacy, even about stupid stuff. No matter what it is, someone will second guess you about what you're doing.

Most of the taskrabbit 'movers' are looking to be paid for their vehicles as well as labor. There doesn't seem to be a good way to just get labor. But I have a PM from someone who looks like it'll work out for this evening.

That's not been my experience. I've literally only used taskrabbit to move things up and down stairs because it was too heavy to do solo.

Ok, maybe I'm doing it wrong. How do you make your inquiry and what did it cost you? FWIW, I just got it done. I paid them more than they asked.

Next time use Craigslist. I hired a dude for $15 to help me lift my tv onto my mantle. Literally 15 seconds of work and then he long boarded into the sunset. I tossed him a pre-roll because he was a chill dude.

This is after I moved about a month ago, sorry.

Not sure what I did different but just searching for individuals to move things has been pretty straight forward.

None of you have friends or neighbours who can help with this kind of thing?

As others have mentioned. This is what the app taskrabit was made for.
