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?
