Have any of you used task rabbit to help move apartments? Moving locally within LA, and I've got furniture for a 1 bedroom apartment that I need moved to another. I saw that taskrabbit have taskers with trucks/vans that do this sort of service but have never used it before. Curious if anyone has had experience with it.

I’ve used them to unload a truck but never a full service move. Generally I’ve been pleased with who I’ve found via TaskRabbit but it’s an overall small sample set and I could be lucky.
anybody else use them before?
I also used them to unload a truck (technically a PODS pod, but effectively the same thing) in LA, it was basically just hiring labor to pick stuff up and drop it off in my apartment, and totally worth it. When you select to hire someone you enter into a conversation with them and they'll ask questions or whatever. The dude I got was on time, plowed through it (we were done in 30 mins) and it was altogether a great experience. I can't imagine a full move would be any different, just make sure you pack everything carefully and with bubble wrap if it's fragile, while they're movers they aren't a legit moving company and could be rougher with your stuff.
Thanks. That's good to hear it was a pretty positive experience overall. Really just need an extra set of hands to help me move stuff in.
That's probably the best use for Taskrabbit. I'm sure there are some qualified people, but when you're just contracting out to random individuals I'd just see it as dumb labor.
How much can you save using task rabbit for movers? Most moving companies charge $35-40 for man hour. But they may have a minimum.
It seems like I'm not saving with task rabbit since most are charging a rate that starts at $40 per hour already, and nearly all of them are asking for a two hour minimum. I found a guy who will charge me $90 per hour and already has a van, so i'm thinking it's good enough without having to worry about the separate reservation, fees and insurance that come with having to rent a truck/van.
Definitely worth it. Picking up and dropping off a Uhaul by itself is a PITA.
