TaskRabbit charges by the hour — a simple IKEA bed frame can run 1.5–3 hours depending on the Tasker. Bulky shows you the final price before you book. No surprises, no "it took longer than expected."
TaskRabbit does assembly only — you still need to arrange delivery separately. Bulky does both on the same booking: your item is picked up from the store and assembled at your home in one visit.
Bulky's dispatch is designed for same-day speed. TaskRabbit's availability depends on Tasker schedules — popular Taskers book out days in advance.
Bulky Techs remove and dispose of all packaging as part of the service — no extra hourly billing. With TaskRabbit, every extra minute of cleanup runs on the clock.
Pickup from any store, warehouse, or private seller. Drop-off to any room, floor, or address.
