TaskRabbit bills by the hour. A simple IKEA wardrobe assembly at $65/hr that takes 2.5 hours = $162.50. Bulky shows you a fixed price — $99 for that same PAX wardrobe — before you confirm. What you see is what you pay.
TaskRabbit does not offer delivery. Bulky picks up from any store — IKEA, Wayfair, Home Depot, Amazon — and assembles everything in one visit. No coordinating two separate services.
Bulky Techs are dispatched within 1–2 hours in most markets. Popular TaskRabbit Taskers book out days or weeks in advance. When you need it done today, Bulky is the better option.
Assembly, leveling, positioning, packaging removal, and a completion photo — all included in Bulky's fixed price. On TaskRabbit, every minute of cleanup and re-positioning runs on the clock.
Pickup from any store, warehouse, or private seller. Drop-off to any room, floor, or address.
