1. Flat-rate IKEA Assembly tasks
- What this means: Clients at IKEA stores, on the IKEA website, and on taskrabbit.com/ikea can now book flat-rate assembly tasks—something we anticipate will result in steadier and more rewarding work volume for you. Here’s what you need to know:
- All IKEA items to be assembled as part of the task are listed in the task description so you’ll know exactly how much you’re earning in advance.
- Flat rates are based on each item and complexity of assembly, and you’ll be paid for every item you assemble. Check out some examples of flat rates here!
- Your past ratings, reviews, and task history will remain on your profile as always, influencing how you’re matched with clients.
- You’ll receive task invitations based on your task history and availability.
- Clients can still show their appreciation by tipping you, but any additional expenses incurred (such as hardware, parking fees, and tolls) are not permitted. Learn more here.
- Why we did it: We’ve successfully implemented this same model in Canada and Europe and have seen a substantial increase in client demand and fewer cancellations, and we’re excited to bring it to the US so we can continue improving the Taskrabbit experience for everyone.
