![]() Like being paid 1/3 of the fee Handy bills the customer, while doing ALL the physical work? Want to be "fined" $50 if you cancel a job, but paid $15 if the customer does? Want to spend an hour unpacking a pressboard Wayfair furniture kit with 60 unlabeled/un numbered parts? That you then need to assemble with poor/illegible/inaccurate instructions? In the time allowed by Handy? (Which is typically 50% of the time you NEED?)Įnjoy working with some of the cheapest, poorly manufactured "furniture" out there? Stuff that falls apart and rips fittings out while being "built"? Many times I have been booked for jobs 40, 60, even 96 miles from my house. The other major issue is the size of the service area. Apparently in a metropolitan area of 2.5 million people, no one has posted a job in the last 24 hours. I have probably complained about this too much. I know for a fact that on three of the jobs, Handy sent the customer telling them a "scheduling conflict has occurred" and tells the customer what time the handy man will come. If I do bring this to Handy's attention, then several of my upcoming jobs suddenly "the customer has edited the job and you were removed". The email on the customer's side is extremely difficult for customers to find, even if they are given that ability. Many times, all the app will let the customer do is to "rate" me. The "chat" window on the customer side of the app does not open. ![]() Įveryone one of the numerous times I have tried to get the customer to change the "required time" the app does not function. There is no way for the handyman to tell Handy and get the time changed. I have 5 decades of experience in handyman, construction, and assembling at doing it.] Most of the jobs are grossly underestimated as far as time required to complete. Lastly, because we have to email them for everything it helps you to see how incompetent some of them are especially with simple definitions like f. That means I was only getting 10% to 20% of what they charge clients. I had one client who showed me he was billed by Handy $700 to have a gazebo put together but wanted to pay me $70 to do the job. I've had several clients show me that Handy charge them several hundred dollars but only paid me $20, $40 or $50. Handy is used by Wayfair and Walmart for furniture assembly and mounting services. ![]() Handy takes a very hefty percentage compared to what they charge clients. I absolutely love being a Taskrabbit tasker and the way Taskrabbit operates. Secondly, this is not my first rodeo with freelancing apps. The responses all come after you complete the task or sometimes even the next day. I have never once gotten a response in 30 minutes. Often it says you'll get a response in 30 minutes, that's a lie. ![]() You have to use the app and email them and wait for them to respond. The first thing that I found very strange was there is no way possible for you to reach someone by phone or virtual chat in an emergency situation. I used Handy because I was transitioning from New York to North Carolina and Handy seemed to be what was used most with the exception of Takl. Handy is a company of thieves and people with a robotic mentality. ![]()
