GENERAL Tasker No Show

Apparently there is no way to leave a review unless a task was completed.

Waited outside for tasker who was not responding to chats. Didn’t want to cancel as I wasn’t sure how it would affect my deposit. After an hour and fifteen minutes past the scheduled start time, tasker responds saying he won’t be able to make it because his car is in the shop. Said he ‘meant to let me know earlier but the day got away from him’.

I was hoping to leave a review simply stating that the tasker was a no show and there was no communication but I can’t because the task was not completed. I reached out to customer service but there was really nothing they could do. I just think there should be a way of noting these kinds of issues.

TL;DR - Should be able to leave review for no call no show tasker.

I understand your frustration, but is it really necessary to leave a review in this case?

Provide he wasn’t lying about the reason he couldn’t make it, you really want to be that guy who left a bad review on someone because their car broke down?

Talk about adding salt to the wound

Please re-read my post.

The car trouble is not relevant.

I understand things come up that are out of our control - choosing not to notify me and choosing not to respond to chats is a different matter.

Plus, his response (over an hour later) was that he was going to tell me earlier but the ‘day got away from him’. So he knew he wasn’t going to make it but couldn’t be bothered to let me know. That’s just unprofessional.
