House moving and pickup help in Kenya

Moving from a bedsitter in Kahawa West to a one bedroom in Ruaka, or collecting a fridge bought on Jiji, usually means finding a pickup and a couple of strong hands. Taskers with pickups, canters and helpers can bid for the job.

List the items, both locations, floors and whether there are stairs, and your preferred date. Pay into a secure hold and release it once everything arrives.

Typical jobs

Tips

List large items and an estimate of boxes or bags.
Give floors, stairs and gate access at both ends.
Say how many helpers you need besides the driver.
Mention if the route passes a toll or the Nairobi Expressway.

Agree the vehicle size, number of helpers, who pays parking or expressway tolls and how fragile items are wrapped. Disconnecting gas cylinders and cookers safely should be done before the move.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hire someone for a single item?

Yes. Single item moves and marketplace collections are common tasks.

Can the tasker ask for fuel money upfront?

They can request an advance of up to 50% of the task price for transport costs, which you approve or decline.

Are my things insured?

Taskeeu does not provide insurance cover. Ask the tasker in the chat about their own arrangements before you accept.

Can they move me to another town?

Yes, if a tasker bids for it. Long moves should state both towns clearly.

How do I confirm delivery?

Check your items at the new place, then give the tasker your completion code.
