I used the Handy app to book a cleaner for my apartment today. I had $30 in credits from the service to be applied to my booking, built up over time for no-shows and other sub-par service they had provided me in the past. They did not apply my $30 in credit to my booking today, and claimed after I reached out to their customer service that it was applied numerous times. Only when I sent them my receipt did they admit they had made a mistake, but they could only apply the $30 to a future booking. Given my bad experience I am going to cancel my ongoing relationship with the company and I am seeking to be reimbursed for my $30 in credit that they did not provide me.Business Response

Someone stole my debit card information and then ended up spending about 800+ dollars on this app and the company is refusing to give a refund and even after i called the company to stop using my debit card they still allowed the hacker to keep making purchases.Customer Answer

Hello,We were suppose to get the professional installers today at 11 AM EST ** time and none of them appeared at my place. It has been over a week now that my new ** is opened and lying on the couch with all the trash in the room. I got a commitment from Handy supervisor that they should be here by 11 today and stated that we don't have to worry about them. There is a lack of commitment and accountability on Handy's part and they need to immediately install the the ** wall mount and attach the brand new **. They have also damaged my wall. Please call my cell ************ at your earliest.Disappointing customer,****Business Response

I ordered a pergola from Wayfair on 5/11/22 and paid an additional ****** through Handy for installation. I immediately received an email confirming June 15 @ 12:00 PM for the installation. I again received an email confirming the same thing on June 13th. I called today, June 14th to confirm the date for tomorrow and was told they had no one to complete the service as presented to me.Business Response

Hi ******,
We're sorry your booking was rescheduled. While we do service your area, occasionally there aren't enough professionals available at the originally scheduled time. Also, we'd like to clarify that your booking is still in the process of being filled. The system does its best to match your appointment with an available pro, since other pros do claim jobs just a few hours before the scheduled booking. We are confident that your booking will go as planned.Best,
*****

As expected; my booking was rescheduled yet again just now via email to a day that doesnt work for me.. so I had to push it out another day. SO its now a week later than originally booked (a month ago). Very disappointing. I would like an actual phone call from a supervisor and a guaranteed date that this is going to happen. I work so I have had to take time off now for two different days, now it will be a third day of not working. This is a REAL BURDEN. and the event this weekend is ruined. Not happy and disappointed. Please advise as to a call and a solid confirmation of a date that actually happens with the work I paid for two months ago. I have heard your response more than once now, and its not working anymore. Get this installation done!!!
