Summary

The customer needed a full-house assembly of IKEA furniture in Mount Albert, Auckland — everything from a couch and TV cabinet to a dining set, bar stools, three beds, bedside tables and outdoor furniture. The volume of items and the need for the right tools and weekend availability were the main constraints discussed up front. Sixteen offers came in, ranging from hourly rates to a few fixed-price proposals, and the customer accepted an offer of $750. Communication focused on confirming tools, timing and how to manage the large workload across a day or two. The job moved from initial messages about availability to an on-site visit and efficient assembly, completed to the agreed outcome. The customer left a five-star rating, praising efficiency and clear communication.
