All bookings are typically charged on an hourly basis (rounded to the next 30 minutes). You choose how long and the service needed. You may extend bookings past initial booking in some cases, but dependant on service-provider availability.
My service provider is late - what should I do?
Generally expect service providers to arrive on-site within 15 minutes of their scheduled start time. Outside of these cases, we may be able to update you, or you may also choose to cancel the booking for a full-refund before the service provider commences any work. Customers are only charged once the job has been started; and a service provider will still be on-site for the booked duration. If you feel unsatisfied you can report the contractor using our help page and the contractor will be penalized after our specialized team investigates the situation. Refer to our terms and conditions agreement for more details.
When will I receive my refund?
Stripe handles all the payments and refunds through the Ezi app. Therefore once the refund is approved it will be issued to the same card/bank account it was initially charged to. Please give it 5-7 business days to show up or disappear from your credit-card statement.
