During a time of great stress Guardian Moving took much of it away. The office staff was courteous and willing to accommodate my wishes. The movers were prompt and took great care of my furniture.
Negative Guardian Moving Systems Reviews
Yelp
Call back a week or so later and no one had any info on our scheduled move! When moving in they scraped our brand new wooden floors. There were several areas where the furniture was damaged.
Yelp
We didn't receive our belongings until a month and 5 days after ... We received our belongings broken and scratched up. My brand new headboard was broken. 2 of our dinning room table chairs were broken in half.
The company quoted one price and as soon as the truck was loaded the price almost doubled. When the truck finally arrived many items were broken. There was virtually no communication.
