BethanyUS•2 reviewsNov 27, 2024Complete frauds and scammersComplete frauds and scammers. Do NOT give them your business or entrust them with your belongings. They subcontracted the work to even bigger scammers and bullies, I was sexually harassed by the movers they sent, my belongings were damaged and arrived late, and I was extorted for an additional $7k above their quote upon threat of keeping my goods and selling them. When I tried to bring a claim/law suit, they couldn’t be served because
Brian UtschUS•1 reviewAug 1, 2023Horrible and costly serviceHorrible and costly service. It’s less expensive to go replace your items than pay for this company. They subcontract out your shipment. They way over calculate the cubic footage, then when they picked up I had to sign that I would pay $600 in cash when they delivered. When it came here they had changed it to $700 and said I agreed to it. Then they wanted another $200 just to put it in the house, not even up stairs. It was a total of 7

Lori ApplemanUS•6 reviewsMay 15, 2023Theives, Liars, and CrooksTo start, this isn't a moving company, it's a brokerage. They sell your move. After charging big money to make a bid firm, they don't stop the actual movers from ignoring that and extorting more cash out of you. There's NO COVERAGE for damage regardless of what they tell you. They will jerk you around, send you to several different claim companies, none of which are actually insurance companies and none of which can get you paid. Thi

Ron HaggertonUS•1 reviewMay 12, 2023DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLEThe broker was very persuasive. Told me they were insured and gave me a decent price quote. About a week before the move, they tried to double my price. The moving company they subcontracted was hideous. There was damage to my stuff because of a wreck and one email I got back from them in all caps basically read that it was not their problem. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE. Contact a reputable moving company and skip the broker. It is

DrVUS•3 reviewsApr 1, 2023BE AWARE SCAM-BASED MOVING BROKER COMPANYIf I could give a 0 and guarantee NO ONE else would EVER go through the experience that I have, I would. BE AWARE OF SOUTHERN GUARANTEE AND THEIR FRAUDULENT PRACTICES. And before I go any further, let me be clear that I have evidence, witnesses, and the traumatic physical and mental scars to bear of all that I will say, REGARDLESS of their response which may follow this review. First of all, this company should be put out of busi

AJAJUS•2 reviewsMar 15, 2023Bait and switch low estimate; fake positive reviewsPlease note that the two companies from my complaint are SOUTHERN GUARANTEE MOVING AND STORAGE (USDOT Number unkown), and HANDLE WITH CARE MOVING & TRANSPORTATION LLC, USDOT Number 3190967.The first issue is the broker, Southern Guarantee, deliberately low-balled my estimate only for the mover to give a severe upcharge at pickup. Southern Guarantee gave me a binding estimate of $2068. As of the delivery today, I have
Michael MaraUS•1 reviewMar 7, 2023Absolute worst experience ever working…Absolute worst experience ever working with this shady company. “Brett” wouldn’t let me say no, kept lowering the price on the move even though I was hesitant, and wanted to do more research. He pretty much begged me to take the deal, even broke down the math for mpg/gas to where it sounded too good to pass up. He wouldn’t stop talking about all his marijuana and drug escapades with me like I actually gave a crap. The next

C. T.US•1 reviewFeb 22, 2023I applied for this brokerI applied for this broker, I spoke with a consultant, Bret, who said he was a moving coordinator. I described to him my house and belonging not only in my home but my storage and my need to move from Michigan to Florida. He said he understood the space I needed and quoted me 500 cubic feet would be more than enough. Then he called back a week before moving and stated we should upgrade to 800 cubic feet, knowing what I described to him would no
Samuel FrenchUS•1 reviewFeb 21, 2023This POS company is a middle man who…This POS company is a middle man who connects you with a shipping provider. They take their healthy cut by providing you an erroneous deal (cubic sq ft, etc) but when the actual movers arrive, the movers reviews your shipment and the ACTUAL storage needed, plus the ADDITIONAL packing items, which SOUTHERN GUARANTEE did not mention. The victims are the consumers and the shipping company!100% misleading tactics by Southe

These are all scamsters trying to lock your luggage with them in warehouse and demand money.My luggage was missing 1 box and tv stand glass was not delivered. Customer care is awful., if you want to put your anxiety

Matthew PutnamUS•1 reviewJan 26, 2023These guys are a nightmarePlease take the time to read this review and know full well what you are getting yourself into with these guys; you will be very happy that you did because this is hugely important for anyone looking to move. DO NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTLY. Southern Guarantee moving “broker” is simply just that and nothing more. This is the single, only thing that they do with your move. They just find you any moving company that gives them the most profit

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY unless you like to be completely screwed over and lose your money. In July 2022, "Ben" at Southern Guarantee quoted me $7064 to move my 3 bdrm home from Boise to North Carolina. I repeatedly tried to give him measurements of things to ensure accuracy and a correct quote. He told me it would be fine and what he was putting in would le
