“Talk about guardian angels.. Swift Movers left me for dead. Arrived to my property to move a fridge, damaged the American Oak floors, promised to bring more guys, never showed up and refused to help or pay for the damage. I had 2 hours to remove the fridge before the landlord sold the property. I had 3% battery life on my phone so I called Specialist Movers. Its Thursday after 4pm, the team shows up and the fridge was out of the house and at the next location within 2 hours! They even did it cheaper than the idiot at Swift Movers had quoted me.”
