With a swipe or a click, your items are purchased and on their way while you sit on your sofa with a...

So who’s ready for spring? This is the time of year when people are holding their breath for sunshine and warmer weather.

There’s so much that happens behind the scenes at Guardline. Our customers order products, receive them and go about their lives. But there’s a whole world happening on the other end of our website. This week we pull back the curtain to give you a sneak peek into one of our team members: Simon Kornelis, Customer Service/Logistics Manager. He’s a...

The holidays are over, and your wallet may be feeling it. As much as we try to be aware of spending, it’s just too tempting to buy one more gift for friends and family.

Now that the holidays are over, it’s time to face that dreaded monster: The New Year’s Resolution. (Groan.) It’s not a surprise that most people have negative feelings about resolutions. They remind us of all the things we don’t like about ourselves on one expectation-packed day of the year.  We put ourselves under a lot of pressure to change around...

Another great year is coming to an end. Where does the time go? We’ve had such a fun, busy year at Guardline, and we’re looking forward to another one in 2020.
