Eager Beaver Moving was excellent! From the estimate process, to the scheduling, to the move itself….all of it was great! Special shout out to Allan, Samson and Russel. They were our moving team. They worked so very hard to get us out and in. They wrapped all of our things well, protected our floors, disassembled and reassembled our furniture that required this. Awesome! The move was flawless!

Tyler, Andrew & Roman showed up on time for our move. Very friendly, courteous & efficient guys. They put the Eveready bunny to shame with the way they work.
This is our 3rd time using this company & will not consider using anyone else.
Thanks Eager Beaver

Vern, Micky, and Keaton moved me from my condo to a house today and they did an excellent job! They took really good care of my things which I appreciate so much. I’ll be using Eager Beaver again for my next move in a couple of years. Thanks guys!

I would highly recommend Eager Beaver Moving Company! Allan, Jared, Tim & Dima were professional, courteous, funny and efficient. There is no way we could have moved as smoothly and efficiently without them. We recently had a baby and have a toddler so to be able to count on Eager Beaver with this experience was priceless. The crew worked well together and got all of our items into the house into the correct spots without damage. Now we can simply put things away and focus on getting our home comfortable for our family.

We had a great experience with eager beaver moving. The staff arrived on time, were very friendly and efficient and the move was completed efficiently. The price matched the pre-move estimate and there were no damages.

We would not hesitate to use eager beaver in the future

Updated Review- I used Eager Beaver again (April 2025) I wasn’t ready for the move at all (the preceding week had been spent ill). Nathan, Nima, and Vernon helped me manage the move and we worked hard for 8 hours. The team was efficient, good humoured and helpful. I would definitely hire Eager Beaver again.

(June 2021) They were fast, efficient, jovial and professional. They made a stressful day more fun. The only reason I didn't give a 5/5 is that there are a few items that got scratched a little bit. Part of me chalks that up to just the risk of moving anything, and part of me thinks that it could have been protected a little more (i.e. top of kitchen table, drawer pulls on my chest of drawers) - so if I had the option it would be a 4.5/5. Almost perfect ....

Eager Beaver - Are Hands Down THE VERY BEST MOVING & STORAGE COMPANY!! This is the second time I have used them for a 3 part move, and the service is the best of the best! The team of Tyler, Roman, and Andrew made this move for me so easy, they were so kind, efficient, and fast!! The entire coordination of the move right from the quote, the admin of managing my account, and storing my items, gives me such a wonderful peace of mind. As much as I am looking forward to the final move, I am looking so forward to having Eager Beaver do the final trip. Honestly, if you have used them, you know, and if you are looking for a mover, please, do not look any further, you will be leaving a review like this! 30/10 recommend!

Eager Beaver made our move as stress free as possible. From the initial estimate right until move day communication was amazing. The day of, Keegean, Micky and Verne politely introduced themselves and gave a run down of how the move would go. They were all professional and moved lightning fast with no issues. I would 100% used Eager Beaver again and would highly recommend to anyone making a move.

We used Eager beaver to move my father and the office was very respectful and informative and then the movers were great and personable, felt easy enough to change mind with a few things, they were quick to adapt and were very courteous. I highly recommend them for moving help..

Had a fantastic experience with Eager Beaver moving today. My move was chaotic and I felt very overwhelmed, but they made it a great day. Friendly, fast and strong!! Their prices were very good as well. I highly recommend Eager Beaver to anyone looking to move.

Chris and the guys were very professional, and did an excellent job. They were careful with walls and furniture, and did the job in record time. Will highly recommend!

Well, I hate to do this but I fully withdraw my recommendation! We have had time to review the state of our belongings and quite a few are damaged; my BBQ, for example, is so bent out of shape that I am afraid to use it so will have to trash it and get a new one. A number of the furniture items have scratches to the point where the wood is showing, so these will have to be refinished. Granted, it was a big move but I have had this done before; the issue this time was that they had to finish by 5:00 pm, so it seems that due care was sacrificed for expediency. I will NOT ever use Eager Beaver again.

It was great moving experience with Eager Beaver. We just moved from Edmonton to Calgary and had Allan, Samson and Brian helped moving out in Edmonton and Allan, Chris and Branden helped moving in in Calgary. The whole team is professional, fast and takes good care of the belongings (they wrapped all furnitures pretty well and laid blanket to the whole house so flooring and carpet are protected). No damage found, things are in the same place before and after. Allan is the all star!!! He was the mover and the driver, long time working didn’t slow his speed at all. The communication is also very smooth. I would highly recommend using Eager Mover.

Had a fantastic experience with Eager Beaver! Their team of Eric, Jared, and Tyrell did an awesome job with my move. They were professional, efficient, and polite. The Eager Beaver office staff was also great to work with an I appreciate that all fees and billing policies were clearly explained BEFORE they asked for my deposit. Over all a 5/5 experience. I would recommend without hesitation to anyone else needing movers in Edmonton.

We had a fantastic experience in working with Eager Beaver on our recent move. Allan, Jared, Tyler, Jordan, Jack, (the inexhaustible Roman) and Nathan. The movers were polite and incredibly efficient throughout the day. Their accuracy and care through the move was remarkable, not one thing was broken in our move day thanks to their coordinated efforts, their strength and precision.

We used eager beaver last Saturday for our move and we could not be happier with their services. The crew was friendly and professional. They immediately got to work upon arrival and worked hard right up until the last item was in its place. Everything was moved carefully and absolutely nothing was damaged. We explored multiple companies for quotes and theirs was the best quote, very reasonable. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a moving service.

The Eager Beaver crew were fantastic. Great service right from booking to rolling up the last mat. Honest and accurate estimate, fast and efficient on move day. The crew was on time even in the spring snow storm we had on moving day. Nick, Artem and Nathan were polite, hard working and carful with our furniture and our home.

Kostya, Dima and Artem did an outstanding job moving cabinetry into our house. As we are having our house renovated, they moved basically a truckload of cabinets up a flight of stairs and into the master bedroom/closet. I was impressed with their efficiency and care they took in moving the pieces.
I absolutely recommend this team for any of your moving needs. You will not be disappointed.

Amanda Shaw

I am so incredibly impressed by the moving services of Eager Beaver. After an absolutely atrocious experience with a different company eighteen months ago, Eager Beaver came highly recommended for my move this year.

They were early, efficient, professional and friendly. Not only that, they completed the move for a price LESS than what was originally quoted. They took excellent care of my possessions and nothing was damaged.

Thank you for this amazing moving experience.

Drew and Allan were absolutely fantastic for my move. They were so fast, so efficient, and especially careful with everything, even things I told them not to worry about. I will never move without calling this team again. this has been such a stress free experience from start to finish. I can’t thank these two enough.

Last week, Justin, Roman, Tony, and Ashton assisted with my family’s move to our new location. They performed exceptionally well, demonstrating both care and efficiency throughout the process. From the initial booking call to the final moments of the move, the team was professional and easy to work with. They arrived on time and immediately got to work, maintaining a steady pace from start to finish. I was particularly impressed with their flexibility when I requested a change in room placement for an item, and they also took the initiative to repack a few items when the boxes I provided were insufficient.

Thank you for making this experience seamless and stress-free. I will certainly book your services again and highly recommend you to my family and friends.

Downtown Condo, long hallways (1 city block) and a few stops on the way. Total pros! Thanks to Keegan, Dion, Derby and Vernon for taking such good care of my things like it was their own. No damage either. Very nicely packed and unpacked. Thank-you!
