Phenomenal moving experience! Eric, Andrew W, and Nathan were beyond great! They worked fast, remained incredibly professional from start to finish, and treated every item with care as if it were their own. They made the stressful process of moving feel effortless. Truly top-tier service from start to finish. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

We used Eager Beaver based on the referral of our real estate agent. What a fantastic company. Our move and storage and move again was seamless, provided careful care of our belongings and actually was a lot of fun in the end. Many thanks to Dustin, Roman, Nolan and Mike. If we ever move again they will be our first call. Many thank yous.

I highly recommend Eager Beaver - very professional - took great care with my possessions and laid out protectors on my flooring at both ends of the move. They showed up on time, worked efficiently and were friendly - you couldn't ask for more. This move was just across town, but I've used movers from all over Canada, and these guys are some of the best. Thanks for a job well done, guys!!

Quick and professional. We've gone with them twice and both times we paid about half of what was estimated because they finished several hours ahead of schedule.

Charity Erickson

I was one of the those guys where I called a couple of buddies to move stuff and pay them with a case of beer and some pizza. Also to have good company.

After I’ve experienced eager beaver, I’m leaving it to the professionals. They thought of things I didn’t think of and were more than willing to help me pack.

I would compare it to flying economy class to business class. Highly recommended this company.

We had the greatest move with Eager Beaver and their guys!!!! Allen, Samson and Nay where wonderful to work with and where able to accomplish what would have taken us a week alone in 10 hours. Cannot speak more highly of those guys! Excellent customer service and made sure we were happy with where things went!!! Thanks Allen, Samson and Nay!!!!!!!!

Donna Montgomery

The crew of Allan, Samson and Dima arrived early and were quick to load. Only complaint from me is first, we were told items were going to the Eco station ( with an extra charge for the eco station) but on the day were told items were going to Eager Beaver warehouse, where Find would select items they could use. If do, why were we charged an eco station fee. Also an extra worker was added which increased the cost. What were we to say at that point? Happy with the move itself.

Thx folks for making a stressful move bearable. From quotes and booking with Brant - to the packers (who’ve names I’ve forgotten) that made light work of what would have taken me a day and bit to do - right down the amazing moving team of Nate, John P and Tim who effortlessly moved me into storage this morning (with smiles, humor, and some good tunes to boot)

I especially loved the online portal for managing my quote and all other things. It worked seamlessly.

I’ll recommend you folks anytime - and I’ll use your services again in the future.

Truly grateful for the 5-star service ❤️‍🔥

EAGER BEAVER has been my movers of choice for several years now because of their excellent service and today was no different. Allan, Samson, and Dima were our movers they were very courteous, highly efficient and took the utmost care of my precious belongings. I will certainly use EAGER BEAVER for any of my future moves. Thank you!!

I've used Eager Beaver Moving in the past, and didn’t hesitate to hire them again for our recent move to a new home. From the quote process to moving day, everything went smoothly and professionally. Communication was clear and timely throughout, which helped reduce a lot of the stress that typically comes with moving.

The crew of three movers were friendly, efficient, and hardworking. They showed up on time, worked steadily throughout the day, and handled all of our belongings with care. The furniture disassembly and reassembly service was especially helpful—it saved us a lot of time and hassle, and everything was put back together perfectly in the new place.

There was some minor wall damage during the move, which is completely understandable. Eager Beaver handled it in a timely and professional manner, which we really appreciated.

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional moving company!

Tara Ward

I recently hired Eager Beaver to help with my move. The service and communication with the head office was great, efficient and responsive. The team that came on move day were equally good, very respectful, efficient and just really good. Thank you to James, Tony and Andrew for making a stressful experience, pretty stress free and very easy!

Ryan

1746973290

I've moved a few times for work and most of my experiences have been good, this one was GREAT! From the moment Kostua, Dima, Autem and Chase showed up work started. During the walk through and while placing runners they were grabbing things to load. They were all super friendly, energetic, and truly appeared to love their jobs. My kids and i really enjoyed the music as well, except for the Adel......booooo! They were careful no to damage anything and took care to wrap each peice of furniture. We couldn't believe the speed these four young men worked, it was a frenzy of activity. The unload seemed even faster, with the same attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend this company, I hope all their staff is as professional as my crew was.

Fantastic movers! Kastya and Artem are probably the quickest and most professional movers I've seen. Legitimately wanted to get the move done fast so I'd be charged the least ammount of hours. Very helpful, helped put together furniture that I'd need as my tools were packed away. Definitely recommended 10/10

Eager Beaver assisted us at Westend Seniors Activity Centre with our bottle drive fundraiser for our community garden. They were great to work with! Allan was responsive, professional and very helpful.

I had an amazing experience with Eager Beaver Moving Company! From start to finish, they were quick, efficient, and incredibly friendly. The team worked like a well-oiled machine, handling everything with care and professionalism. They were also impressively clean and organized—something I really appreciated during the chaos of moving. I 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free move.

These guys were amazing. I can’t recommend them enough. I was so impressed by how strong, quick, well mannered and pleasant the team of guys were. Even when I felt bad needing to change my mind about where to put things, they were professional and kind, and made me feel like it was no problem. If you are looking for someone to move your stuff - these are your guys.

Used these guys for my move from Beaumont to Saint Albert and the quality of work was phenomenal. The crew of 5 guys worked 11 hours straight with only a couple 5 min breaks the entire day. The respectful and positive attitudes the entire day I was also very impressed with. I highly reccomend them for your next move.

I had the pleasure of working with both the Edmonton (Brian/Darrell/Nay) and Calgary (Brian, who drove the truck down & Chris) and highly recommend their services! The whole process was smooth from my first phone call to unloading. They were on time, careful to load and unload and worked hard to get the job done in a timely fashion. We even had a quick pop-in from the founder (just happened to live down the street!) which was fun for the YEG guys! If you’re moving, Eager Beaver is the way to go!

Shelley Kunellis

If you are wondering who to use on your next move. Look no further !! You found them!!! Thank you gentlemen!!!

Shojai Arvand

The crew that came to help us with our moving journey was Tyler, Russle, Trey, and Dima. They were amazing people and got things done efficiently. They were focused and persistent throughout our entire moving process. Large heavy objects like our piano, peloton, and basketball hoop didn’t stop them from getting the job done. I would highly recommend!

Natasha Fryzuk

1746302789

Definitely the best moving experience I’ve ever had. Nathan, Andrew V, and Jordan were an excellent team and very lovely to deal with. All my belongings, including some fragile antiques, were treated with the utmost care. Thanks guys! 🥇

We had a great experience today with the crew from Eager Beaver Moving and Storage.
The guys showed up on time and were ready to work hard.
We not only give the crew a big thumbs up but also the company. The guys were well equipped to move us as efficiently as possible. We strongly recommend this company for anyone considering a move.

Matthew Lakey

1745950818

I would highly recommend Eager Beaver—they are extremely professional. My sister has used them twice, my mother once, and even my grandmother has had a great experience with them. So, choosing them for my move was an easy decision. They were quick, efficient, and handled everything with care and respect.

The team who assisted with my move was respectful and polite throughout. There was a minor scheduling issue on the day, which was entirely outside of their control, and it did cause a slight delay. However, after speaking with management, the matter was addressed with professionalism, respect, and understanding. I truly appreciated how it was handled, and I felt very satisfied with the outcome.

Despite that one hiccup, I continue to highly recommend Eager Beaver to anyone in need of a reliable moving company. Plus, the fact that they are a local business makes it all the more rewarding to support them.

Ella Toledo

Jennifer Schmidt

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!

John & Cheryl Diamond

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
