Hear from Our Satisfied Customers
They take the time to share their fabulous moving experiences with us!
I used Eager Beaver Moving Company to move from Edmonton to Winnipeg. The service was excellent. It only took 1 week for the movers to deliver all my stuff from Edmonton to Winnipeg. Nothing was broken or damaged. Movers were punctual, helpful and very friendly. I highly recommend their service!
Eager Beaver was great to deal with for our move from Edmonton to Kelowna. The crew who moved us out of our Edmonton home were professional and friendly and took great care moving our possessions. They wrapped everything fragile and were quick and efficient. We needed to store our possessions for a couple of weeks, and Eager Beaver went above and beyond by plugging in our freezer while they had it and also taking care of all our plants.
Eager Beaver helped move my parents from Edmonton to Calgary last weekend. The guys were fantastic, helpful and didn’t even complain about their large heavy furniture 🙂 They were on time and very professional. We would 100% recommend them.
Long-distance Moving FAQ
What qualifies as a long-distance move?
A move that crosses city or provincial boundaries (typically over 150 km) is considered long-distance. We offer both Western Canada and cross-country moving options.
How far in advance should I book a long-distance move?
Ideally, book at least 4–6 weeks in advance. Peak seasons (spring/summer) fill up quickly, so the sooner you schedule, the better.
How do I plan a long-distance move?
Start by confirming your move dates, creating a room-by-room inventory, and deciding what to pack yourself versus what you’d like help with. It also helps to plan utilities, address changes, and a “first-night” essentials box so you’re not searching for basics after delivery.
What should I look for when choosing long-distance movers in Edmonton?
When selecting long-distance movers in Edmonton, consider their experience, licensing, insurance coverage, customer reviews, and the range of services they offer. Choosing a reputable company ensures your belongings are handled safely and your move goes smoothly.
What sets you apart from other long-distance moving companies in Edmonton?
We combine personalized, local service with national reach. Our reputation, transparent pricing, and attention to detail make us one of the most trusted long-distance moving companies Edmonton residents rely on.
Can I get help with packing for my long-distance move?
Absolutely. We offer full and partial packing services, using high-quality materials to ensure everything arrives safely.
How should I prepare furniture for long-distance moving?
Clean and empty furniture, remove loose shelves/legs when possible, and keep hardware in labeled bags. We’ll pad and protect items properly, but letting us know about fragile pieces, tight stairwells, or oversized items ahead of time helps everything go smoothly.
What areas do you serve for long-distance moves?
We serve all of Alberta and Western Canada directly, and through Great Canadian Van Lines we offer moves to/from any province in Canada.
How much do long-distance movers cost?
Long-distance pricing varies based on shipment size (weight/volume), distance, access details at both locations, and add-ons like packing or storage. Once we know your inventory and destination, we can provide a clear estimate built around your specific move.
Will my belongings be transferred to another truck?
With our Western Canada service – no. Your items stay on the same truck. With van line moves, a transfer may occur, but all handling is managed professionally and securely.
How long does a long-distance move take?
Transit times vary by destination. For Western Canada moves, delivery often occurs within 1–3 days. Cross-country moves may take 5–10 days depending on distance and scheduling.
Do I need to tip long-distance movers?
Tipping is optional and never expected. If you choose to tip, many customers base it on the overall experience and the complexity of the move.
