They took incredible care to ensure every single item was properly padded and protected, and everything was meticulously organized both in their truck and in my storage unit. Their attention to detail really stood out — they even laid down additional cardboard on the ground to make sure my already plastic-wrapped mattresses remained perfectly clean and ready for the move to my new house later on.
On top of that, they moved a large safe with total precision and care. Not only did they handle the safe flawlessly, but they also made sure there wasn’t a single scratch or bit of damage to the safe itself or anything in the house along the way. Watching them navigate that kind of weight with such professionalism and control was seriously impressive.
Their efficiency, teamwork, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful day feel smooth and completely manageable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a moving company that truly goes above and beyond.
I’ve had a couple of moves this last year and this company was in my opinion the best.
They were in constant contact before the move which was refreshing because any move is stressful. They were courteous, well experienced, knowledgeable with the moving process and simply amazing.
When I met up with them in the morning they were there before the security were even there and we were half way moved before the building was ready.
I did have the opportunity to chat with Chris and Eric. I was surprised that two smaller men could move all the items so efficiently. Nothing was banged up and was placed exactly where I needed at the moving location. In my conversation with Chris and Eric I found out that they both have been helping with moves since childhood. They even helped me set up and move a few other things before they left which they didn’t need to do. So Eager Beaver Moving have done a great job in employing these two.
They are based out of Edmonton but are now servicing the Calgary area too.
If you’re looking for a mover for big or small moves I would recommend this company. I will be using them again. They are now in my contacts so I can recommend them to anyone that asks me for a great moving company. Thanks Eager Beaver Moving and Storage.

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.
FAQs About Our Long Distance Moving in Calgary
What’s considered a long-distance move?
Long-distance typically means moving beyond your local area – often 150 km+ or across city/provincial boundaries. We support long-distance moves within Alberta and cross-country relocations across Canada.
How far in advance should I book a long distance move?
We recommend booking at least 3–4 weeks in advance to ensure availability, especially during peak seasons.
How do I plan a long-distance move?
Start by confirming your move dates and building a basic inventory of what’s moving. Decide what you’ll pack yourself versus what you want professionally packed, and plan important logistics like elevator bookings, parking, and utilities. A clearly labeled “first-night essentials” box also makes arrival much easier.
Do you provide packing services for long distance moves?
Yes. We offer full and partial packing options, including custom crating for high-value or fragile items.
How should I prepare furniture for long-distance moving?
Empty and clean furniture, remove loose shelves/legs when possible, and keep hardware in labeled bags. Let us know about oversized or delicate pieces in advance so we can plan protection and handling properly.
Can you move me from Calgary to another province?
Absolutely. We handle moves across Alberta and to any province in Canada through our trusted long distance network.
How much do long-distance movers cost in Canada?
Long-distance costs vary based on distance, shipment size (weight/volume), access at both locations (stairs/elevators/parking), and added services like packing, crating, or storage. Once we know your inventory and destination, we’ll provide a clear estimate based on your move plan.
Are my belongings insured during a long distance move?
Yes. We offer comprehensive coverage options to protect your items during transit.
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.
