Marcus and his crew provided outstanding customer service for my local move. They went above and beyond and made sure everything I needed was taken care of before ending their day. They were strong, efficient, careful, and friendly. They went out of their way to make sure the day was as stress free as possible.
We help people move every single day, so moving is pretty routine for us. However, we've never met a single family who didn't ultimately find moving to be stressful. Upheaval is never fun. Everybody knows that it's important to be careful about choosing a new place. Most people think about neighborhood quality, school quality, the aesthetic appearance and general upkeep of the home, and many other factors.
Offices don't come with too many nick-knacks or dishes, but they can be just as complicated and stressful as your standard residential move. In fact, they can be more complicated and stressful because most companies still need to do business while the move is taking place. There are a lot of pitfalls, so we've compiled this list of tips to help you manage your business move.
There are plenty of reasons why you might be moving to a new apartment or condo, and all of them come with certain stresses. You might be downsizing. You might be upsizing, choosing an apartment that has more amenities or is closer to work. There's a lot going on with you right now, no matter what your circumstances are.
Proper packing is an important aspect of the relocation process and our crew of professional packers will ensure your belongings are protected, boxes are organized and labelled. Call 780-434-1100 to schedule an in-home or virtual estimate. We'll give you accurate information about full-service packing prices, timing, and more.

Our move was excellent in all ways and the two young men who did the heavy lifting were personable, professional and efficient. I would highly recommend Eager Beaver. This was the sixth move we have had with this company over the past 10 years and we have never had a complaint.

We had Eager Beaver to move our senior parents. Marcus and Winner were there to do the move and they were both excellent. Everything arrived at the other end without any breakage or damage and they did so efficiently. Both were very personable and professional. The move was done at reasonable rates. Connie booked the move and was very pleasant and easy to deal with. Overall very pleased and would highly recommend!

Eager Beaver moved our office of 120 plus people in 2 and a half days - we have a lot of "stuff". They were amazing - very organized, very friendly; helpful, patient, you name it. We could not have asked for a better moving company! Thank you John and crew - you guys are amazing!

When my father, 92 years old, had to move to a new care centre, I contacted Eager Beaver Moving and Storage because I knew they had experience with moving seniors. Eager Beaver packed everything up quickly and delivered it to the new care centre. I was impressed with the professionalism and efficiency of the Eager Beaver team. They made the move easy, and I highly recommend them.

We recently chose Eager Beaver because of the great reviews and we are glad we did. The team was amazing amazing through the entire process. They were able to answer all of our questions leading up to the move so we were very clear on what to expect. The moving team showed up right on time and worked extremely hard the entire day. More importantly than the speed the team was very careful ensuring everything was packed and moved in perfect condition. We would highly recommend Eager Beaver and will be using them the next time we need a move! Thanks team!

We had a really basic and simple move. We had packed and moved all the small stuff ourselves and called Eager Beaver to move just the big, heavy stuff- freezer, dining room, bedroom, a loveseat and a couple chairs and small tables. They quoted 2 to 3 hours. It took two lethargic, lazy guys 7 hours! They had excuse after excuse (heavy furniture, stairs, long hallway, wrapping furniture...) And they had to have their hourly smoke break, too! I DO NOT RECOMMEND! AVOID!

I hired Eager Beaver Movers to help me move recently and they were fantastic. The team of three that they sent were so efficient, professional, and polite throughout. They took amazing care of all of our possessions, as well as the homes. The team also took the time to make sure all the furniture and heavy items were in just the right place before they left, and really took pride in their job. Amazing!

I was unbelievably impressed with the speedy, polite and effective service of the crew that moved us from Edmonton to RMH today. I cannot thank those guys enough!
They were friendly, careful, and so polite. They let us know when an old beat up bookshelf might not make it and demonstrated such professionalism.
I was only able to meet two of the crew but I was so happy with what they did on what is a very stressful day🧡🧡🧡

I dont even know where to begin. The two nicest, most efficient gents showed up at our house withing their scheduled arrival time the day before our move, and they quickly had our house packed for moving the next day. The next day the same 2 gents arrived with another fellow and they got right to it. They were so efficient we had to take a few things back to the old house! They had us loaded and on the way to the new house in no time. When we all arrived at the new place, there was a horrible several hour delay. It was very hot, 28 above humid lovely spring day for relaxing in the back yard

They arrived exactly on time. In spite of the bitterly cold temperatures they remained cheerful and enthusiastic. After a short survey of the home they promptly began to move my possessions to the truck. They treated my items with respect and wrapped each piece of furniture carefully. When we arrived at our destination they efficiently Unloaded and placed everything where I directed.
Considering the amount of work involved the price was fairly reasonable. I would definitely hire them again.

Best moving experience I have EVER had, hands down. We hired these folks to unload a 28 foot container of our household goods. They showed with a 6-person crew and were DONE in an hour and 12 minutes. No whining, no complaining, no bumped walls, no dropped items. Just sheer can-do attitudes and an effort to please. They were near, nice, polite, accommodating, and the list goes on. Can I give them 6 stars??!! Moving in Edmonton?? You should hire Eager Beaver movers.

I saw the amazing reviews on yelp so I thought I would give them a try.... wow do they make moving easy and painless. They move quick and are very careful when moving your items. This is a family run business that has been around for a long time. I don't picture myself moving ever again without these guys - highly recommend!

I hired Eager Beaver to move me across the city. I was told they had another small move that day but they should be at my place about 1pm. Great! I was also told they would call between 11 and noon on the day of the move to update me on the time they would finish the first move. My move was quoted to be between 5-6 hours.
11:15 on the move day they called. I was asked if it was ok to show up at 11:45. I said yes. They show up at 11:47. The two guys were very friendly and very fast. The entire move took them 3:45. And that's what I was charged.
I highly recommend these guys!!!
