We understand that moving from Boston to Buffalo is not as simple as it sounds.

But as experienced long-distance movers Boston, we take this route confidently because we have done it many times before.

Also, in the Queen City, older neighborhoods like Allentown and Elmwood Village have narrow roads and tight driveways that are difficult to navigate with a moving truck. Our team handles it with ease, thanks to their experience and local knowledge. In addition, Buffalo's extreme winters regularly require extra preparation on moving day to keep your belongings safe from the cold and snow, and our team plans for that well in advance.

ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR RELOCATINGFROM BOSTON TO BUFFALO

Relocation is a hectic thing, but before you move from Boston to Buffalo, NY, here are some important tips from our expert movers.

Plan Early & Create a Checklist

Your relocation planning should start at least 8 weeks prior to your move. Also, create a checklist of all important tasks, such as sorting and packing the items, booking your move, and updating your address. You can download the moving checklist from our website as well.

Declutter Before Your Move

It's the most essential task. Buffalo is 454 miles away from Boston, so the fewer items, the cheaper and easier it is to carry. That's why you should declutter unimportant items and sort everything before you move.

Research Your New Neighborhoods

Spend some time researching your new neighborhood in Buffalo, at least a day before moving. Research is important, as each area has its own parking rules and building requirements, and knowing them in advance will make your move smoother.

Plan for the Winter Weather

Buffalo is known for its heavy snow especially between the months of October and April. If you are moving during this time, it's wise to consider the weather conditions to avoid unnecessary delays and keep your move on track.

Update Your Address and Set Up Utilities

Contact your utility providers in Buffalo before you arrive, so that gas, electricity, water, and all other essential services are ready. Also, update your new address with USPS, your bank, and your employer at least a week before your relocation day.

My subletter fell through at the last minute, and I had 24 hours to move out of my North End walk-up. I called 617 Boston Movers in a panic, and they found a slot for me the same evening. They climbed four flights without complaint, handled tight corners, and didn’t damage a thing. I still can’t believe how quickly and kindly they responded. Some companies say last-minute, but these folks actually deliver.

Noah Thomson11 months ago

Maine could have been stressful moving from Allston to Portland, but 617 Boston Movers made the whole process smooth and easy. The team was careful with all our belongings, our bike, plants, and kitchen items were handled thoughtfully. They picked everything up near Harvard Ave, traveled to Maine without any problems, and arrived at our new West End home right on time. They even helped place the couch exactly where we wanted it.

Scott Livingston4 months ago

Us moving from the South End to Back Bay was already a big job, especially with my large home office and those fragile glass boards I bought during the pandemic. They crack easily if they’re tilted the wrong way, so I was honestly nervous about transporting them. The team at 617 Boston Movers handled everything carefully. They measured each board, packed them upright, and secured them with cardboard corners to keep them protected.

Lauren Anderson4 months ago

They arrived early, walked through the space with us, and immediately got to work. We had dozens of monitors, shelving units, and delicate samples, but they packed everything neatly, labeled each box, and made the process look effortless.

Joshua Rogers10 months ago

Booked a last-minute move from Boston to Florida. Honestly thought no one would take it, but 617 Boston Movers fit me in. The team drove out the next morning and had my furniture set up before lunch. Lifesaver!
