UB campus rentals, subdivisions, and the Boulevard corridor. Good and Fair moves Amherst with its own crew and a flat written price.
Moving in Amherst: What to Expect
Amherst runs from the University at Buffalo north campus and its student rentals to the subdivisions around Sweet Home and the Boulevard corridor. Moves here are often roomier suburban homes or first-of-the-semester apartment turns, so we size the crew right and plan around the UB calendar and the traffic.
What to line up for a Amherst move
- Apartment complexes near UB have their own move-in hours and elevators
- Larger subdivision homes mean more volume and a longer carry
- Semester turnover packs the calendar around September and May

Three ways to keep the day moving

- Book early around the UB semester rushes
- Declutter before packing to keep the volume and price down
Three Steps to Moving Day
From the first phone call to the last box set down where you want it.
Tell Us the Details
Give us the shape of your move by phone, over a quick video walk-through, or on the form. Back comes a flat, written price, not a vague range that creeps upward on the day.
Grab Your Date
Pick your day and we set the right crew and truck, then sort out any street-parking permit, walk-up stairs, or building rules so the morning runs smooth.
We Do the Lifting
A single lead runs the job, wrap, load, drive, and set down, with our own Buffalo crew, snow or shine, so you are never handed off to a stranger midway.

Questions We Hear a Lot
Do you move within Amherst?
Yes, from the UB rentals to the subdivisions. Amherst moves run at our flat hourly rate, with the number set in writing, and we work around the campus move-in rush. For a move out of state, we quote on weight and mileage.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Good and Fair Moving holds New York household-goods authority and carries full insurance, and every job runs with our own crew from start to finish, no broker skimming the middle. If you want to see the authority numbers and coverage details, just say so, and we will walk you through your valuation choices before anything is signed.
How do you handle a move in the Buffalo winter?
We move straight through it, that is half of what we do here. The crew salts the walk and the steps, drops runners over wet floors so nothing gets tracked in, and shrink-wraps upholstery against the slush and road spray. Lake-effect days get a little slower and a lot more careful, and we plan the loading around the worst of the squalls.
My place is an old Buffalo double with narrow stairs. Can you handle that?
That is our bread and butter. The doubles and Victorians in North Buffalo, Elmwood, Parkside, and Allentown all have tight turns, steep old staircases, and front porches to work around. We measure the doorways, pad the newel posts and jambs, and hand-carry or hoist whatever will not make the corner.
Will you pack for me?
As much or as little as you want. The whole house? We will box it. Only the kitchen and the artwork? That too. We arrive with real boxes and paper, write the room on every carton, and will unpack you at the other end once the truck is clear.
Will you move a piano, a safe, or a pool table?
For sure, by folks who handle this kind of thing every week. An upright or a baby grand, a gun safe, a slate pool table, an heirloom, a framed canvas, every one of them rides on the right board or dolly with the proper straps and blankets, and we build a crate to fit when a piece earns it.
Can I reschedule or cancel?
Absolutely. Move your date or cancel with at least a couple of days’ notice and the deposit comes back in full. Every term sits in your booking in plain language, so there is nothing to guess at later.
