If you\u2019re planning a fall move, or if it has come up unexpectedly, you\u2019re in luck: fall is an <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">awesome<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> time to move. The busy, and often expensive summer season has come and gone, families looking to relocate and beat the rush of back-to-school are settled in, and temperatures tend to dip into more comfortable ranges. Lower prices, lower temps, and lower competition all work in your favor. That said, you\u2019ll still want to plan ahead as much as possible. With different seasons come different challenges and different considerations. And if you\u2019ve never moved during the fall, you\u2019ll want to brush up on the basics before diving in. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. Negotiate to Take Advantage of Lower Moving Costs<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonus &#8211; moving in the fall is typically much more affordable. Moving companies have cleared the summer rush, gas prices can be lower, and there is more truck\/crew availability. Whether renting a truck or hiring a full moving team, this typically means you have a greater ability to cost-compare and negotiate on moving estimates and bids. So be sure to shop around, and perhaps do a little digging online about cost-comparisons between the summer and fall. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Declutter from Summer<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may have a number of clothing items, swimwear, beach gear, outdoor furniture, \u00a0toys, and other seasonal items that just won\u2019t make it to next summer. Instead of packing and moving these items, only to discard them next year, take some time to declutter and either <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/ditch-or-donate-how-to-organize-your-home\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=fall_moving\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ditch or donate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> items you don\u2019t want to pay to take with you. And, if there are old cold-weather clothing items you or your family have grown out of, consider donating those before the colder weather hits. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Rethink Storage<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you live in a climate with challenging seasonal weather, reconsider the benefits of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/storage-moves\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=fall_moving\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">putting some items in storage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during your move. This will help clear your moving truck of heavy or bulky items you may not use until late next spring or summer (like outdoor furniture, gardening tools, and barbecues), and can streamline your move by helping you pack everything at once. It will also make move-in that much easier when you arrive. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Pack for the Season<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you\u2019re considering bulkier items, don\u2019t forget about clothes and sporting gear that you may not need right away after the move. Pack seasonal items together so you can find them easily later &#8211; and make sure you\u2019ve left out all those cold-weather items you\u2019ll need shortly after you settle into your new place, like rain boots and raincoats, snow gear, and snow-removal equipment. If you\u2019ve stored them away, now\u2019s a good time to make sure they\u2019re easy to access and unpack after you\u2019ve arrived. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><i>5. Unpack<\/i><\/b><b> for the Season<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve stored away crock pots and sandwich presses, large dutch ovens, and other seasonal dishware and service wear, consider talking to your movers about placing them in more accessible locations in your house or apartment upon your arrival. Instead of trudging out to the garage or down to the storage closet to find items you packed away last year, they\u2019ll be in your kitchen or dining room, ready to be put into service for the fall and winter seasons. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>6. Setup Utilities in Advance<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s nothing worse than arriving in a new place during the chilly, wet fall to find you haven\u2019t set up all the proper utilities like electricity and gas. Often times, waits for new accounts can be several days. Not so great when the temperature drops. So be sure you\u2019re clear on what\u2019s required to setup or transfer your accounts, so that you arrive to a warm, bright environment on day 1. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>7. Put Down Plastic During Your Move<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When both moving in and moving out during the fall, the potential to track in wet leaves, dirt, and mud increase. You want to get back your security deposit, or at least ensure your post move-out cleanup doesn\u2019t involve scrubbing a rug (more than you might already have to). So buy plastic painter\u2019s sheeting, or cut open large black trash bags and tape to entryways and other pathways where movers and friends will be coming and going. When you arrive at your destination, be sure the movers wait for you to lay down more plastic before unloading your items.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>8. Keep a Broom Handy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the fall, no matter your preparation, you\u2019re going to track in a lot of leaves and dirt. Have a broom, paper towels, and sponge mops ready so you can clean as you go. This will ease the post-move cleanup, and help to avoid tracking materials into and out of your moving truck, onto your furniture and boxes, and into your new home or apartment. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>9. Clear Outdoor Pathways<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite your precautions for protecting your existing and new home or apartment, you should take extra steps to clear the outdoor paths to and from the moving truck. Sweep away leaves and shallow puddles with a stiff broom, and put down flat pieces of cardboard in any particularly wet, muddy, or slick spots. Cleaning while you go can help keep your place tidy (and help with that security deposit) and can also <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/5-tips-staying-healthy-safe-sane-moving\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=fall_moving\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">help avoid injuries<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you might sustain while carrying heavy items to and from your place. If wet weather is in the forecast, and you feel like taking extra precautions &#8211; try a bag or two of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B001O8C8I4\/ref=asc_df_B001O8C8I45182035\/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;creative=394997&amp;creativeASIN=B001O8C8I4&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=167142066433&amp;hvpos=1o1&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=634057964885041705&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=1014221&amp;hvtargid=pla-307401329737\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turface<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Designed to deal with water quickly on sports fields, it absorbs its weight in liquid, and doesn\u2019t cake, making it easy to clean up and discard after your move is complete. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>10. And an Umbrella for that Matter<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rain is the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">worst<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for moves. There\u2019s simply no avoiding taking your things outside into the weather to load them into the truck. So be sure you have an ample supply of umbrellas and other plastic covering to keep furniture, upholstery, and boxes dry as they\u2019re loaded into and out of the truck. Wet boxes can break or mold\u2014especially if headed for prolonged storage. And it\u2019s just no fun starting out in your new place with a wet couch. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>11. Dress Appropriately<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know, you\u2019re probably used to the tried-and-true moving uniform: running shoes, shorts, and old T-shirt and a baseball cap. But during the fall you&#8217;re going to have to plan ahead or colder, and potentially wet weather. Be sure you\u2019re wearing shoes with good traction, have a hooded rain jacket on hand, and that you\u2019ve considered layers so you can dress up or down depending on temperature fluctuations, and how challenging your move becomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>12. Get Your Car Serviced<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this isn\u2019t necessarily related to your move, relocation is a good reminder to do those things you\u2019ve been putting off throughout the year. While there\u2019s a lot you can do online, some things, like your car, require professional support. So take your ride for service to ensure it\u2019s running and in good shape prior to the colder, wetter seasons. Have your service technician rotate the tires and check them for over wear, triple check the heater, change the oil, clean air filters, add antifreeze and new wiper fluid, and replace your old windshield wipers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, hey, if it turns out that your move was indeed last minute, and you\u2019re not pumped at the idea of a complicated moving process, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/get-started\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=fall_moving\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Dolly.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> We\u2019ll give you a guaranteed moving estimate and connect you to a helper you can discuss your move with. \u00a0Whether you need your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/apartment-move\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=fall_moving\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">apartment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/retail-delivery\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=fall_moving\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a single couch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, moved across town\u2014or just need <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/labor-only-moves\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=fall_moving\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">some muscle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help you unload your truck\u2014we\u2019ve got you covered.
