Full Guide to Prepare for the First Day of School

School is officially back in session. Whether you’re a parent sending your child off for the first time or juggling multiple school-going kids, the back-to-school season can get overwhelming fast. From buying supplies to organizing last-minute deliveries, the to-do list never ends.

That’s where a reliable delivery partner like Lalamove can make your life easier. Whether it's delivering school supplies, uniforms, or forgotten lunchboxes, our on-demand delivery service ensures nothing gets left behind. Here's your complete guide to preparing for the first day of school without the stress.

Stock Up on School Essentials

The first thing on every parent’s mind: supplies. Notebooks, pencils, art kits, calculators, and laptop accessories—kids need them all, and often in specific brands or colors.

Use Lalamove to deliver school supplies directly to your doorstep, same day. You can buy them online or from your favorite local store, and we’ll handle the pickup and drop-off for you.

Get Uniforms and Shoes Sorted

School uniforms and new shoes often require sizing, tailoring, or multiple store runs. If your child’s uniform needs last-minute alterations or if you forgot to collect it on time, don’t panic.

Lalamove offers same-day deliveries across the UAE, so you can send or receive uniforms from your tailor, school store, or mall without any hassle.

Set Up Study & Homework Corners

Create a clean, quiet space for after-school homework and study. This could involve organizing furniture, desks, chairs, or storage shelves.

Need a small shelf picked up from IKEA or a second-hand study table from a Facebook group seller?

Lalamove’s 1-ton and 3-ton trucks with helper support can deliver bulky items right to your door, so you can set up the space without any heavy lifting.

Plan the First Day Outfit + Accessories

Accessories such as school shoes, backpacks, PE kits, and pencil cases are often overlooked. Make a checklist and cross-check with your child’s school requirements.

Send Lalamove to handle multi-stop deliveries across Dubai. Our drivers can pick up from multiple locations and deliver everything to your home before bedtime.

Stay Flexible With Last-Minute Needs

No matter how much you plan, something always gets missed; homework left at home, forgotten PE shoes, or a sudden notice from school.

With Lalamove’s app, you can book a delivery in minutes and send anything from one point to another across the UAE. Choose from cars, 1-ton, or 3-ton trucks based on what you need delivered. Our drivers are quick, reliable, and just a few taps away.

Back-to-school season doesn’t have to feel like a mad rush. With the right planning and the right delivery partner, you can get everything sorted before the bell rings.
