AMF delivered mine last month. The local rep said they would "put the crates on
the ground" for me. A large flat bed truck arrived with a heavy duty fork lift
on the back. Perhaps your carrier will do something similar.

One caveat... Are you using Tony Partain, or somebody like him that personally
delivers it? The reason I ask is that Van discounted the shipping by $400 each
time (I did two different orders) if Tony delivered them. That amounted to no
crates for the finished wings, and the actual fuselage. The canopy and windshield
also came uncrated. It actually made it a little easier. I had already built
a wing stand, so we put them straight into the stand. The loose parts all
went on tables or the ground. There were still several crates with parts on each
delivery.
The suggestion that you get helpers is a good idea.

Dave,
Out of curiosity, how much do those things cost? I went to their web site, and
they look on the expensive side....

I looked at them extensively at AirVenture and I thought they were
fairly reasonable. They're not Harbor Freight reasonable but they're
also built considerably better. It's hard to throw out a price because
they have so many different units and set-ups and you can customize
them. To show off their strength they would fully open a drawer and then
stand in it. I don't think I'd try that with an HF unit.

Rick,
Would you say closer to a Craftsman unit?

John, I have the same experience as Rick, just from the booth at AV. I got
a quote for my own custom layout, 12 drawers, 60"W x 30" deep x 47" tall
with thick maple top and exactly the layout I requested. $2800 less
shipping. Any color. All reviews say they're bombproof. Still deciding
though as similar boxes are out there for less.

I upgraded from Craftsman to an HF 42" with no regrets, and I have it loaded
with zero issues and two moves cross country moves with no issue. It's so h
ave it took 4 Samoans (yes real Samoans, I live in Hawaii) to push it up the
ramp into the truck. Just sayin'

Steve,
I see by your area code that you are in the SF bay area. Have you considered flying
to Portland (commercial), renting a U haul, and driving back? This is or
at least was the least expensive option. I did it all in one long day (arrived
home at 1 am). No crating charge, Vans will load tbe U haul for you, get friends
to help unload. Have wing stands ready. One way drop off charge is less expensive
if you return the truck to an east bay location as opposed to San Francisco.
