To All,
My apologies if this is the wrong forum or threads already exist on this topic (my searching didn't turn up much). My question is regarding unloading the crates from Van's. My understanding is that they say you (the receiver) are responsible for getting them off the truck and into your garage (hangar, teepee, etc.). For the shippers you have used, is this really true? I.e. do these things really arrive on a truck with no lift gate and no pallet jack? I don't usually have a lot of extra help around my place so my plan (hope?) is to get a number of furniture dollies from Harbor Freight and if I can get the guy to get them off the truck on onto the dollies (with his lift gate and pallet jack) then I can roll them up the driveway into the garage.
How realistic is this?
When your crates arrived what did it take to get them from the truck to your building area?
Any thoughts would be appreciated...
