No special arrangements should be necessary.
When the large box is delivered, he can open it (without any need to 
lift it), and remove the two boxes one at a time.

If he cannot easily remove the two boxes from the larger one because it 
is a tight fit, it is easy to bend one flap down and roll the box over 
that flap and over again so the box is sitting on its open end.  Then it 
is easy to lift the outer box off with no struggle.
The way the gear is packaged, it will survive that "rolling over" with 
no harm at all.

I do that regularly at trade shows for the K3, and more recently the 
KPA1500 because it is difficult to lift the units vertically out of the 
box due to the tight fit and the resistance of the foam shipping 
material to the sides of the box.  Much easier to roll it over and lift 
off the box.
