[Elecraft] KPA1500

[Dave Hachadorian]

Signature is required on delivery, so you will have a strong 
delivery person facing you.  He or she will move it inside the 
front door for you, and then you can use Don Wilhelm's "invert 
the box technique."  That's what happened here.

I would think that for the cost of shipping two packages he could 
find some young lad that would be glad to move the two boxes from 
a single carton and transport them to his ham shack. Sounds like 
he is over complicating the issue. I also have a bad back but try 
to be resourceful to get something accomplished.

Or go to Walmart and buy a $30 hand truck.
