Using an LTL (less than truckload) carrier...meaning using a "commercial" 40' or larger truck that just pulls up to a loading dock...where you/someone drives a forklift onto the truck and gets your product is 5-10 times cheaper than FedEx/UPS delivering something this industrial to your home.

When I bought my lift, I just had it shipped to the local freight terminal. I used Yellow freight because we had a corporate discount but so do most of the lift manufacturers. The Yellow terminal gave me a call when it arrived and I had one of the local tow service Co's with a roll-back truck pick it up and deposit it on my driveway. He use his winch, tipped the bed, and let it slide down the bed, and then with the bed still inclined, just inched away until it slid gently down the ramp onto the ground. For me, it was $350 for the freight (about 500 miles) and $69 for the roll back service. Of course, freight will vary base on distance.

High lifting the door was another story.
