This is a lot more replies than I had expected -- one never knows. All very helpful. Thanks everyone.
A couple of comments. I did call Grizzly and they said that it is OK to lay the box on its side. As a couple of people noted, it apparently even ships on its side. I live in a rowhouse in a metro area, so its not quite suburban and certainly not country. (For example, Fedex and UPS have standing orders from me (which they sometimes forget) to leave nothing at the door if no one is here.) OTOH, many of the suggestions made me think back to the suburban house I grew up in, with my Dad's garage workshop right at driveway level -- drive up and drop.
I am hopeful that the driver will provide at least some basic help, and as noted by many, 198# is rather manageable. But I always like to be prepared in case, for whatever reason, he is content to do nothing. My experience, to date, even with companies that say "curb-side only" is that the drivers do help. I got one delivery that was about 3K pounds in 70 pound packages and unexpectedly the driver took one for about everyone I took - including
6 steps up to the front porch. Tools go up just two steps from the sidewalk and then down 7 to the basement. Having a hand truck with large air-filled tires - versus the small hard wheels - helps a lot both up and down.
Again, thanks for all of the observations and anecdotes. And for those of you who wrestled the tools with your wife's help, I am especially impressed. -- Igor
