I share the same experience as Kenneth. I have received a 600 lb table
saw,
600 lb planer, 450 lb, jointer. and several lighter items even without
being
at home when the deliveries were done. In some cases, I got the service
even without paying the additional lift gate fee ($75 - $125). At the
end,
I have been happy with the services received from the shipping companies.
On other hand, it has been unnecessary difficult to arrange the delivery
with Grizzly. The other companies (Wilkes) have been more flexible in the
shipping arrangements.

Although the bandsaw is reasonable light (200 lb), you should be careful
not to damage it during the transportation. Most bandsaws are
preassembled
and should be delivered in standing position - not laying flat on the
floor.

If he's getting the G0555, it's well packed, and on it's side is fine. IIRC,
when I got mine in Williamsport, it was already laying on it's side when I
backed into the warehouse to get it. They picked it up w/fork lift, we slid
it off the forks into my P/U and it traveled 250+mi. on it's side, no
problem.
