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.

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.

What Bill wants is two SEPARATE boxes to be shipped to him,

his back.
Perhaps special arrangements can be made for Bill? My other
suggestion would be to have the package delivered to the front
door,
then remove each box individually and carry them separately
indoors.
