Dumbbells have arrived

This afternoon UPS arrived with my Body Solid SDRS550 dumbbells. Due to the weight being 640 lbs / 290 kg the delivery options are limited. On ordering the following confirmation was received from Body Solid.

Thank you for your order. Because the item you ordered is large or heavy, it is being shipped via Freight carrier. Please be aware of the following Freight requirements for delivery. The delivering company is responsible to bring the equipment to the end of the truck only. It is your responsibility to unload the freight from the truck into your home or garage. Drivers do not assist with unpacking or setup. Some freight companies may offer an optional lift gate service to drop the items off on the curb/or inside your home, for an additional charge- call for details.  Packages may be taken apart in the truck to ease with unloading.

I was therefore pleasantly surprised to find the delivery lorry had a lift gate and the delivery driver wheeled the pallet out off the truck and into our garage. I had visions of having to carry the dumbbells out of the truck and into the house one by one!!!!

Initial impressions are very positive, quality seems good.
