So my long-anticipated Quickbuild wings and fuse have arrived from the Phillipines, and will be coming out my way in the next couple weeks. Any good advice for manipulating the up to 700# crates off a truck and into a garage?

Request a lift gate. Rent a fork lift.
If you have smooth areas like a garage or hangar floors, lengths of 2"
schedule 40 PVC pipe (the thick stuff, I do get them backwards some
times) so you can roll to their final destination will work. Just
remember to roll 'sideways' since there are 2X4s under the crate so a
fork lift can get under them. I used the PVC pipe and furniture dolly's
from Harbor freight for mine.

AMF delivered mine last month. The local rep said they would "put the crates on the ground" for me. A large flat bed truck arrived with a heavy duty fork lift on the back. Perhaps your carrier will do something similar.

One caveat... Are you using Tony Partain, or somebody like him that personally delivers it? The reason I ask is that Van discounted the shipping by $400 each time (I did two different orders) if Tony delivered them. That amounted to no crates for the finished wings, and the actual fuselage. The canopy and windshield also came uncrated. It actually made it a little easier. I had already built a wing stand, so we put them straight into the stand. The loose parts all went on tables or the ground. There were still several crates with parts on each delivery.
The suggestion that you get helpers is a good idea.

Steve,
I see by your area code that you are in the SF bay area. Have you considered flying to Portland (commercial), renting a U haul, and driving back? This is or at least was the least expensive option. I did it all in one long day (arrived home at 1 am). No crating charge, Vans will load tbe U haul for you, get friends to help unload. Have wing stands ready. One way drop off charge is less expensive if you return the truck to an east bay location as opposed to San Francisco.

I went to Harbor Frieght and got one each of their large and small moving dollies. I then joined them together about three feet apart with 2 2x2 rails.

The contraption made for a nice crate dolly and later by adding styrofoam blocks as needed to the small dolly, a great fuselage dolly. It was moveable around the shop and a nice height for wiring, interior painting, etc

When I recently moved I needed to move a large gun safe. It is a 7' tall and 4' wide by 4' deep fire rated safe. Heavy doesn't begin to describe it. I went to Lowes and purchased the largest casters they had. (5 inch locking Waxman rubber swivel casters)

http://m.lowes.com/pd/Waxman-5-in-Rubber-Swivel-Caster/3026963

I made a 2x4 frame that the gun safe fit onto and attached the casters at the corners and the middle. It worked well and I was able to move it around on a flat surface by myself.

This cheap option may work well for you.

Justin
