In today's labor market your LUCKY to find someone to move a safe. That said, you payed the man so move on.
You Ever Had A Gun Safe Delivered???
- Thread starter AC Man
- Start date
Seems like a chunk of change, but it's not an easy job, and it's done and everyone is safe (pardon the pun… 
.)
My first safe was a fairly small one, moved it myself, no problems. Second safe was a fairly large Liberty. Me and a couple of my buddies picked it up from the store and brought it to my house in a trailer behind my truck. We had to bring it down around to the back of my house into my walkout basement. I still joke with them that there were 3 of us doing a 5 guy job… Ha!
When I moved out of state a few years ago I was so stressed out with having to move my guns, ammo and safes. It all worked out, mover was a good help, but I don't know if I've got that in me to do it again. Safes had to go in the basement, and the guys were very capable, but I did contract with a separate safe mover to handle getting the safes in the house into the basement. I had all the guns removed, so it was just moving the empty containers. Having the right equipment goes a long way towards good results! I think I paid a few hundred ($350?) for that part of the job. Well worth it.

When I moved from LA I gave a friends widow my 1100 lb safe. Called a local company they charged 275 or so to move it 50 miles and set it up for her. I was shocked it was so cheap. Moved to a out in the country house 50 miles west of Forty Worth. Needed a good safe , bought a American Security it was the perfect size to fit the spot I had and matched the house 3800 lbs+ empty. I kinda choked and asked the delivery cost. Guy said only one outfit to deliver for them, that safe and the distance it was 800. I thought that was fine considering the weight and distance.
In some if not most cases the safe door can be removed. The door itself can be challenging but it can make moving the safe a lot easier.
