You need a truck. No avoiding that. Go down to the terminal with a friend or 2 to help with unloading it. Which I am assuming has a loading dock.

DON'T SIGN ANYTHING YET! Look at it. Inspect it for cracked oil pan, or anything broken during shipping.

After everything clears out, they should be able to load it onto your truck with their forklift. Have a friend ride in the back if you can, drive carefully and avoid speeding up or slowing down really fast.

You also need an engine hoist to hoist it off of the truck. Good luck.

Also on an unrelated note, are you filipino? If so , Pinoy Power! If not then disregard previous statement hah

U haul sounds cheaper, but I wouldn't know how you would get it down from the U haul. Its a whole clip... I don't think you can use an engine hoist.

I backed the truck into my driveway, then pulled down that little ramp and used a land rover to pull the pallet out from the truck. I dunno if that ramp can hold a whole clip though.
