Dave,
Welcome to the many layers of the shipping industry. There are charges for every thing. They even charge the trucking fee when the container is removed from the stack and delivered to the warehouse for uncrating. Then the charge to uncrate it. And oh yes the storage fees that pile up while you are waiting for all these wonderful things to transpire. Fortunate for you, its being delivered to your home. I hope you have a warehouse handy to get it out of the container. Either that or your trucker better have a big hydraulic gate to get it to ground level!!!! Hope you have something to roll that big box around on. If the truck doesnot fit the warehouse floor properly you will need a trailer with ramps to make the offload as the 4 inch ground clearance ( assuming yours came with wheels and tires ) won't clear the metal ramp that they use to offload. It took us an hour to unload mine from its container.
But remember, the fun begins once you get it home.
