I used to deliver gun safes to Clemmer's Moving and Storage in Telford, PA for them to make final delivery. They told me that that the charge for final delivery was about $65.00, which I think is very reasonable (if it's the correct price). It's easy enough to call them and ask. Also, I would expect most moving and storage companies are able to perform that service. No pile of friends, no fighting with the wrong kind of hand truck, no rigging some kind of plywood ramp, etc.

How small is small? I've easily moved my 23 gun Liberty gun safe with 2 guys total, a pickup truck, and a refridg. dolly that you can rent from uhaul. If steps are involved you may want a third guy. My safe is around 400lbs.

It's a small safe but the seller claims it's about 2000lbs. http://www.ebay.com/itm/232356005979?ul_noapp=true

Yeah you're probably right then to look for some professional help. A mover once told me that small, yet heavy, safes are a bitch compared to a traditional gun safe. I have no help to offer in regards to a particular company in your area, but I imagine most reputable movers would be able to take the job. Some may charge more if it really is that heavy.

Those safe tend to be heavy. One thing to be aware of if you wind up moving it yourself, a lot of time the doors are designed to be removable when you open it to a certain point allowing you to split the weight when moving
