HaHa, we did the same thing a year before we bought ours, so we knew how dang heavy they were.
When we purchased ours the store also wanted us to remove 2 whole sections of the fence to bring it in the "easy way".
Hubby nixed that right there, we had just finished the fence one year prior and it was a brutal job because of the lot.
He pulled his cell phone out and ordered up a massive crane. They went right over the top of the house and ever so gently put it right on the deck.
When I went to pay the guy he said the store phoned other customers awaiting delivery and 3 more agreed to go in...only ended up costing me about 50 bucks or so.
Best money I ever spent (other than the Hot Tub itself and the used volvo 760 turbo intercooler i had back oh late 80's early 90's....
...still miss that car)
Side benefit - the crane with the flying hot tub without a doubt convinced the neighbours that we were truly nuts....haven't had to deal with neighbour zuccini's on the steps for 2 years now.
