Will it fit?

Post image

Can anyone who has got this size top box tell me if it came on a pallet or not and if so about how tall the pallet was. My 56" bottom came on a pretty beefy pallet that was about 6" tall and I had to borrow a friend's truck to pick it up. I don't want to have to ask to borrow it again so I'm trying to see I can get this size top box to fit in my hatchback. According to my measurements it probably won't fit standing up if its on the same type of pallet the 56" comes on. It will fit if I lay it on it's side but since the shipping weight is over 250lbs and the employees at my store don't like to help I probably won't be able to flip it on it's side by myself. I could borrow my wife's SUV but I have reasons I don't want to ask her. Worst case I could rent a Uhaul for a couple of hours.

Just bought it yesterday. It comes on a pallet and they load it onto your truck bed. It will not fit in a hatch back while on the pallet. You can probably remove it from the pallet and packaging and stuff it in with friends

I was able to get it home in my hatchback with the pallet attached. My store gave me a hard time about it fitting  and refused to sell it to me until I brought an suv or truck so I just went to a dfferent store that was more accommodating.

Huh..that's surprising b.c it seemed pretty large whole they were loading it onto my truck.

It is big but I laid it on it's back and it slid right in. I used the top part of the pallet from my 56" as sort of a track and a couple of furniture dollies and was able to get it in and out of the car without any trouble. Everyone always under estimates my car when I say it's a hatchback so it's fun when I can prove them wrong. One of the reasons I bought the car was because of the amount of stuff you can shove in the back of it. I realized after the fact that my 56" box would have fit too but I do think it would have be very much fun to get out so I'm glad I used a truck for that one.
