My dad and I went on a delivery yesterday afternoon. It was from about 1:30 to 3pm, so right in the heat of the day. I think the official temperature yesterday was 93 degrees, but it got hotter in a number of places. And it was very humid. The cabinets we delivered were basically 96″ tall by 24″ wide boxes with doors on the front.

The procedure was as follows: we had to carry them up about 10 stairs to get from the street to the front door. Then through the porch, the family room, and the dining room. Then we stood it on the floor and tipped it down so as to get it under a door way. Then we pushed it (while I held it tipped) through the door and partly through another door so we could tip it back up in a hallway. We then had to push the cabinet back down the hallway so we could tip it over again (in a different direction) to get it under the doorway leading to the stairs to the upper level where the cabinets had to go. Then we carried it up about 15 stairs to the upper level.

We did that with five separate cabinets each weighing about 60 lbs without doors. Plus we carried the shelves and doors up separately.

We both probably lost about 5 pounds of water-weight from sweating.
