In the future if you have this situation arise again, you might want arrange for help ahead of time. I'm sure you knew well before you get there that you won't be able to handle the delivery ( neither could I). I wouldn't have even attempted the delivery without making arrangements with someone to help. I would have let my management team know this before I left the building. As for the use a handtruck, that's not an option for a 150lb, 7 foot long package going up to the third floor. Not only for the safety factor but also the damage it may cause to the stairs while trying to pull it up or losing you grip. You don't even want to go there. So if you show up for a delivery like this and have arranged for help, the customer gets their package without incidence and you don't get injured.
