Default Buying a Safe

I am thinking of purchasing a home safe. Does anyone have input? Brand, size, retailer?

How might I transport a safe to my house, and how might I get it into position in the house?

We bought one a few years ago. It is about 2 1/2 ' high and wide. Paid about $89.00 in Costco

We bought ours from Office Max for about $400. They delivered it as it is very heavy. Fire resistance time was the important thing to me. I think this one is good for about 2 hours, but not sure. We are not at home so I can't look it up, but it is about the same size as Shireevee's. We can move it with, I think you call it, a dolly.

I tried to edit the cost of the safe to between $200-$350, but I think something is wrong with the edit. Instead of save, my choices were vote, advanced and something else.

Lowe's has them in a variety of sizes - from about a one foot cube all the way up to gun safes. They will deliver it to your garage, then it is up to you to move it where you want it located. Home Depot may have them as well.

Thanks for the ideas. I am going to begin my local search for a safe tommorrow.
