So you're gonna just lift it up from your trunk in a big box, manage opening the door(s) to the bank, stand in line for perhaps up to a few minutes and then plop it all down on the counter without breaking a sweat, huh?

I work out as well, but I'm not gonna carry in more than 2.5k (roughly 50 pounds) at a time, especially if I think there might be a line I have to wait in.
Oh come on... get a medium to large sized well made backpack (i.e. canvas, double stitched, etc), and one can do $7,500 without a problem. I do it all the time, and yes, I do lift it out of the trunk of my car... granted, I admit I do prefer to sit on the bumper, then hook the straps around my shoulders and then finally use my legs to lift it
