The scope, in a very nice metal case, all in one box, was HEAVY!! The UPS fella had little trouble with mine when it came (he was maybe 35, husky, tall, and had a very nice disposition). I hope you have had many great moments with yours. I am still awaiting a pier to go in my NexDome. The shipper sent two six months apart, both lost by UPS. A third should come to me in bit, but via another carrier.
Did you get a Sky Watcher 150ED? If so kudos! However, I'll be using mine for eyepiece and portable astro in the future as i recently acquired a Sky Watcher 150mm F4 Newt (Quattro) with ZWO imager for the self-built observatory. (You will see the "Penty" observatory in future John Day astro-vids along with mucho REVOLUTION II real-time imagery.) While awaiting "El Quattro" in Tucson, been using a 2000 era ST80 on a more portable EQ6R Pro mount for backyard / poor sky real time imaging. Here's a link to that setup: ruclips.net/video/14erRbr7Sic/видео.html with images of M31, 32 and 110...
Thank You Slap, there are lots of developments before you -- including building a small backyard observatory which made it possible to get lot and lots of views!

Very nice setup!

Ah the excitement of getting a new telescope 🔭
Always wanted a fastish, six-inch semi-apochromat. Add the imaging system and you end up seeing 16.5 magnitude, billion light-year distant galaxies!
I never seen a bigger 2 year old on Christmas morning.
No quarrel here, been playing with that particular "toy" for five years now!
