Scott,
If you are using a broker to help with the shipping and customs clearances they will do all the work for you. They can arrange the movement of the item from the port to your house, and will include lift gate service if you request it. Movement of the crate within the Port of Seattle to the truck is handled by the Port staff. Your broker will arrange all that for you along with sheperding the crate through Customs and Agriculture, paying the fees, filing the appropriate clearances, etc.
If you have a driveway or sidewalk to where it will be delivered you might also ask for a palette jack or other type of lift to get it to where you want it. They are unlikely to arrange to bring it actually into your home or shop unless you are willing to pay for that. More likely you are looking for a bunch of burley people to do that for you. For example. My trucker brought the CNC and laser to the house with a lift gate and a jack and we were able to unload it and move it down the drive to the entrance to the garage. From there it was up to me. The CNC was the hard one and I ended up using a wheeled engine hoist to lift it off the palette and move it and lift it up to the table where it would sit. At 700lbs it was a heavy sucker to move and lift up that high onto the table. The laser I simply made a ramp for to get it off the palette and then was able to roll it on its wheels into the shop. So in my case I was able to do all this by myself.
Hope that helps!
