So I have done this very thing. I bought a 24 gun safe that weighed about 400 lbs. it was still in the box and I was able to move by my self. I just kept flipping it up the 2 stairs to go in and then slid it into my basement on its side. It was a pain but I did it.

I moved a Liberty Fatboy jr with only the help of my two teenage boys..
used schedule 40 2" pvc cut into the width of the safe for roller's,
some scrap plywood to protect finish floors..
2x10's for ramps and a car jack for lifting to the angle to meet my porch deck.. ( my deck is about 2.5 higher than the bed of the truck )
set the lumber under the still boxed safe, set rollers between them..
one big push with my legs against the truck cab and my back to the safe and it landed on the deck, repeated the process to make it up and over the door threshold

Bought a big safe for my son. It cost $125.00 for movers to place it in his basement.

Refrigerators weigh around 300 pounds, give or take 100 pounds, depending on the model.
That is reasonable enough to not kill myself moving it. I am guessing I will still have to get it home myself though.

Gun friends, beer, pizza. Don't make it a suicide job.
Make sure it's off the floor. Couple of concrete blocks and some painted plywood. Don't set against an outside wall. Higher off the floor if you can.
Invest in a sump high water alarm.

I have a nice platform about 7 inches off the ground and an inside wall already marked out and ready to go. Going to bilt it right to the studs as well. The friends part may be a problem though....as many times as I have helped them move I am sure they will come up with some kind of excuse when its time to repay the favor.
