10# if done alone ok? Just shop smaller items. One thing I have is a
roller cart.

That one is a little pricy but has a long term value you may need. May
not last under daily use but handles a few stairs.

May be a better bet. You tuck the items in it and drag them. Longer
lasting looking than above but not designed for stairs.

If you can lift the 10# item into it and out again, this will work for
'can't carry it a distance'.

Seems to help?
