Shipping Cost from Auckland to Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky

Moving a piano costs about $400 on average. However, costs vary depending on several factors, such as cost per mile (the starting price is about $50), the type of piano (a grand piano is typically high-priced), height and weight, ease of access, and the need for disassembly and reassembly.

Moving an upright piano typically costs $150 to $650 for local moves (under 50 miles, often with stairs) and $500 to $2,500 for long-distance moves, depending heavily on distance, stair access, complexity, and mover expertise, with extra charges for difficult terrain or high-value insurance. Expect $200-$350 for simple local moves and potentially much more if stairs, tight turns, or extensive travel are involved.

No matter the season, there are ideal conditions for moving a piano. Aim to schedule your move when: Temperatures are steady between 68–72°F (20–22°C)
