Shipping Cost from Budapest to Ulaanbaatar

The average piano moving cost is about $200 – $400 for local moves and $1,000 – $2,000 for long-distance moves. The cost to move a piano depends on several factors such as the type and size of the musical instrument, the move distance, and the specifics of the pickup and delivery locations.

On average, you'll pay between $2,000 to $5,000 for overseas shipping of an upright piano. This price typically includes basic packing, transportation, and standard insurance. However, costs fluctuate significantly based on the specific destination and chosen shipping method.

A piano dolly helps with short, flat moves but hiring professional piano movers is almost always better for safety, preventing costly damage (like a cracked soundboard or ruined floors), and handling stairs/tight spots, as they have specialized equipment, experience, and insurance for these heavy, delicate instruments. While a dolly saves money upfront, the risk of injury or significant repair costs usually outweighs the cost of professionals, especially for valuable or grand pianos.
