Shipping Cost from Cartagena to Tirana

Upright Piano Shipping Costs Upright pianos, being more compact, cost less to ship internationally. 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.

Moving a piano 500 miles typically costs between $700 and $2,500+, depending heavily on the piano type (upright vs. grand), size, weight, accessibility at pickup/delivery (stairs add significant cost), and whether it needs specialized crating or climate control, with prices often calculated at $2.50 to $10 per mile plus fees. A basic upright might be on the lower end, while a large concert grand requiring crating and special handling will be much more expensive.

Hiring professional piano movers is always recommended. Professional piano movers will have the experience and expertise to safely pack and move your piano. For short-distance moves, look for a local piano mover in your city. For long-distance moves, White Glove shipping is the safest option.
