Shipping Cost from Kampala to Ashgabat

Moving a piano costs roughly $150-$650 locally and $500-$2,500+ for long distances, depending heavily on the piano's type (grand is more), weight, distance, and obstacles like stairs, which add significant fees. Expect to pay more for larger pianos (concert grands) and complex moves involving many steps or tight spaces, potentially increasing costs to several thousand dollars, while simple upright moves are at the lower end.

Shipping a Piano Overseas by Sea Freight Sea freight is a more cost-effective option, particularly for larger pianos or commercial shipments. Although it takes longer than air freight, sea freight provides an economical way to move a piano overseas while still ensuring secure transport.

Baby grand pianos in the 500-800 pound range typically cost $2,000 to $4,500 for interstate piano shipping. Full-size grand pianos and concert grands weighing 800-1,200 pounds can run anywhere from $3,500 to $8,000 or more, especially when white glove service is required.
