Question 1

How much on average does it cost to move a piano?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Is a piano dolly better than hiring movers?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

How much does a 50 lb package cost to ship?

Accepted Answer

Shipping a 50 lb box generally costs $75 to over $120 for ground services, with carriers like FedEx Ground and UPS Ground often being cheaper than USPS Ground Advantage for heavy items, though prices vary significantly by distance, speed, and if you use discount platforms. For single boxes, services like FedEx Ground might be around $75-$80, while UPS Ground could be $80-$90, and USPS Ground Advantage might be higher, depending on the zone, but discounts can lower these significantly.
