Shipping Cost from Kuwait City to Columbus, Ohio

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.

To move a piano long distance, hire professional piano movers for the safest, most reliable option, as they have specialized equipment and expertise. If DIY, prepare by locking the lid, wrapping it in blankets, securing it to a piano dolly/skid board, using lifting straps, and strapping it securely in a truck with a ramp, avoiding lifting by the legs.

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.
