Shipping Cost from Kuwait City to Lusaka

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.

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.

Transporting a piano requires careful preparation, the right equipment (dolly, blankets, straps), and help to lift and move it, typically by tilting it onto a four-wheel dolly, securing it, and rolling it onto a ramp into a truck, using leg power, not back, and then securing it for transit, with grand pianos often moved on their side. For a safe move, measure paths, protect the piano with blankets, use proper lifting techniques (knees bent), and secure it in the truck to prevent shifting.
