Shipping Cost from Lagos to Osaka

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.

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.

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.
