Shipping Cost from Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky to Mexico City

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.

The cost of moving to Mexico can range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of your move, where in Mexico you're moving to, and the shipping option you choose. As with other international moves, sea freight takes longer but is less expensive, while air freight offers fast but costly delivery.

Call your local piano store and see who they recommend to move it, as their piano mover may be cheaper than the house movers. I actually found this to be true when I moved my piano. Also, check with your local thrift stores that deal with large furniture, such as the Restore.
