Shipping Cost from Lusaka to La Paz

Lifting such a monstrous piece of equipment is back-breaking work, even if you're only lifting it onto a dolly. Many times, confident homeowners attempt to lift a piano and not only damage the instrument but injure themselves. Next time, err on the side of caution: let professionals handle the heavy lifting instead.

Moving distance If you're wondering how much it costs to move a piano interstate, prepare to spend around $300 to $1500. Additionally, the average cost to move an upright piano or spinet piano costs $150 to $300 to move locally, and $500 to $800 for a long-distance job.

Shipping a piano across the country typically costs $1,200 to $4,500 for an upright or baby grand, but can range from $500 for shorter long-distance upright moves to over $2,000 for larger grand pianos, with big factors being distance, piano type (upright vs. grand), stairs, and special handling needs like cranes or crating. Costs increase for larger instruments, longer distances (often charged per mile), and difficult access (stairs, tight corners).
