Shipping Cost from Maputo to Accra

While some opt to move their pianos themselves or hire general moving companies to cut costs, this route often leads to major frustrations and damages that actually cost more in the long run. Professional piano movers are worth investing in for the highest level of care, expertise, and stress-free service.

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.

To move a piano long distance, hire specialized piano movers for safety and expertise, or if DIY, prepare thoroughly: secure the keyboard, wrap the entire piano in blankets/plastic, use a heavy-duty dolly / skid board, use straps for lifting and securing in a truck, and ensure it's level and tightly strapped in the moving vehicle, using professionals for disassembly/reassembly and tricky spots like stairs.
