Shipping Cost from Melbourne to Sydney

Melbourne to Sydney: Costs and Considerations On average, Sydney removalists charge $154.78 per cubic meter, with the average job costing $1,855. A dedicated truck will get your stuff there in 1-2 days, backloading will take 2-4 days. Moving in Sydney can be tricky.

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.

A grand piano (weighing between 500 to 1,300 pounds) will cost substantially more to ship than an upright piano (typically weighing 300 to 900 pounds). For instance, shipping a piano internationally can cost up to $5,000, with costs varying based on the type and size of the piano.
