Shipping Cost from Melbourne to Tbilisi

Piano movers in Australia have broad charges that cater either for flat rates for local moves or an hourly rate for longer distances. Local Move (within 30km): $250 to $500 depending on access and size. Long-Distance Move (interstate or 100+ km): $3–$5 per km, which can bring the cost up to $700–$1,500 or more.

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.

Piano mover costs vary widely, typically $200–$600 for local uprights, $400–$1,000+ for local grands, and $1,000–$2,500+ for long-distance moves, with bigger pianos (concert grands) and complex situations (stairs, crating, long distances) significantly increasing the price, potentially reaching thousands for international shipping. Key factors are piano type (upright vs. grand), distance, number of stairs, and special handling.
