Shipping Cost from Milan to Melbourne

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.

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.
