Shipping Cost from Minnesota to Dhaka

Moving a piano costs around $200 to $1,000, with the average being about $400, but prices vary significantly based on distance, piano size (upright vs. grand), and move complexity (stairs, tight spaces). Local moves might range from $150–$350, while long-distance relocations can cost $1,000–$3,000 or more, with grand pianos and complex jobs always at the higher end.

Upright Piano Shipping Costs Upright pianos, being more compact, cost less to ship internationally. On average, you'll pay between $2,000 to $5,000 for overseas shipping of an upright piano. This price typically includes basic packing, transportation, and standard insurance.

Moving a 500 lb piano requires preparation, proper equipment (like a heavy-duty dolly, straps, and blankets), and at least two strong people, focusing on slow, controlled movements, protecting the finish with padding, securing the keyboard, and using lifting straps for leverage, especially when navigating stairs or tight corners where it might need to go on its side temporarily. Always use the piano's legs for tilting, lift with your legs, and never rely on the small built-in casters for transport.
