Shipping Cost from Mumbai to Manchester

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.

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. However, costs fluctuate significantly based on the specific destination and chosen shipping method.

Piano transport costs within the UK typically range from £3.00 to £6.00 per mile. Short-distance moves (under 50 miles) usually cost £3.50–£6.00/mile, while longer-distance services generally fall around £3.00–£4.50/mile, with an average rate of about £4.00/mile.
