Shipping Cost from New Delhi to Gresham, Oregon

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.

A piano dolly is essential for moving an upright piano short distances yourself, but hiring professional piano movers is almost always better for safety (yours and the piano's), preventing costly damage, and handling complex moves (like grands or stairs), as they have specialized equipment (skid boards, straps, trucks) and expertise that a standard dolly can't replace for valuable instruments. While a dolly saves money upfront, the potential costs of injury or a ruined piano far outweigh the expense of professionals.

The right time of year to move your piano depends on where you live. In general, cooler temperatures are best for moving a piano since extreme heat or cold can cause damage to the instrument.
