Shipping Cost from Niamey to Manama

Upright Piano Shipping Costs 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.

Moving a piano 20 miles locally generally costs between $100 and $300+, including a $50-$200 base fee plus $1.50-$3.00 per mile, but expect higher rates for grand pianos, stairs, or tight spots, potentially adding $40-$100+ for obstacles or specialized equipment, making the total range closer to $200-$700 for the whole job, notes this HomeAdvisor article, this Extra Space Storage article, and this HomeAdvisor article.

To move a piano long distance, hire professional piano movers for the safest, most reliable option, as they have specialized equipment and expertise. If DIY, prepare by locking the lid, wrapping it in blankets, securing it to a piano dolly/skid board, using lifting straps, and strapping it securely in a truck with a ramp, avoiding lifting by the legs.
