Piano Shipping Cost from Abuja to Brasilia

Moving a piano costs about $400 on average. However, costs vary depending on several factors, such as cost per mile (the starting price is about $50), the type of piano (a grand piano is typically high-priced), height and weight, ease of access, and the need for disassembly and reassembly.

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 500 lb piano requires multiple strong helpers, proper equipment ( piano dolly, straps, moving blankets ), careful planning to protect the piano and your home (measure doorways, pad floors), and a specific technique: tilt, slide a dolly or skid board underneath, secure with straps, lift with your legs, and move slowly, keeping the keyboard lid closed and secured. Never rely on the piano's small built-in casters for long moves or stairs, and always use proper lifting form to avoid injury and damage.
