Piano Shipping Cost from Abuja to Nur-Sultan

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.

Transporting a piano requires careful preparation, specialized equipment (dollies, straps, blankets), and multiple strong people to lift and maneuver it, especially on stairs, using techniques like tilting for uprights or using a skid board for grands, and always securing it tightly in the truck to prevent shifting, with professional movers recommended for stairs or valuable instruments.

Professional movers have thick blankets that protect these finishes. They have straps that are cinched snugly over these pads to protect any movement of the piano against any sharp surface.
