Piano Shipping Cost from Bangkok to NDjamena

For an upright piano weighing 300-500 pounds, you can expect cross country piano movers to charge between $1,200 and $2,500 for a coast-to-coast move. Baby grand pianos in the 500-800 pound range typically cost $2,000 to $4,500 for interstate piano shipping.

Moving a piano 500 miles typically costs between $700 and $2,500+, depending heavily on the piano type (upright vs. grand), size, weight, accessibility at pickup/delivery (stairs add significant cost), and whether it needs specialized crating or climate control, with prices often calculated at $2.50 to $10 per mile plus fees. A basic upright might be on the lower end, while a large concert grand requiring crating and special handling will be much more expensive.

No matter the season, there are ideal conditions for moving a piano. Aim to schedule your move when: Temperatures are steady between 68–72°F (20–22°C)
