Piano Shipping Cost from Djibouti to Jacksonville, Florida

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.

Moving an upright piano typically costs $150 to $600 for local moves (under 50 miles) and $500 to $2,500 for long-distance hauls, depending heavily on stairs, distance, and complexity, with factors like tight corners, steep driveways, or special handling adding to the total. Expect an extra $40-$100 per flight of stairs and potentially $40-$240 for difficult terrain.

The cheapest days to move are typically weekdays, specifically Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, because demand is lower than on busy weekends, leading to better rates and more mover availability. For maximum savings, aim for the off-season (late fall/winter, Sept-April), avoid the beginning/end of the month, and book mid-month to get the best prices and smoother service.
