Piano Shipping Cost from Douala to Bogota

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.

Piano mover costs typically range from $200–$400 for local uprights and $1,000–$2,000 for long-distance, but prices vary significantly by distance, piano type (grands cost more), stairs/obstacles (add $5-$10 per step), special equipment, and insurance, with some basic moves starting at $150 and complex moves exceeding $5,000, notes. Expect additional fees for difficult terrain, narrow spaces, or rush jobs, and factor in post-move tuning ($125-$225).

Wrap the Piano in Blankets. Make sure that every part of the piano is wrapped and there are no parts that are exposed. Secure the Piano to the Side of the Truck. Don't let the piano slide around the truck. Secure it to the side of the truck using straps or another method that will ensure it doesn't move.
