Piano Shipping Cost from Greensboro, North Carolina to London

A grand piano (weighing between 500 to 1,300 pounds) will cost substantially more to ship than an upright piano (typically weighing 300 to 900 pounds). For instance, shipping a piano internationally can cost up to $5,000, with costs varying based on the type and size of the piano.

Moving a piano costs roughly $150-$650 locally and $500-$2,500+ for long distances, depending heavily on the piano's type (grand is more), weight, distance, and obstacles like stairs, which add significant fees. Expect to pay more for larger pianos (concert grands) and complex moves involving many steps or tight spaces, potentially increasing costs to several thousand dollars, while simple upright moves are at the lower end.

The average cost of moving a piano ranges from £200 to £1,000, depending on the factors listed above. Upright pianos typically cost less to move than grand pianos, with average prices ranging from £200 to £500. Grand pianos can cost significantly more to move, with prices ranging from £500 to £1,000 or more.
