Piano Shipping Cost from Helsinki to Shenzhen

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.

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.

Moving a 500lb piano safely requires proper tools (heavy-duty dolly, straps, blankets), helpers, and technique (lift with legs, keep it level, protect floors/keys) to avoid injury and damage, using ramps for stairs and securing it tightly in the truck to prevent shifting. This is a tough job; hiring professionals is often safest, but if DIYing, prepare thoroughly and have enough strong hands.
