Piano Shipping Cost from Kuwait City 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.

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.

Piano mover costs vary widely, typically $200–$600 for local uprights, $400–$1,000+ for local grands, and $1,000–$2,500+ for long-distance moves, with bigger pianos (concert grands) and complex situations (stairs, crating, long distances) significantly increasing the price, potentially reaching thousands for international shipping. Key factors are piano type (upright vs. grand), distance, number of stairs, and special handling.
