Piano Shipping Cost from La Paz to Monterrey

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.

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.

Should You Tip Piano Movers? Tipping piano movers typically ranges from $20–$40 per mover for standard moves ; complex staircases or tight spaces may warrant more. For long-distance piano moves, consider tipping $50–$100 per mover, reflecting the increased labor and travel time involved.
