Piano Shipping Cost from Lagos to Jeddah

Upright Piano Shipping Costs Upright pianos, being more compact, cost less to ship internationally. 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.

Transporting a piano requires careful preparation, the right equipment (dolly, blankets, straps), and help to lift and move it, typically by tilting it onto a four-wheel dolly, securing it, and rolling it onto a ramp into a truck, using leg power, not back, and then securing it for transit, with grand pianos often moved on their side. For a safe move, measure paths, protect the piano with blankets, use proper lifting techniques (knees bent), and secure it in the truck to prevent shifting.

Moving a piano is not a quick or simple task — it requires time, skill, and precision. Whether you own an upright or a grand piano, the process can take anywhere from a couple of hours to an entire day depending on the size, location, and distance of the move.
