Piano Shipping Cost from Lenexa, Kansas to Mexico City

Moving a piano costs roughly $150–$650 locally and $500–$3,000+ long-distance, varying greatly by piano type (upright vs. grand), distance, stairs/obstacles, and equipment needed, with grand pianos and complex moves costing much more. Expect a baseline fee, plus extra charges for stairs (around $5–$10 per step), long distances (per mile rates), or specialized handling.

Lifting such a monstrous piece of equipment is back-breaking work, even if you're only lifting it onto a dolly. Many times, confident homeowners attempt to lift a piano and not only damage the instrument but injure themselves. Next time, err on the side of caution: let professionals handle the heavy lifting instead.

For an upright piano weighing 300-500 pounds, you can expect cross country piano movers to charge between $1,200 and $2,500 for a coast-to-coast move. Baby grand pianos in the 500-800 pound range typically cost $2,000 to $4,500 for interstate piano shipping.
