Piano Shipping Cost from Los Angeles, California to Alaska

How much does it cost to move to Alaska from California? The cost varies depending on transportation methods. A full-service moving company can cost between $5,000 and $15,000. DIY moves with rental trucks or shipping containers may be cheaper but require more effort.

Moving a piano costs roughly $200 to $400 for local moves and $1,000 to $2,000 for long-distance moves, with national averages around $400, but prices vary significantly based on the piano's size (upright vs. grand), distance, stairs/obstacles, and mover expertise, potentially ranging from $150 to over $3,000 for complex relocations. Expect extra fees for stairs (around $5-$10 per step) or specialized equipment.

Recommended Shipping Method We always recommend hiring professional movers to transport your piano. For short-distance moves, look for a local piano mover in your city. Upright pianos are always shipped using premium White Glove service.
