Piano Shipping Cost from Los Angeles, California to Scottsdale, Arizona

Moving a piano costs around $200 to $1,000, with the average being about $400, but prices vary significantly based on distance, piano size (upright vs. grand), and move complexity (stairs, tight spaces). Local moves might range from $150–$350, while long-distance relocations can cost $1,000–$3,000 or more, with grand pianos and complex jobs always at the higher end.

When relocating from California to Arizona, expect professional movers to cost around $2,071 to $5,213, roughly $1,821 for a container move, and close to $825 for a rental truck. *Based on a 2–3 bedroom home and a one–six day delivery estimate. Final cost and timing depend on home size, distance, and season.

Wrap the Piano in Blankets. Make sure that every part of the piano is wrapped and there are no parts that are exposed. Secure the Piano to the Side of the Truck. Don't let the piano slide around the truck. Secure it to the side of the truck using straps or another method that will ensure it doesn't move.
