Piano Shipping Cost from Medford, Oregon to San Jose, California

A piano dolly helps with short, flat moves but hiring professional piano movers is almost always better for safety, preventing costly damage (like a cracked soundboard or ruined floors), and handling stairs/tight spots, as they have specialized equipment, experience, and insurance for these heavy, delicate instruments. While a dolly saves money upfront, the risk of injury or significant repair costs usually outweighs the cost of professionals, especially for valuable or grand pianos.

Moving an upright piano typically involves costs ranging from £75 to £650, depending on the distance and any additional services required. For local moves, you might expect to pay between £75 and £150, while long-distance relocations may cost £150 to £300.

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.
