Piano Shipping Cost from Mexico City to Arvada, Colorado

Moving a piano costs about $400 on average. However, costs vary depending on several factors, such as cost per mile (the starting price is about $50), the type of piano (a grand piano is typically high-priced), height and weight, ease of access, and the need for disassembly and reassembly.

The right time of year to move your piano depends on where you live. In general, cooler temperatures are best for moving a piano since extreme heat or cold can cause damage to the instrument. For instance, if you live in a hot climate, you may want to consider moving your piano in the cooler months.

Moving an upright piano typically costs $150 to $600 for local moves (under 50 miles) and $500 to $2,500 for long-distance hauls, depending heavily on stairs, distance, and complexity, with factors like tight corners, steep driveways, or special handling adding to the total. Expect an extra $40-$100 per flight of stairs and potentially $40-$240 for difficult terrain.
