Piano Shipping Cost from Mexico City to Monterrey

Upright Piano Shipping Costs Upright pianos, being more compact, cost less to ship internationally. On average, you'll pay between $2,000 to $5,000 for overseas shipping of an upright piano. This price typically includes basic packing, transportation, and standard insurance.

To move a piano long distance, hire specialized piano movers for safety and expertise, or if DIY, prepare thoroughly: secure the keyboard, wrap the entire piano in blankets/plastic, use a heavy-duty dolly / skid board, use straps for lifting and securing in a truck, and ensure it's level and tightly strapped in the moving vehicle, using professionals for disassembly/reassembly and tricky spots like stairs.

The cost of moving to Mexico can range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of your move, where in Mexico you're moving to, and the shipping option you choose. As with other international moves, sea freight takes longer but is less expensive, while air freight offers fast but costly delivery.
