Piano Shipping Cost from New York, New York to Tacoma, Washington

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.

Moving from New York City to Seattle typically ranges from $3,900 to $11,200, depending on factors like apartment size, packing services, and delivery speed. For example, a one-bedroom apartment move can cost between $2,900 and $4,500, while a two- to three-bedroom home may range from $5,600 to $9,500.

Call your local piano store and see who they recommend to move it, as their piano mover may be cheaper than the house movers. I actually found this to be true when I moved my piano. Also, check with your local thrift stores that deal with large furniture, such as the Restore.
