Piano Shipping Cost from Ouagadougou to Amsterdam

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.

While some opt to move their pianos themselves or hire general moving companies to cut costs, this route often leads to major frustrations and damages that actually cost more in the long run. Professional piano movers are worth investing in for the highest level of care, expertise, and stress-free service.

Moving a piano 500 miles typically costs between $700 and $2,500+, depending heavily on the piano type (upright vs. grand), size, weight, accessibility at pickup/delivery (stairs add significant cost), and whether it needs specialized crating or climate control, with prices often calculated at $2.50 to $10 per mile plus fees. A basic upright might be on the lower end, while a large concert grand requiring crating and special handling will be much more expensive.
