Piano Shipping Cost from Panama City to Denver, Colorado

When relocating from Florida to Colorado, expect professional movers to cost around $2,771 to $6,234, roughly $3,118 for a container move, and close to $1,813 for a rental truck. *Based on a 2–3 bedroom home and a five–16 day delivery estimate. Final cost and timing depend on home size, distance, and season.

A piano dolly is essential for moving an upright piano yourself, but hiring professional piano movers is almost always better and safer, especially for valuable instruments, because pros use specialized equipment (dollies, ramps, straps, blankets) and have the training to handle the extreme weight (hundreds to over a thousand pounds) and awkward shape, preventing costly damage and serious injury, which can outweigh the cost of movers. A dolly alone isn't enough; you need strong people, a truck with a ramp, padding, and expertise to avoid accidents.

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.
