Q:How much does it cost to ship an upright piano across the world?
Upright Piano Shipping Costs 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. However, costs fluctuate significantly based on the specific destination and chosen shipping method.
Q:Is a piano dolly better than hiring movers?
A piano dolly is cheaper for very simple, short moves on flat ground with helpers, but hiring professional piano movers is vastly better and safer for valuable, delicate pianos, especially if stairs, tight corners, or long distances are involved, because professionals have the specialized equipment (like skid boards, straps, dollies) and expertise to prevent costly damage and injury, making them worth the investment for peace of mind. DIY with a dolly risks significant structural damage, rendering the piano untunable.
Q:What is the best way to transport a piano?
Right there for you. I'm going to put my foot. Underneath the pad. So I can scoot it under as I lift i'm going to be lifting the end here.
