Piano Shipping Cost from San Francisco, California to Memphis, Tennessee

When moving from California to Tennessee, you'll likely pay between $3,222–$7,126 with professional movers, roughly $3,237 for a moving container, and about $1,961 for a rental truck. *Estimates reflect a 2–3 bedroom move and a six–17 day delivery window.

Moving a piano costs around $200 to $1,000, with the average being about $400, but prices vary significantly based on distance, piano size (upright vs. grand), and move complexity (stairs, tight spaces). Local moves might range from $150–$350, while long-distance relocations can cost $1,000–$3,000 or more, with grand pianos and complex jobs always at the higher end.

Wrap the Piano in Blankets. Make sure that every part of the piano is wrapped and there are no parts that are exposed. Secure the Piano to the Side of the Truck. Don't let the piano slide around the truck. Secure it to the side of the truck using straps or another method that will ensure it doesn't move.
