Piano Shipping Cost from Tunis to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Moving a piano costs roughly $150–$650 locally and $500–$3,000+ long-distance, varying greatly by piano type (upright vs. grand), distance, stairs/obstacles, and equipment needed, with grand pianos and complex moves costing much more. Expect a baseline fee, plus extra charges for stairs (around $5–$10 per step), long distances (per mile rates), or specialized handling.

Lifting such a monstrous piece of equipment is back-breaking work, even if you're only lifting it onto a dolly. Many times, confident homeowners attempt to lift a piano and not only damage the instrument but injure themselves. Next time, err on the side of caution: let professionals handle the heavy lifting instead.

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.
