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.

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.
