Piano Shipping Cost from Warsaw to Nur-Sultan

A piano dolly is essential for moving an upright piano short distances yourself, but hiring professional piano movers is almost always better for safety (yours and the piano's), preventing costly damage, and handling complex moves (like grands or stairs), as they have specialized equipment (skid boards, straps, trucks) and expertise that a standard dolly can't replace for valuable instruments. While a dolly saves money upfront, the potential costs of injury or a ruined piano far outweigh the expense of professionals.

Long-distance moves are typically charged per mile, with rates varying based on the total mileage, the size of the piano, and whether specialized transport, like climate-controlled trucks, is required. Because of these variations, long-distance moves can cost anywhere between $500 and $2,5000.

Cover the piano with moving blankets secured with packing tape or lifting straps. Wrap all legs and pedals separately with moving blankets and tape. You can load the legs and pedals on a hand truck to make moving easier and more efficient.
