Shipping Cost from San Salvador to Colorado Springs, Colorado

Moving a piano costs about $400 on average. However, costs vary depending on several factors, such as cost per mile (the starting price is about $50), the type of piano (a grand piano is typically high-priced), height and weight, ease of access, and the need for disassembly and reassembly.

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.

Shipping a piano across the country typically costs $1,000 to $4,000+, depending heavily on the piano type (upright vs. grand), distance, accessibility (stairs add significant costs), and if you need specialized services like climate control, with uprights on the lower end and large grands on the higher end. Expect a range from roughly $500-$2,500 for uprights and $2,000-$4,500+ for baby grands and larger, with potential for much higher fees for concert grands or complex moves.
