Shipping Cost from Seoul to Maputo

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. However, costs fluctuate significantly based on the specific destination and chosen shipping method.

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.

A piano dolly is better for minor repositioning (like cleaning) or very short, flat moves if you have strong helpers and the right equipment, but hiring professional piano movers is almost always superior for significant moves (stairs, long distances, valuable pianos) due to their specialized skills, equipment (dollies, straps, blankets, ramps), and experience in preventing catastrophic damage to the piano and your home. DIY piano moves risk costly repairs or total loss, outweighing the upfront cost savings of movers.
