Shipping Cost from Tirana to Dublin

Piano moving costs typically range from $200-$400 for local uprights, $400-$900 for local grands, and $1,000-$2,000+ for long-distance moves, depending heavily on the piano type, distance, stairs (+$5-$10 per step), and complex access, with specialized movers adding significant value for delicate instruments.

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.

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.
