How much does piano moving cost in Saks?

A standalone piano move in Saks typically costs $632 to $2,765, depending on instrument type.
| Piano moving in Saks | Details |
|---|---|
| Saks movers offering this | 1 of 2 (50.0%) |
| National average | 72.52% |
| Top-rated Saks piano movers | Fortson Moving Systems, Changing Spaces Moving Inc |
| Upright piano | $632 to $1,185 |
| Baby grand piano | $948 to $1,975 |
| Grand piano | $1,422 to $2,765 |
Upright pianos weigh 400 to 800 lbs. Grand pianos exceed 1,200 lbs. Trained crews use piano boards, straps, and padded blankets to prevent structural damage that standard moving equipment cannot safely manage. Bundling a piano into a household move with full-service movers is usually cheaper than hiring a piano-only carrier.
