"They were excellent. They carefully moved and wrapped all of my items making sure that nothing was lost or damaged in the move. They showed up exactly when they said they would and moved everything really fast. They were kind and courteous with excellent customer service skills. I would highly reccomend this company.??"

"I recently move with Qshark. I move my 3 bedroom apartment. I had a great experience the crew was efficient and fast. They arrive on time. They call me 30 minutes before arriving as promise.They help me pack my household goods . I was so nervous it was my first time moving but it was a very smooth and stress free move. The crew was very professional and polite. I will recommend them to my family and friends. Thank you Qshark !!"

"I had originally wanted this company to pack and move me -- it ended up that they could not actually moe me the day I needed it done. I hired another, actually more reliable set of movers (from the internet). Princess Packers packed things -- there were very fragile things I told them not to wrap -- but they did anyway -- okay. Many broken things were thrown away. Final analysis -- too expensive for a questionable outcome."

"G.A.M.E Inc, is a professional , top notch and out standing customer service. I recently purchased a rental property in Henderson, Nevada. My move was from Southern California to Nevada. I contacted G.A.M.E Inc and informed of my plan and my location for moving my show fully furnished warehouse and provided detail to the move from warehouse to new home purchase. G. A.M.E Inc went over and beyond. From initial quote, theyâ re follow up, invoice, details and insurance on move, date time and set up. I couldnâ t have asked for a better and secure moving company. I met with the owners and they were absolutely a great team. They took inventory, wrapped the furniture, secured the furniture with exceptional communication throughout the process. I would recommend to anyone. They are also licensed and serve military communities. Absolutely recommended!!!!"

Piano Moving FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to hire professional movers is approximately $1,700, but the total price can range from as low as $920 to over $12,000 depending on the move's complexity. For local moves, typically under 100 miles, costs generally fall between $920 and $2,530. Long-distance moves are more expensive, with prices ranging from $2,700 to $10,000 or more.

Several key factors influence the final cost:

  • Distance and Home Size: The mileage of the move and the size of your home.

  • Number of Movers: Hourly rates can range from $25 to $50 for one or two movers, increasing to $100 to $200 for a team of four or more.

  • Services: Additional services like packing, unpacking, and storage will add to the cost.

  • Specialty Items: Moving large or delicate items such as pianos, vehicles, or large aquariums incurs extra charges.

  • Timing and Access: The time of year, your specific moving date, and the ease of access to your home can affect rates.

Don’t forget to account for other potential costs like moving supplies and tipping your movers.

Moving companies offer a variety of service packages to suit different needs and budgets during the moving process. They typically provide loading, unloading, and transportation services, using specialized equipment to handle heavy and bulky items. Services can also include packing assistance, where professional packers securely pack belongings to ensure their safety during transportation. Some moving companies also offer temporary storage options, as well as unpacking services upon arrival.

Traveling with your automobile over short distances when moving is typically less expensive than shipping it with a transport company. However, consumers start to break even at around 500 miles. It's typically less costly and worth shipping your car with a professional transport company if the distance you're going exceeds 500 miles.

Planning ahead is essential—this will give you the chance to coordinate your move during weekends or after business hours, and set up essential services in your new office before moving day to minimize downtime. Start by creating a detailed timeline and checklist for every phase of the move, from packing to unpacking. Inform your employees, clients, and vendors about the move well in advance, including any expected disruptions and how you plan to manage them. Delegate responsibilities to ensure all aspects of the move are covered. Lastly, set up the essentials at the new location first to resume operations quickly.

Yes, moving a piano often causes it to become out of tune, even if you're not moving the piano very far. One reason is that any temperature and humidity changes can affect a piano's tuning. Additionally, the bumps and jolts from a moving truck usually push a piano out of tune. 

However, don't jump right to tuning it once the piano gets to your new home. Instead, it's best to wait at least two weeks for the instrument to acclimate to its new environment. After a couple weeks, you'll get an idea of what the piano will really sound like in its new home, at which point you can call a piano technician to get it properly tuned.
