Best fit
For which moves?
- Individually reviewed upright or grand piano requests
- Routes with documented measurements and surfaces
- Jobs accepted only after equipment and crew confirmation
Estimate factors
Details that shape the move.
- Piano type and dimensions
- Stairs, landings, and tight turns
- Carry path and exterior surfaces
- Crew, equipment, and distance
Instrument first
A piano is not ordinary furniture.
Share the piano type and approximate dimensions, photographs of the instrument, every stair flight and landing, door widths, tight turns, and the path to the truck. ZIP Moving must confirm whether the equipment, crew, and scope are appropriate for the request; do not book a general furniture move and reveal the piano on move day.

Service questions
Know before you move.
Will the piano need tuning afterward?
Moving and tuning are different services. Ask a qualified piano technician when the instrument should be tuned after relocation. Before booking, compare the written estimate with both addresses, the disclosed inventory, access conditions, packing requests, and special-handling notes. Correct any missing scope and ask which details can still change the crew, schedule, route, or price.
What should I confirm before requesting piano moving?
Confirm piano type, size, and approximate weight, exterior grade, stairs, landings, and soft ground, whether specialist services such as tuning are separate. ZIP Moving reviews these details before the scope is accepted. Also send the pickup and delivery ZIP codes, target date, stairs or elevators, parking distance, building windows, and any inventory changes. The written reply should separate confirmed scope from details that still depend on availability or inspection.
