Moving a piano a long distance

I’d hire a mover.

We moved a piano from the US to England so different crews on each end and all items enclosed in giant wooden crates for shipping. When the team of 3 guys was unloading in England they started making jokes about the crate labeled piano. “Ha, ha, they must have reused an old crate and didn’t cross off the label.” We assured them that there was indeed a piano in there and the laughter stopped. They hadn’t been told there was a piano in the shipment so they didn’t have any of the equipment to move it, not even a ramp for the truck. It was just an upright but still. Somehow those three guys managed to lift it down and get it into the house safely.
