Packaging cost
Generally, the packaging cost of a brand-new piano music store is around 200. The packaging fee for second-hand pianos is generally 100. Packaging usually includes
Internal plastic packaging
B used for forklift operation with wooden base.
Cardboard outer packaging
D banding
Second, logistics and transportation costs.
Logistics freight is mainly calculated according to the cube. If the logistics in your city can go directly, the cost will be lower and the time will be short, usually 3-4 days. If your city belongs to a second-class city, or needs logistics transshipment, the cost will be relatively high, and the time will generally be around 7 days.
In addition, the logistics cost varies according to the size of the logistics company.
For example, the cost of Huayu Logistics is relatively high.
Logistics costs are generally paid after the goods are inspected.
Buyers can choose assured logistics to ensure transportation safety.
3. Insurance cost
Piano is a big commodity weighing 400-500 Jin, and it is also fragile. Knocking or falling will cause fatal damage to the piano. Generally, the piano dropped from 1 m has basically lost its use value or even been scrapped on the spot, so the insurance premium is absolutely inevitable.
Consumers here must take out insurance, otherwise they can only bear the losses themselves in case of problems.
The insurance premium is generally around 100-200 depending on the amount. The suggested insurance amount of the piano is equal to or slightly higher than the actual price of the piano.
Direct logistics cost (door-to-door)
This service is the service that the piano is transported directly to your home downstairs after being transported to the local logistics center. Of course, it should be noted that logistics companies only deliver goods, whether it is upstairs or home delivery.
If your home is far from the logistics center, you can choose this service, if the logistics center is close to your home, you can not choose this service.
The service charge is generally 50.
-The dividing line.
At this point, the piano has been delivered to your city. Don't worry, there are two very important steps. Note that these two steps are usually carried out at the same time.
These two steps are as follows: 1. Contact the local piano handling company by telephone to carry the piano upstairs or transport it home from the logistics office.
Second, check whether the piano is in good condition.
Let's talk about the inspection method first.
1 Check whether the outer packaging is in good condition and whether there are signs such as damaged blisters on the carton.
2 Check whether the binding belt is intact and damaged.
Unpacking inspection Check whether the four bottom corners of the piano and the corners such as the piano cover are damaged.
If there is a piano stool inside the piano, you need to check whether it is in good condition when packing it together.
You can sign for it after checking it.
If you find that the piano is broken, you should refuse to take photos of the broken piano and call the logistics company for compensation. Generally, you need to write a written explanation.
Generally speaking, the proportion of piano transportation problems is very small, generally 1%. Now pianos are transported by logistics, so the logistics center also pays more attention to them.
Here is the last step. After the piano is inspected and signed, the piano porter can move the piano to the car and take it home.
It should be noted that short-distance transportation does not require piano packaging. You can use it to sell junk, or you can throw away the piano and go upstairs without packing it. You can't go upstairs if there are packers and porters.
We must find a handling company with professional piano handling experience here, which can usually be found in a musical instrument store.
A friend said that I bought the piano myself and asked the music shop for help. What if people don't come? It doesn't matter. You can say that this is my own piano, which was shipped from other places. I need to contact the moving company to go upstairs. Usually I will give you the phone number of the moving company.
Finally, the same is true for home inspection. Check every corner of the piano and don't forget to deliver it.
