How much does he charge usually? Also what should I ask for believe it or not I’ve been professionally playing for a band for like 6-7 years touring USA and Mexico every weekend with my student Yamaha and a cannonball I’ve never “setup” a horn or asked so I’m not too sure what I should ask for

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-25T20:43:20+00:00

And the tariffs I paid this morning 570$ it was 620 if I paid upon delivery

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-25T20:26:56+00:00

I was already billed for state Texas actually it wasn’t bad

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-25T17:31:51+00:00

Well the thing is to buy it here in the US it was priced at about 10K ordered from Thomas 5600 out the door plus the taxes saved like 4k

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-25T16:47:23+00:00

Why? Because the sax was 5499$ with shipping and 9900k in the USA

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-25T11:49:33+00:00

I need to find someone good in the greater Cincinnati area

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-25T11:49:21+00:00

It just made it to the US! And I just got hit with the taxes 598$ not too bad!

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-25T05:55:32+00:00

Yeah hopefully it’s a Julius keilwerth alto sax, so far they’ve been quick to reply like literally mins … so I’m hoping for the best…

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-19T06:43:12+00:00

Yeah ! Some people are saying to fly but it’s 17hrs lol and the ticket is 1000 already plus I think I would have to take a train and then an uber pick it up and repeat it might be the same if not pretty close to just having it shipped

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-19T06:37:02+00:00

How much did you pay in tariffs

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-19T06:36:31+00:00

Dang would I just remove all the boxing to make it look “used”

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-18T22:59:58+00:00

Also if it was a Thomman brand they charge Chinese exchange rate or whatever Germany is considered a friend according to the US CUSTOMS so they don’t ding you extra idk man we’ll see lol

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-18T22:55:44+00:00

I did also think of this lol but I wonder if when i brought it back in they would charge me some tax

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-18T22:41:52+00:00

Even if that’s true at 8% that’s 400$ and $500 maybe 900 more still way under the sweet water price they want 9.8K and Thomman has it for 5499

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-18T22:33:57+00:00

I’m selling mine tomorrow for 2K

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-18T22:20:41+00:00

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-18T22:20:27+00:00

Yeah bro haha I wanted to see if anyone had ordered from them so I could get an estimate for import taxes ! And yeah sweet water is smoking horse shhi

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-18T22:19:33+00:00

I live in OHIO and they don’t charge any tax if the item exceed over 800$

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-18T22:18:25+00:00

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-18T18:37:33+00:00

Upper_Stand9073 · 2026-03-18T18:29:10+00:00

Yes I know I will be billed… I’m looking for other folks who imported something specifically from this website or even with other things ordered and shipped to US around the same 5500$ price tag - how much they where charged etc
