So, I'm not afraid to admit when I am a noob and ask for help.
I've bought a few things off Aliexpress and thought this would be easy. However, I am seeing that Alibaba and direct contact with manuf. is a bit different.
I reached out directly to a few companies in India about a certain product and it took them a while to get back to me, but they sent me this today and I am not sure what to make of it.
I'd rather look stupid on the forum, then to the person I am buying from ( so they don't rip me off potentially ) so I am going to post this here and also browse the forum too to see what I can learn.

I changed some of the info above, but my main questions are:
- There is no way possible that's $2.90 to Air Freight to my local airport a box of 100,000 pens. I'm thinking that's the price for 1000, so the Air Freight would be $290, right?
- Are these 3 options I have for shipping above? Meaning I pick 1 ( like Air Freight ) and just pay that and get it shipped? Or am I paying all 3 combined ( 6.5 + 2.9 + 9.4 ) to get my product here?
- If I do get it Air Freighted to my local airport, then what? Do I simply drive to the airport and get it, or do I need to get in contact with DHL/UPS/Fedex to deliver it from the airport to my business?
Thanks ahead of time for any input.
