Hi Srinivasa,

In order to send out goodies in early March, we will need to start 
printing tshirts starting from tomorrow.
Please let us know if there is any update on the quotation so we can 
confirm the quantity with the suppliers.

Otherwise, you may consider to help us to dispatch goodies and send to 
organizers locally.

In this case, we will pack every package of each organizer with their 
contact detail on it and then group them in a bigger parcel. What you 
need to do is just to open the big package and send out each packages 
with a local courier.

However, since I don't know if there is any tax that might incur and the 
cost of local courier, do you think it's more cost efficient to do this 
dispatch trick in India? (e.g. in China, it costs really nothing to send 
parcels from one city to another city, it costs a few ten cents $ / kg)

For reference the cost of sending 1 x 2.5kgs package from China to India 
cost is around $36.

E.g. If we have 21 packages:

21 smaller packages x 2.5kgs = ~$ 760
1 big package x 52.5kgs  = ~$ 500
