What merchandise do you buy?

How many are there?

Which country is it sent to?

Can you clear the Customs by yourself?

When you solve the above problem, look at the freight.

Usually Alibaba sends domestic freight by the merchant arranges the transporter by itself, but China sends the other country express by you to look for. According to the answers to the previous questions, the freight rates will be different. You can ask more agents to ask the price and choose the most suitable transportation.
 

Ask the supplier quote the freight cost separate.

And you could find cheaper option of freight cost from the supplier.

Tell the supplier that you choose finally that With cheaper amount freight cost. Ask them try to find that way.

But please pay attention on the shipping day. The cheaper one may needs more days and may ship by HK(if so, they need to ship to HK first , so need more day. And they may use different express)

Hope it is helpful for you .

Thank you
