New avid user trying to import footage

I have footage that a cliet has dumped onto their hardrive and already created bins. I transfered the entire folder from their harddrive to mine and am now trying to import the bins with the files, or just the files into avid. I tried opening the bin inside of avid, it opened but then all the files were offline and I can not seem to figure out how to reconnect them. I also tried importing the media files but that also did not work. Can anyone tell me the best way to transfer these files from my harddrive into avid?
