You don't have to order extra disks to get your discount, just provide alternate selections (i.e. order 10 and provide 5 alternates Then if they are out of stock on 2-3 of the original 10, they will replace those 2-3 with discs from your alternate list. You may provide them with 15 discs but you're getting and paying for 10). I see no problem with this policy as it seems to be a common one. Laury's doesn't do it but then you don't get a discount from them. This may be repeating myself but after reading the notes again, I wanted to make sure this point was clear.
