So why do you want to order 15 or more CD's?
Well, download the image and burn some CD's yourself.

You should use the special delivery option with reasons as to why you want so many disks

Or even better yet, you could pay for 20.

After receiving 15 cd's for free, stating that it's not so free - sounds a little disingenuous. Why not just save one and copy it or download the file and burn it. The time invested in purchasing, burning and shipping these cd does equate to an out of pocket cost.

I can't help myself here. Why do you need more than 15 cd's? Are you shipping them to friends, family, etc. or ? Keep in mind, that others can order 15 more for you. With just a little creativity, I suspect one could built a small house out of these cd's - if they had enough family, friends and contacts. :) Sorry, just my sense of humor.

Good Luck

And you have contributed what to the system? (Help, comments, volunteer anything?) Oh I just noticed, you haven't even posted before. Really, what do you need with 15 CDs? Even a dolt can get one and make 100 copies.

Why am I bothering, he(she?) won't be back anyway.

Why do you need more than 15 free CDs? Limit could be 2 per address, but not 15. You can always buy 100 or more. Or you could make them by yourself.

15??? how greedy? i also requested for a CD. but it prompted me to download...
all we need is only one CD which will be shared for 27 people (mostly students) some are new switchers who wanted to try ubuntu. Yes, i requested previous releases (jaunty and intrepid) but of course we wanted to try "karmic koala"...

its just that we cannot download easily because we are less fortunate and base on experience we got lot of errors installing from downloading. weve downloading for about 2 weeks or more.. ending up with broken..

we only need one sir/ma'am.... maybe a gift for christmas. thanx.

Asking here will not accomplish much - shipit and the forum are 2 different entities.

If you are getting problems with downloads I would suggest you get it from a torrent.
