For anyone interested in bulk order discount pricing, please note that our website does not automatically apply the discount. When you submit your order (and in the confirmation email you will receive shortly after submitting), it will appear that you are being charged the full price. DO NOT WORRY! We monitor for discount-qualifying orders and apply that discount after you submit, but before we process payment. In many cases, we are able to reduce the shipping charge for bulk orders, too.
