How to Buy Huge Amounts of Blank CDs
Blank compact discs, or CDs, have a wide range of possible uses. You may want to backup data or burn playable music CDs to enhance your personal life. Another possible use of blank CDs is to create and distribute presentations for business or academic purposes. You may also want to send digital photo CDs to family members and friends for a special gift. Buying huge amounts of blank CDs can be hard to carry out locally, so if you have a need for a large number of blank CDs you can usually save money and time by completing such a purchase online.

Review all purchasing information carefully. Be especially mindful of shipping costs, especially if you are ordering quantities such as 500 or 1,000 CDs. Surprise shipping costs can spoil what at first sight looks like a great deal.

Once you have carefully researched costs, place your order. Fill out the merchant's onscreen forms as requested, providing information like your full name, shipping address and credit or debit card data.
If you do not have a credit or debit card, or prefer not to use one for online purchases, some merchants will allow you to mail in a money order or check to complete a purchase. Call your preferred company's customer service number (it should be listed prominently on the website or in a help section) if this applies to your situation. They will instruct you how to proceed.

Wait to receive the blank CDs you ordered. If you completed the transaction online, you should receive a tracking number. This will help you find out an estimated delivery date for your order.
