I ordered them just before christmas and they arrived last week, just after the new year. Other option is chipping in and buying a load of blank discs and burning them ourselves but there is the cost of media involved (about £11 for 100 printable CD-R's from SVP) and then the time to burn the discs (say about 4 or 5 minutes per CD?), not to mention the Ubuntu pre-pressed CDs look more professional.
