Continuing my role as devil's advocate for NF, I respond by pointing 
out that NF cannot be required to send out discs that they do not have 
in their local inventory. Also, nothing prevents them from shipping a 
disc from a distant inventory and thereby incurring a delay.

Do you have any direct evidence of that?

Please provide the direct links that substantiate that.

Actually I still am to some extent. For example, NF said it was 
shipping 3 discs Wednesday and I would receive them Thursday. I did 
not receive them. I assume I will get them today, which is a day late. 
By doing this to me, I can only receive a maximum of 6 discs per week, 
instead of the theoretical 9 per week. Never have I gotten 9 per week 
- there's always something that prevents it.

Yes.

As I just described above.

Again I ask you to substantiate that with direct links.
