They do not sell cases. They sell bottles. You can buy 1, 3, 7, 12, 18, 24 or more. If you buy 12 or 24, they have them wrapped for easy storage, but you are not getting a discount just because you bought more. If you want it for $4.99, go to the supermarket. They offer water as an impulse buy product. Like the candy bars. If you buy a box of candy bars, are they supposed to give them to you at supermarket prices?
If so, why?

I guess the way I see it is if you want to buy 24 individual bottles from them you can ask and they can sell them to you. If $2 per bottle is their normal price than so be it. But to put it out and advertise it in a time of need just seems like a pretty desperate, low move, especially when they probably paid 30 cents per bottle or less. Maybe there are times in our lives when it is okay to make a little less money and help our fellow man out instead of milking them for every last penny you can in times of need. It comes off like they are trying to capitalize on a natural disaster and that doesn't sit well with me.
Again, maybe I am overreacting but my gut tells me doing what they are doing is pretty shady.
