Am I asking for too much?

My father wants to order a couple boxes of Shrapnel cigars. They are those little crappy cigars that come in boxes of 50, cheap as hell. Anyway, they are even cheaper atm, at $25 a box and $39 if you buy two boxes.

So, I talked to my dad, he wants a box of each. Ordering online wont allow me to buy a box of each for $39, it wants $50 for both. So I called up CI and told them my situation, and they said that they cannot simply sell me a box of both for $39 dollars and that I would either have to buy two boxes of both and pay a discounted $78 or buy one of each at full price.

Am I asking too much here? Is this seriously that big of a deal? I am almost positive that my B&M here in town, or even any other B&M anywhere, would make a swap like that without a problem. I can't believe it would be such an issue to simply grab a box of each, they are probably sitting right next to each other in the warehouse.

/end of rant...
