They will just cancel these if they do anything. In the past, Amazon generally catches things like this and cancels the orders. They can't charge more than what you agreed to pay. And there will be nothing to argue about, at least from our standpoint. Take a shot and let it go if it doesn't work out.
I ordered Rescue Me Seasons 1 and 2, and 2 copies of the Critic. Paid for 2-day shipping (about $7) for both orders, as in my experience, the people who seem to actually get these deals usually paid for expedited shipping. I think the free shipping orders will have a tough time working out, as Amazon moves pretty slowly with those orders.
FWIW, both of my orders, placed this morning, are 'shipping soon'.

Yes, I am selfish too. Better some people get in on the deal than no people.

Didn't see much that I really wanted. Don't want to order any of these for the sake of getting something for free if I'm never going to watch them. I did order Riptide which I loved as a kid and haven't seen in years and added Blue thunder to it. Total was $1.96 with free shipping. I'm not going to be greedy and order anything else as I don't have much interest in the others and amazon may catch on if everyone abuses this.

Ah, what a nice flashback to the good old days of internet shopping. I chose free shipping, and my orders are 'shipping soon'. Thanks OP.
Concerning shipping options, choosing the fastest/most expensive shipping option isn't always the best choice. Back when Suncoast had the 'everything is $15' sale, most express mail orders were cancelled.

Thanks again OP for spreading the word in a way that is probably the model for informing others about a deal without drawing the attention of the fly-by deal plunderers.

With this deal being on the front page of the TV section, you have to wonder how many people, unaware of the glitch, are just randomly picking up stuff, and saving more. Not like its a glitch you have to manipulate. Its just there.

We'll see what happens.
I put all 6 seasons of 'King of Queens' in my cart and selected free shipping and for some reason the total came out at $125 and change. So I bundled them into 3 sets of 2 and paid a total of about $20 shipping so I guess we'll see what happens.
