Amazon: Your approval is required

We ordered an out-of-stock toy for a friend's child. The order was to ship a month later - okay, whatever, that's fine. After about a month I get an email:

From: order-update@amazon.com Subject: Your Amazon.com order (#xxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxx): your approval required Hello from Amazon.com. We're writing about the order you placed on xxxx (Order# xxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxx). Unfortunately, we are unable to ship the item(s) as soon as we expected and need to provide you with a new estimate of when the item(s) may be delivered: "Really Neat Toy" [Toy] Estimated arrival date: xx/xx/xxxx If you still want us to ship the items when they do become available (though they may arrive later than expected) please visit this address to approve the delay: http://www.amazon.com/gp/css/summary/edit.html/?useCase=approve&orderID=xxx-xxxxxxxxxxx-xxx

Alright, not a problem. I click on the link and get this message:

Important Message We thought you should know that we're experiencing a delay with your order. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please take note of the revised shipping and delivery estimates marked in red below. This order cannot proceed without your approval or changes. Please go to the approval page to approve this change.

Okay, I go ahead and approve the delay.

The next day I get the same message asking me to approve another day's delay.

The day after that I get another message asking me to approve another day's delay.

And this has been going on for four or five days now. Let's see how this one ends.
