When my kindle broke (within one year though only barely) I asked if they wanted a picture of the error (frozen screen). I was told they don't need it and my brand new kindle (with added 3g, the broken one was wifi-only) should arrive in the next 2-3 days. So yeah, I hope their service stays as awesome as it is.
On the other hand, the stuff recommended in the blog posts would be easy to implement without really making it more of a hassle (only ship to places already listed, ask for more than name, mail and address, collate chats).
I once ordered an item by mistake (oops, one click shipping!) I should have paid attention. I requested to return the item and fully expected to pay the shipping costs back. I explained that it is MY fault. They still told me that it wasn't a big deal and that they would cover the shipping back.
I'm not sure what the proper solution is. I don't want to lose that helpfulness, but I hate for them to get ripped off, too, due to assholes. They've been very good to me and have quickly addressed any issue I've ever had.
