Sorry if this is stating the obvious.
Clicking the item does not craft it, you need to click the "Craft Item" button in the lower right of the recipe window. You can queue up to 5 items.
I also got an email from Amazon concerning my CE with the same delivery date (12/16/2011). On top of that they discounted my shipping from $9.98 to .99. THANK YOU Amazon I will have a very Merry Christmas!!
