I'll PayPal you $5 if you can show me a receipt for a purchased Pi Zero for $5.

I've ordered multiple rpi zero's / zero w's at cost ($5/$10 respectively) + a few dollars for shipping. Purchased through adafruit, pi hut, and canakit. No need for a receipt, it's in stock for purchase right now [0][1][2] What you don't get however, is the ability to purchase them in any bulk quantity at that price. However the bulk price is still much less than $49.

  That's more like ten dollars though.

    Nobody claimed it was $5 including shipping. It's still £3.82 ($5.32) without VAT (deducting it since US prices never include sales tax, either) and shipping at Pimoroni UK right now.

      It's not $5 plus $5 shipping unless I can buy three for $20. Otherwise it's just $10 including shipping. Since you can't buy more than one, "shipping" is just a way to get the price up. It's like those eBay sellers who sell a $10 item for $1 and charge $12 for shipping, per item.

        Its also a problem for warranty related reasons. Those eBay sellers who sell an item, will only have to reimburse $1 if the item becomes damaged. Same with $5 item + $5 S&H but different proportions of price and therefore severity.

        It’s not like these shops only sell Pi Zeros, the shipping costs are the same for other Raspberry Pis and accessories. But you’re right, limiting saws to one per order raises the effective price to $10.

My local Microcenter has Pi zero[0] and Pi zero W[1] in stock for $5 each. They will only sell you one of each per visit at that price. Last time I bought a Pi Zero from them, I paid $0.99 for it.[2] Once again, they would only sell one per visit at that price when they were running that sale. You aren't going to get enough for any kind of production run at that price, but they're not exactly unobtanium.
