Quoted from Rensh:DP only requires payment when unit is ready and just prior to shipment. Ofcourse shipping takes time and the distributor needs also some processingtime so like 3-5 weeks from payment till receiving doesn’t sound strange but 10?
There should be some system telling the buyer atleast some estimation when he should have the funds ready. I have myself noted that once I get enough money saved, I usually walk quite soon into the pinball shop and buy a new pin and after that start again saving for another machine (or something similar). For me it would be quite difficult to time the availability of the funds with announcement of DP telling that my machine is ready, please pay it now, if you want to get it...
