Also, dsm918 , for ED it was all about timing. I could only travel in May, and I didn't want to go to status 111 until January, otherwise it would have been way too early. Order needed to go in around January to have just enough time and account for potential delays. I'd rather have that money in my account than Ottos, even if it was only a few months.
In retrospect I wouldn't handle anything differently as my delivery went without a hitch.
Maybe I would have pushed final finance papers signed and money down till the last second (10 days before) instead of the 3 weeks before that I did. My first payment came up way fast. Next time I wait till the last minute.
