Joe,
The invoice was issued when ship was loaded, the PHYSICAL paperwork for this to be confirmed and done had to get from port to Hainan, which by my estimates was 10 working days, plus time for a pencil pusher to approve it. Despite living in the modern age, 99.9% of shipping relies on wet paperwork, physical documents, physical paper and envelopes being delivered to stamp.
There was nothing wrong with the timeframe of first shipment payment IMO.
