> They did not let me wait 14 days to pay them for product?
Not trying to defend for the company, but presumably, you purchased it from
its online store using a credit card, and in most cases, you are not charged
at the time of purchase until the next routine billing cycle of your credit
card company.
At the time of purchase, they just transmitted your payment information (via
secured mechanism) to the authorization center to verify if you have enough
credit to pay for the purchase.
But the actually charge normally will be done on the next billing cycle, but
of course, I am not sure if ALL banks are the same. And you don't need to
pay until you received your statement, so the chance is that you actually
may have more than 14 days to pay for it.
Hope this would make you feel better
