Unless you're a giant customer with something big to beat up the vendors with, like high-level political connections, you're going to be paying up-front for delivery sometime in the distant future if you order anything today. Many vendors won't take any orders without payment up-front.

Ok, so many vendors might get through unscathed for the duration of those orders (but not after, and not if one excludes all the auxiliary services to the buyers who will become stressed with all the inventory on their hands that vendors expect their buyers to also purchase from them along the way for the duration of those orders), but their buyers wont.
