Yup; respect the EDD range, at the very least. And if they're customer-centric, maybe even go the extra mile and accommodate a small delay in cases where the reasoning is there, but that's icing on the cake.
I don't see how that's controversial. While I appreciate that it's available sooner and understand more people would love to be in my position, it's at the very least bad business, imo, to expect people to bend their life on a whim and offer no recourse beyond "get back in line and make it work next time - you have one more shot". We're paying a decent penny and should expect some level of respect, imo.
Anyway, this is beyond the point of my original post. Lmk if you have any insight on how they handle VIN reassignments. Trying to decide my next move.
