I hear you but I had an experience with a US company, but quite some time back when I was in sales. Every single time, we used to get paid on the 45th day which was the agreed payment terms. Every month, our invoices used to land on the last day of the month (28, 29, 30, 31 depending on whether working day or not), and it did not matter to the company if the accounting person did not enter in their computer system until a week later, except quarter end : because it needs to go into a balance sheet so the deadlines were much harsher: no missed invoices showing up a day later. Anyways the point is that some (a lot) companies have their payments driven through automation and once the thing gets into the system, it gets paid, no "ask me next week" BS.
