This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1 · go to the accepted answer.

Anyone deciding whether a delay is a problem should ask what would change if they waited another week. Usually the answer is nothing.

I would put a moderate confidence on that and no more.

What I can speak to on insurance and replacement policies is narrow, so I will keep it narrow rather than generalising from it. Beyond that boundary I do not know.

I had written a reply contradicting post #121 and deleted it. Here is what survived.

Since insurance and replacement policies keeps coming up, it should probably be a maintained page rather than a recurring thread. I am happy to draft it if someone with more direct experience will review it.
