I guess for the same reason that anyone uses layaway, they didnt have the money up front and knew that they wouldn't have it all anytime soon.

Its easy to say in hindsight that it was a bad idea but if they expected the kits to be ready within a few months of when they ordered, then it was possibly a good idea. Plus if they had started paying and then were able to make the final payment when the kits were ready then they wouldnt be at the bottom of the queue for delivery.

Maybe they knew that if they didnt start paying it off now then they would end up spending their money on something else whilst waiting and miss out completely.
