A few years back, I worked for a small car rental company that was going bust. Towards the end, all our suppliers made us pay cash on the barrel for everything. No credit whatsoever.

Maybe it's the same deal. These parcels (or whatever the deal is) have actually been paid for?

That's not how it works, the minute the company becomes bankrupt then all their debts are frozen, you can't get any special treatment over these debts........it's probable that these items where already in the pipeline or another company has taken over the contract.
