Thank you so much for your time and help! I just wanted to make sure our flow was valid and that we didn't need to use invoicing or some form of longer auth. It's preferred we auth ahead of time and charge when we receive items, it's the potential auth expiration during the shipping time and potential for an increase in the authorized amount that is worrying us. Thank you!

If we wait to confirm the payment intent for when we know the final total (could be a few weeks after creating payment intent) will the card authorization expire?
General rule of thumb is 7 days, although this can vary depending on card issuer and MCC

[crisp pawn]

Is that true even if the payment intent is not confirmed and if the card was saved to the customer via setup intent with usage set to off_session? That said - could we create new payment intents and charge the customer's card at the time of arrival without customer interaction (other than initial card setup)?

Yes, once the intent transitions to requires_capture the capture window opens and reflected on this timestamp: https://docs.stripe.com/api/charges/object#charge_object-payment_method_details-card_present-capture_before

That said - could we create new payment intents and charge the customer's card at the time of arrival without customer interaction (other than initial card setup)?
Yes you can do an off-session payment with the previously saved/setup card upon receipt of the delivery notification
