Should i stratify my d. intermedia seeds and start them now or store them (how?) and wait for actual winter and plant them during the natural cycle? I will be receiving them this week.

You can stratify the seeds anytime but why wait till winter? You can stratify the seeds using GA3 [you can find instructions in the web] or use the fridge method. This is how I do the fridge method.

- Place the seeds in a damp paper towel and wrap it.
- Place it in a plastic baggy {sandwich bag}.
- Place the bag in your fridge [not in the freezer] and wait for 6 weeks.
- After 6 weeks, you can take it out of the fridge and plant them.

Yeah i planned to do the fridge method, i was just curious cause i heard that you could also just wait until real winter and start them outside. thanks!

Not a problem man, I've got some Sarrs seeds going on in my fridge right now and are erady to be planted this weekend. I'll maybe GA3 it still, just in case but it's been in the fridge for 7 weeks now.
