What is a layaway?
A layaway is a method that allows you to place an item on hold/storage at our store to purchase it within sixty (60) days. 

How does a layaway work?
If you would like to place an item on layaway, a 25% deposit of the total purchase price must be placed on the item. Sixty days from the date that the layaway was created you must pay in full the remaining balance that is due to pick-up the item.

Here is an example:

The layaway total purchase price is $100.00. Deposit price of 25% is $25.00. Remaining balance to be paid in 60 days is $75.00

Is interest applied to the remaining balance of the layaway?
No, interest is not applied to the remaining balance of your layaway.

The advantage of a layaway.
A layaway allows you to purchase an item and pay without using your credit card or a large sum of cash at one time. It allows you to pay with smaller, more affordable amounts, allowing you to stay within your budget. This can be a great advantage to you for the holiday season. 

Can a special ordered item be placed on a layaway?
Yes, you can special order an item and place it on layaway. You will still need to place the 25% deposit to begin the layaway.

If you change your mind and cancel your layaway...
If you change your mind about placing an item on layaway and cancel it, your deposit will be refunded as in store credit.

If your layaway is not paid in full in 60 days…
If the layaway is not paid in full by the end of the 60 day period, the item is returned to general store inventory and all payments made within that 60 day period including your deposit are forfeited and not returned to you.

If your layaway is a special ordered item and is not paid in full in 60 days…
If the layaway is for a special ordered item and it is not paid in full by the end of the 60 day period, the item is returned to the distributor and all payments made within that 60 day period including your deposit are forfeited and not returned to you.

How to pay for a layaway…
Layaways can be created and paid with credit card, debit card, check, and  cash.
When you make a payment on your layaway you must bring your original layaway receipt and any additional payment receipts that you have received. This will help us locate your layaway and apply the payment correctly.
