Do you need a little extra help this Holiday season? Toys R Us announced that it will offer customers an even more convenient, flexible payment options this holiday season. Layaway will be available in Toys”R”Us and Babies “R”Us stores nationwide.
Also special limited-time Bill Me Later offers, available online at Toysrus.com and Babiesrus.com, offer customers the ability to make a series of smaller payments over time as an alternative to incurring fees associated with credit card purchases.
Beginning Saturday October 15th, Toys”R”Us will offer layaway on all playthings in 450 of its approximately 600 Toys”R”Us stores nationwide*.
How Layaway Works
The in-store layaway option gives customers 90 days to pay for their item(s). A 20% down payment is required and there is a $5 service fee for layaway. Payments may be made at the store where the order was placed at any time in the form of cash, check, credit card, debit card or gift card, but 50% of the total price of the order must be paid within 45 days and total price of the order must be paid within 90 days. In order to guarantee that items are made available by Christmas, all layaway orders for toys must be paid in full by December 4. In the event an order is cancelled, there is a $10 charge, however, there are some state-specific exceptions regarding this fee.
