Get Ready for the Holidays: Walmart’s Layaway Service Starts August 31st, 2018
Walmart’s Layaway is BACK! 🛍
Starting August 31st and running through December 10th, 2018, Walmart stores are offering their convenient Layaway plan for in-store purchases, perfect for all of your holiday shopping!
Plus, you don’t have to use credit cards, and there are NO interest payments on your purchases! However, note that Layaway is not offered online and is available for in-store purchases only.
How do I start a Layaway?
To initiate a Layaway, simply bring the item (or the “tear pad” ticket for large and heavy items) to the Pickup Desk or in Lawn & Garden at your store. There’s NO opening fee required for a Layaway!
Then, all you need to do is make a small down-payment of $10, or 10%, whichever is greater. Note that individual Layaway items must cost $10 or more and total purchases must be $50 or greater. You can even make payments ANY time on your Layaway at ANY register in the store.
The final payment and pickup must be made before the last day of Layaway at the same store where it was initiated, otherwise the account will be canceled. If your Layaway account is canceled, items will be returned to inventory and any down-payment and payments made will be refunded, less a $10 cancellation fee (does not apply in Maryland, Ohio, Rhode Island, or Washington, D.C.).
NOTE: Layaway is not available on Thursday, November 22nd, 2018 (Thanksgiving day).
What items can I put on Layaway?
- Electronics (without service plans)
- Toys
- Small Appliances
- Large Furniture
- Auto Electronics
- Sporting Goods (select items)
- Jewelry
- Infant Toys
- Infant Furniture
Need to return an item? Walmart’s Return Policy applies to all Layaway transactions.
It’s starting so early. So much consumerism is sneakily encouraged in our country by retailers.
I for one am grateful for the extra time to pay down these items. I wanted to buy 2 new TVs and was stressed about having to pay it down in the traditional 2 months. This gives me a little extra time to space out payments and for me to be able to make lower payments. If they had a 6 month option I would go for that too.
can you start and pay online for layaway or is it in store only? I read through the info, sorry If I missed this
sorry….tried to delete comment after reading over the post again. I see that online layaway is NOT offered at this time. sorry again and thank you
No worries! I’m glad you were able to get the answer to your question. 🙂
If you have a Kmart in your area they offer online layaway and payment via online on tons of items.
