midnight555 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I know I just read it I'm so excited and they are doing black Friday as well
starbeck96 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I just read it on my facebook page. I'm excited. I was worried at first when I saw all the comments that said it was a 15.00 startup fee and 10% down but then I read that you get the 15.00 back on a Walmart gift card after you make the final payment. I will just save that gift card to spend BF... It said that there are limited hours Nov. 23. So, I bet you won't be able to put much on layaway that day. I also wish that you could put clothes on layaway. But it is better than nothing. I really wish they would bring it back for good.
gatorburg Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I dont mind the $10.00 or the 10% but $15.00 startup fee.... that is a little to high. Sears only has a $5.00 startup fee.

Sears only has a $5.00 startup fee.I don't mind as long as I get it back..I think they are doing it to ensure that the layaways are serious purchases. They did away with layaway in part due to the high number of cancellations. That's a lot of merchandise to hold if the sale isn't going to be completed.

I can always use a Walmart gift card..
racerfan Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Yay I am so happy. Guess I better go check out the cameras for DH we are replacing his DSLR and giving his old one to DD since she is going to try photography club now she is in HS!!!
midnight555 Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I wonder what time they are going to open the layway on black Friday because I will stay I'm so excited
hockeyfanamo Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I might use it for a couple of things this year....
angelbabymommy Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Hello everyone! I'm so excited the BF forums are open!! Anyhoo, I agree with everyone else about the $15 startup fee. I get it back, which is good. I do understand why they are doing this tho. You still have some ppl who will cancel and that just makes things more hectic on WM's end. Hey, they are being nice by bringing back layaway at an important time, which is helping me out LOTS, so I have no problem with it.
Elmck Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I wonder what time they are going to open the layway on black Friday because I will stay I'm so excitedI dont think they opened it last year on BF.
nicole20 Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I am so excited to hear this. My DS has been asking for an ipod touch this year and this will make it more managablet to get for him. I dont normally do layaway but I am definitely going to do it this year so I can spread out the payments
mgmckny Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 can TV's or computers be put on lataway?Electronics qualify for layaway.
jellybean051901 Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I plan on using this if they have their electronics sale in late october/early november
turq8672 Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) As of right now it will be open but BF items cannot be put on layaway until the day after the event. Edited August 26, 2012 by turq8672 typos
midnight555 Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 What are you saying that they aren't going to be doing layway on black friday
angelbabymommy Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 I know I just read it I'm so excited and they are doing black Friday as wellWhat are you saying that they aren't going to be doing layway on black fridayI just read the flyer and it said "layaway available 9.16-12.14 EXCLUDING 11.23 (Black Friday)"
jellybean051901 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Here is the press release for walmart layaway. It also says that if you like your local walmart on facebook you can start your layaway on Septemeber 14, which is two days earlier than everyone elsehttp://news.walmart.com/news-archive/2012/08/20/christmas-layaway-is-back-better-at-walmart
starbeck96 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Thanks. I wonder how they are going to tell if someone has liked them on Facebook...lol.

I have searched all the Walmarts in my area and none of them have it.
starbeck96 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Funny how they advertise this but there is no where to sign up for it. I have searched all the Walmarts in my area and none of them have it.All I did is just "like" my local Walmart. I am not sure if there is an actual sign up or not.

midnight555 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 It doesn't say anything excluding black Friday
jellybean051901 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 They will probably open up after the doorbuster sales are over.
angelbabymommy Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 It doesn't say anything excluding black FridayIt's on the red flyer thing; the small print at the bottom...
peifgirl Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 I went on facebook and searched for Medina Walmart and found it that way.I found all my local Walmarts. I was talking about being able to sign up for the early Layaway.
starbeck96 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I found all my local Walmarts. I was talking about being able to sign up for the early Layaway.I don't think you actually have to sign up anywhere...I just think it is a way that Walmart can get you to like your local Walmart page. I bet they don't check. I am going to take a print out of the actual corporate press release.
Turtle Mommy Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I am so glad they are bringing back layaway! I worked at walmart 15 years ago and i can tell you first hand what a pain in the butt layaway is. I TOTALLY understand the $15.00 and honestly I am suprised you get it back when you pick up the layaway. I would be fine with loosing the $15.00! LOL!
