sherril Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Anyone put a Christmas layaway on at KMart yet this year? I think I am going to go in a week or two and put one on since Walmart dosent have layaway anymore.
luvy Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I'm doing the same thing! My kids are snoopers and frankly I don't want to keep all that stuff in my office:eyepoppin lol, years from now people will wonder what the heck lay-a-way was!
niki2202 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Does anyone know if they have their layaway open on BF?
sherril Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 Does Kmart charge for their layaway?mine does but some times they run free layaway specials
sherril Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 Does anyone know if they have their layaway open on BF? In my past expierence their layaway is usually full before BF
Andrea Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Last day for layaway is the beginning of November
achesley Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 yes kmarts layaway will be open both on thanksgiving and bf. It is a $5.00 layaway fee is all. I depends on the kmart when the last day to put layaways on. I have put stuff on layaway as late as early december
niki2202 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Thanks for all the info...I put some christmas stuff on layaway this weekend, just to be safe. Once I see what's going to be on sale for BF, I may call and see if layaway will be open then. Hopefully they'll have some good sales and the option to layaway!
Tessangel Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 As far as I know Kmart here has layaway but I will call to make sure.
tjredsox4 Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 In the flier that ends 11/3 layaway fee is $1 for a layaway up to $200 it says it in bottom left corner of page 1
blssed2bme Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 If you put items on layaway and the price lowers on BF, will K-mart give you a price adjustment while the item is still in layaway?
shanni Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 My local Kmarts layaway is horrible. It takes almost 1/2 an hour for someone to actually come and wait on you. It doesn't matter what day or time, it's almost impossible to find someone to help you.
GingerGirlNC Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 In our local 2 Kmarts they will only price adjust one time after layaway and that can only be the during the week after you put your layaway in. I like the old way... you could go every week and get a price adjustment but now you can't. I don't know if that is the way with all Kmarts so you should call ahead before you put your layaway in . If you put items on layaway and the price lowers on BF, will K-mart give you a price adjustment while the item is still in layaway?
autumnroser Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I have almost all my boys stuff on layaway @ Kmart. I was told I could do price adjustments teh 1st week. After that it is in stone. Also if I was late with any of my payments I loss teh items. THey stated they were running out of space already. If some one was late they got booted for some one else. Our fee is 5.30. (5 dollars plus tax)
Andrea Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 In Ga, you have 7 days from the time you put your item on layaway for an adjustment. after that there is no adjustment allowed.
niki2202 Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 It's the same here in PA as far as the price adjustments. None after the first week. I was also told that they are very strict with their payment policy...if you're late, you're out. PLUS you lose $15 as a cancellation fee. Ouch!
Andrea Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 cancellation fee's must differ from store to store, here its a five dollar fee
lost26 Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 my kmart wont let you add anything to layaway once you have one open already and then they charge a 5.00 fee and also last year they were losing alot of peoples stuff
shiivaa Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 i hate kmart with a passion-dirty unorganized etc-but sadly this year walmart and meijer have pushed me into using kmart due to lawaway. dont get me wrong-i can afford to buy the stuff now-but then my kids will find it! i love layaway because i can pick it up way closer to christmas and still have it be a surprise instead of hoping i find good hiding spaces.
mangreg99 Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 I work at Kmart. Our store is taking new layaways until Dec. 10th. No you cannot get a price adjustment after 7 days. That should be right on your reciept. It always takes a long time for someone to answer a page for layaway because they don't really have any one just working layaway. Kmart would lose money doing that. They just have people working other departments listen for pages. Any given day we might have only 10-12 people working. I got my schedule for next week and I get a whole 14 hours. It sucks but it's a job.
sassy kasi Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Our Kmart does layaway and it is open on Thanksgiving day & BF and they charge a $5 fee to hold it for you. I shopped at Kmart last year & will again this year b/c of their layaway, since Walmart doesn't do it anymore. We've been saving for a while so we can afford to buy the stuff now, but then my girls will find it! So, I'll use layaway because I can pick it up way closer to Christmas wrap it and they hopefully won't find it!
iloveblkfriday Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 my kmart is doing the $1.00 down put anything on layway in Ga
achesley Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Kmart nationwide it is only a $5.00 cancellation fee. You do also have a $5.00 non refundable layaway fee so you do loss $10.00 and I know that the kmarts here are flexable when it comes to making payments. All you have to do is make a phone call and if the person that you talk to if they say no call and talk to the store manager and they will be flexable. But if you need, talk to the store manager not the assistants, always take it to the top.
Housekeeper Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Repeating what achesley said, I know at the K-Mart I work for, if you know you're going to be late on a payment, call a couple days in advance. If you call, we write your name down on a list with the day you'll be able to pay by. I don't know how often they do the $1.00 layaway, but whenever they do, its in the ad, so keep an eye out for that. When it comes to layaway, at our store, you make payments every two weeks for 2 months. So if you put things on layaway, you might want to do it a day or so after payday for you. That way, when it comes time for your next payment, it will be easier since you just got paid.
plmckenzie Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Going to Kmart on Thanksgiving day is a 6 year tradition for me. I always put everything on lay away, my kids are snoops too. They usually run a special, Open a layaway for 1$ only. They do charge for the layaway but I think it is only 5$. It has always worked great for me. They usually do sweaters, pj's, outerware all for 50% off on Thanksgiving day. Shoes usually buy get one 50% off. They usually have game boy games for 5$ and great deals on Jewelry and electronics. Kmart's Thanksgiving day sale is usually better than there BF sale.
fletchee69 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I actually called and asked that question and they said that layaway will be open on bf
sherril Posted November 12, 2007 Author Posted November 12, 2007 my Kmart is almost full they are only allowing 3 toys per person now
Kim Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 I just did a layaway at Kmart this weekend. It was a $5 fee and I can only keep it in until 12/7. They told me about the day late deal and if I don't pick it up by the 7th the RTS too. Oh yea, and a $5 cancellation fee.
