Announcing! 12 and 16 Week Layaway Contracts available on snowblowers over $400!

That’s right!  Sears customers have told them over and over that they love the layaway program during these hard economic times.  Sears asked for suggestions to improve the program and two major suggestions stood out.

“I wish I had longer contracts, it would help me when doing Christmas shopping.”

“A longer contract would help me with cash flow – I could pay it off early or if I needed to take the payments all the way to the end of the contract”

Sears Layaway listened and now offers an 8 week program on any purchase, a 12 week program on any purchase over $400 and a 16 week layaway program for snowblowers over $400. (the optional Repair Agreement can be included in the Layaway purchase)

I’m not going to go into the details for the 8 and 12 week programs.  You can read about them on Sears.com.  Here are the details for the 16 week program.  Requirement: Only available on snow throwers over $400. Duration: 16 weeks (can pay off early) Initiation Fee: $15. Cancellation Fee: $30. Down Payment: $30 or 20%. Payment Frequency: Bi-Weekly. Payment Amount: 12.5% of balance due after the down payment is made. Cancellation (Grace Period) 7 days.

Note: During the checkout process you will have the option to put your new snowblower on layaway.  You can set the length of the contract there.
