Lay-By & Special Order items

Yes! We offer lay-by on any item you may wish to buy in-store or over the phone if you’d like to secure an item. Special Order items (i.e. products ordered in especially for you) are considered a lay-by and adhere to the same rules as lay-bys, stated below.

We take a 20% non-refundable deposit on any lay-by and you have three months to complete payment on your purchase. In the event of a change of mind or if you’re unable to complete payments, the initial 20% deposit is forfeit, but any further payments will be refunded immediately.

- For special order items, a 20% non-refundable deposit is taken when placing the order, and your three-month lay-by begins when the item arrives in-store, which you will be notified of. In the event of a change of mind or if you’re unable to complete payments, the initial 20% deposit is forfeit and any further payments will be refunded immediately.

- Once the 20% non-refundable deposit is taken, we cannot alter the sale price after the price is agreed on and deposit has been paid. Paying a deposit is agreement to a sale price.
