Stress-free Holiday shopping

NOV

2008

Layaway was very helpful to me and my family this year. Instead of stressing about holiday shopping within a few weeks before Christmas, I was able to shop once.. put a small down payment down that day and then make a payment once every two weeks. Took a lot of stress out of my life and no credit card debt too boot! :)

I used to shop Wal*Mart's layaway too, they've since quit offering it and it was a shame. Thanks KMart for offering such a helpful service!

I only could buy a PS3 because of layaway

DEC

2008

I am so extremely happy that Kmart decided to bring back layaway. My Christmas just wouldn't have been the same without it! With times being difficult and money being tight I couldn't have managed to buy a PS3 for a gift like I wanted to. As soon as I found out that Kmart had layaway I immediately went and put the game system on layaway. Now (I'm almost ashamed to say) that I am just as excited about having the game system and watching Blu-ray movies as my boyfriend!

Keep the credit monsters away, layaway for your holiday gifts!

NOV

2008

The holidays are almost here so hit your local Kmart and layaway the family and friend gifts now! You can split the payments over the next few weeks with no interest to pay at the end. The best part for me is that when I give it is paid in full, no January added credit bills to pay!

Layaway at Kmart

NOV

2008

I think it is great that Kmart has kept the layaway dept., but they need to make it easier to use layaway. I decided to use Kmart for my Christmas layaway...one of the only stores who still have it....but I had to wait in a very long line. The girl that was behind the counter was overwhelmed. She had called for help numerous times while I was there and even stopped one of the manager who walked by while I was there. The manager said she would send someone back to help the girl. I was there for another 30 minutes and no one came back to help her. I felt sorry for the girl in layaway...

layaway-utter chaos

DEC

2008

I had a layaway at k-mart and when I went to pick it up, after paying it off, I waited for it for, for over an hour, and never got it. They could not find it, so I had to leave the store empty handed and return the next day to pick it up. It was a costly ordeal. I lost time and gas and nearly my patience. It was not a good experience to say the least. I think that the layaway was a good idea, but a better organized system is defineately in order!

I dont want to hear the layaway queens day!!

DEC

2008

Look, I dont want to complain but I will..lol, If Im in line for the layaway or whatever I dont want to here about the layaway queens day, dog,cell phone, friend, car, or whatever while I stand their being ignored. This is not because the layaway queen was stressed or overworked in this situation, actually she pretty darn calm. I had to stand in line not because their was a long line of layaway people, or they where learning the register or they had run out of receipt paper, this was because the queen was talking to the other cashier about her cell phones life, history, and so on. Do I... read full review »

Kmart Layaway is the best

I believe in honesty

DEC

2009

My girl and I just recently had a baby and we're living with her family which includes her father, her mother, and her brother. And I don't make that much at where I work and We needed something to where we'd be able to get what we needed to get for our daughter and her family so we'd be able to have a pretty big part in christmas. Not to mention we need to get something to where we'd be able to get things for christmas and be able to get the everyday things we needed to get for our daughter like diapers and all that good stuff. My girl mentioned something about kmart layaway because of the commercials...
