LAYAWAY  POLICY


LayAway

When you see this symbol, it means that someone is currently making payments on the item tagged according to the terms of our LayAway Policy below and, unless it is cancelled at a later date for some reason, the item is considered sold.  You may order LayAway items with our online secure server.  When paying by credit card, simply write in the special instructions window "LayAway Requested" and only the amount of the deposit will be charged.  Our secure server simply relays the order to us securely; we must physically process your charge so you will not be billed the full amount even though this is what will show up on your order.  

HOLD

When you see this symbol, it means that someone has put money down on the item to reserve it while they consider purchase; i.e., look into shipping arrangements, financing, bide time until they can physically come in to look at the piece, or any other reason.  See Details below.


Our Internet LayAway Policy is not cast in stone, but is flexible to a degree.  However, some basics apply as follows:

Purchases Less than $100 - 1 Month:

Up to 30 days maximum, 20% deposit required, non-refundable if cancelled.  If paying by credit card, we will automatically deduct the payments at the agreed upon time.  Payments made by mail must arrive by the due date.  We will allow a grace period of one week after which $10 late fees will apply.  The merchandise will not be shipped until any late fees have been paid.   


Purchases Over $100 but less than $500 - 2 Months:

Up to 60 days maximum, 20% deposit required.  If cancelled, half of deposit is non-refundable, balance of monies paid to date applicable toward other merchandise on our website.  An additional 20% payment due at end of 30 days, balance due at end of 60-day period.  If paying by credit card, we will automatically deduct the payments at the agreed upon time each month.  Payments made by mail must arrive by the due date of each month.  We will allow a grace period of one week after which $10 late fees will apply.  This will not change subsequent due dates and additional late fees will apply if payments are not received.  Merchandise will not be shipped until any late fees have been paid.

NEW OPTION:  You may pay me through Paypal if you prefer to do that.  Just click here and be sure to make a note about which item you are placing on LayAway.  Thank you.

NOTE:   ITEMS NOT PAID FOR IN FULL BY THE AGREED END OF THE LAYAWAY PERIOD WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE AGAIN AND MONIES PAID TO DATE WILL BE APPLIED AS STATED ABOVE.

Again, we are flexible to some degree on our policies and are willing to adjust these terms to meet your needs.  The above policies are published here to protect our interests and to set up our basic requirements.  If you have any questions about these conditions, please feel free to call or email us.

We are sure you will be pleased with your purchases from Milady's Vanity and look forward to serving you!



HOLDHOLDING AN ITEM

While we do offer holding an item while you contemplate purchase, we regret that we cannot offer this service free of charge.  Too often in the past, when we have extended a courtesy hold, we have ended up losing a sale to an internet purchaser or an in-store buyer who has traveled a great distance, is ready to buy, and cannot come back.  

Therefore, in order to use our HOLDoption, we require a 15% deposit on the item in question.  This prevents the item from being sold to another person and holds it for you for up to 2 weeks while you decide whether or not to complete the purchase.  If you should decide against purchase, your 15% is non-refundable.  If you decide to buy it, the deposit is applied toward the purchase price.  If you wish to purchase another item instead, 10% is usable as credit toward other merchandise if purchased within the two week period. 

We hope you understand the need for this policy and if you have any questions about these conditions, please feel free to call or email us.  Remember ... we are here to serve you and make your purchase as painless as possible :-).
