my Layby – Easy Shopping Online
Jul 10
Sponsored by Kids Business.
Crowds. I think I have had enough of crowds. Over the past few weeks, I have found myself in a number of situations which meant that I was surrounded by crowds. Which at the best of times can be rather trying, but add in a child or two (or three or four!) and crowds can become a little overwhelming, exhausting, and often times very frustrating!
So I have never made a secret of the fact that I am an online shopper through and through. It means I can research the product I am looking for, get advice and recommendations from friends (I heart Facebook!), click a few buttons and it’s all done! If you have the cash ready to go then you can buy anything you want online… except when you don’t, because sometimes you won’t (thank you Dr Seuss). Sometimes you just won’t have the cash available for an upfront payment (or even a deposit).
my Layby in an online shopping site which allows customers to lay-by purchases on a flexible payment plan (from 4 weeks to 52 weeks based on how much you can afford to spend per week/ fortnight/ month, or when you want it delivered by). How many times have you had a FANTASTIC present hidden away for an upcoming birthday, only to have it “discovered” by a little person weeks before the big day! Argh!
When I was pregnant with our first baby, I had sooooo much on layby. I had a folder that was bursting with receipts and paperwork. I even forgot about one layby until I got a lovely little letter telling me that my layby period was about to expire and could I kindly come in and get the item NOW! The last thing I felt like doing when I was 36 weeks pregnant was traipsing from shop to shop, clutching my little receipts, and lugging home all the goods we had bought over the past 6 months.
my Layby can help right from the first months of pregnancy by allowing you to pay off the nursery you want, without using the credit card, plus it gets delivered FREE to your door at the time you want it. And because they stock a huge range of products (eg. Nursery and Baby, Electronics & Appliances, Camping and Outdoor Furniture plus heaps more) you can have everything sorted with just one store – no need to try and remember where you have bought everything from!
The benefits of my Layby include:
- Convenient- shop from your home, delivered to your door FREE!
- No Deposit required.
- No Interest on any purchase- ever!
- No Credit Needed- direct debit your payments direct from your bank account.
- Makes Buying Big Ticket Items Easy- by spreading the payments across a period of time- no big hit spending!
- Flexible Payments- you choose the terms; pick from either the amount you wish to pay per week or when you need it delivered by and we do the rest!
- Great for gifts- spread the cost over the year for presents for the family and friends and get it delivered direct to the door!
And if there is a price drop on the item during your layby term, you get the reduced savings passed on to you! Has your layby item been upgraded with a newer model? Never fear, if they are a similar price then you will get a FREE upgrade! How can you go wrong? (I have my eye on a new iPad for the Smiles family!)
Right now there is a special offer – a FREE Vibration Speaker with every order!
You can also keep up with new products and find out about the latest promotions on the my Layby Facebook page. So bypass the crowds, be kind to your budget, and make the most of shopping online!























Nat, have you purchased anything through the site? I’ve seen it advertised (and now have the theme song in my head!) but haven’t used it yet. Interesting to know more about it though, it will come in handy in future!
Hi Carly! I met the ladies who run the site about two months ago and it sounds fantastic. I spoke with them about the iPad and they reassured me that if a new version was released during the layby time, then our purchase would automatically be upgraded which I thought was SOOO cool (that always worries me with layby). I haven’t ordered yet, but it’s def handy when you have a few things to buy at once!
