Unfortunately they did.

Hi John and welcome. Unfortunately, yes. Recently it was a $10 fee after 30 days and $15 more after 60 days for $25 total layaway fee. Now it is $30 upfront. Team Bud's Members used to get unlimited fee free layaway's and now under new management, only two fee free layaways per year. Cheers and stay safe!

Unfortunately, yes! We are customers like you and tend to use layaway on a regular basis. So, we feel it as well. 👎🏻

To my utter shock YES, and it's worse. The layaway program we have all grown to love and use has been completely changed. Here is exactly what Bud's website states: 90 Day Layaway Plan Only New Firearms are eligible for this program. The layaway plan is very simple to use. Just place your order online as you normally would, and select 'LAYAWAY' as your payment option during checkout. Upon receipt of your non refundable 25% deposit and $30 upfront fee, we will secure your firearms(s) from our inventory and activate your 90 day Layaway Plan. There is a $30 upfront fee for all layaway orders. Active Team Buds members are allowed 1 no fee layaway orders per year. What payments are due and when? Day 1: 25% down + $30 fee Day 30: another 25% due Day 60: another 25% due Day 90: remaining balance due

Wow, so now if you just needed a few extra weeks for a layaway (Free 1st month), you still have to pay the Full 90 days fee of $30 up front?!? I guess if you know you'll be doing a full 90 day layaway the $30 up front makes no difference.

Hi John, Bud's layaway program has changed drastically. You pay a $30 up front layaway fee. Now 25% down is required, instead of 15%. With the old program, you paid however much you wanted when you wanted. Now you must pay another 25% on days 30, 60, & 90. Team Bud's members get 1 no fee layaway per year. Seems like Bud's is driving people away.
