Hi Mike and welcome. Looks like Buds did a mass removal of layaways across the board. You will need to ask Buds directly for an answer since the members here are customers as well. Likely reason is to clear space for current layaways since layaways are very popular. Buds Customer Service is at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

Hi Mike, we are customers like yourself and can only guess as to the reason why.
I would ask Buds Customer Service is at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.
Stay safe & have a great day!

It seems Buds has pulled layaway from many Items that were once available with the Layaway option. Since we're customers here just like you we can only speculate as to why?
Hopefully in the near future many Items will be back up for layaway?
You can always call Buds Customer service at 1-859-368-0371 9am-8pm Mon-Fri and see if they can give a better answer.
