Frequently Asked Questions

LAYAWAY

We are happy to offer layaway against a 10% non-refundable deposit to reserve with a maximum of three monthly instalments to follow at dates agreed. Your purchases will be shipped within 2 days of us being in receipt of the payment.
You can choose to pay sooner and/or in fewer instalments. But you decide and this can be amended along the way.
Shipping costs and taxes may be added at check out which are out of our control.
Our preferred payment is for the deposit and instalments, except the last one to be paid via Paypal invoicing with the last instalment via Etsy. This is just so as not to confuse the Etsy ordering.
If you prefer, all payments can be done via Etsy on agreed dates and times as the item would need to be a live listing then.
Hope this helps! If you require and further details please just let us know at info@littlevikingvintage.com
