How Layby Works With LayUp
LayUp lets you pay off your console over time in scheduled instalments. Once your payment plan is complete, we’ll begin preparing your order for dispatch.
-
You can tailor your plan to your pay cycle:
- Payment frequency: weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
- Plan length: from 4 weeks up to 12 months. Important lay by details to know:
- Minimum purchase for layby: your order must total at least $100 after discounts or promo codes are applied.
- Per scheduled payment limits: minimum $5, maximum $499 per transaction.
- Payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, direct debit, or PayPal.
Want Your Console Sooner? Try PayPal Pay in 4
If you’d like your order processed and shipped straight away, PayPal Pay in 4 can be a good alternative at checkout. With PayPal Pay in 4, your purchase is split into four payments over six weeks, and your order is processed and shipped straight away like a standard purchase. PayPal manages eligibility and approval for this option. PayPal Pay in 4 orders aren’t lay-bys; your order isn’t held until you finish all payments.
Delivery, Dispatch Times, and Paying off Early
After your final laybuy payment has been successfully processed, we’ll begin preparing your order for dispatch. For in-stock items, dispatch commonly starts within 7–14 business days, but timing can vary based on your location, stock availability, and item size.
If you pay out early to finish your lay-by sooner, keep these points in mind:
- Plans must run for at least 4 weeks.
- Allow up to 28 days for dispatch in some cases.
- Confirm delivery details before final payment to avoid delays.
Future Price Guarantee
If the item you're paying off drops in price before you finish your layby, we’ll issue a discount voucher for the price difference. Terms and conditions apply.
How the voucher works:
- It can be used on your next order, not the current one.
- It’s valid for 28 days from the day we issue it.
- You’ll need to spend at least four times the voucher value.
- Apple products are excluded.
- After using the voucher, your order must still total at least $150.
Returns, Faults, and Getting Help
If something’s not right when your item arrives, please get in touch within 7 days of receiving it. Depending on the situation, we’ll work with you to arrange a repair, replacement, or refund, and provide return shipping labels if needed. We follow local consumer laws, including Australian Consumer Law for Australian customers. We don’t accept change‑of‑mind returns, so please choose carefully before you start your plan
Gaming Consoles Australia FAQs
How long can I run a console layby?
You can choose a plan length from 4 weeks up to 12 months and set payments weekly, fortnightly, or monthly to match your budget.
When will my console dispatch if I use layby
Dispatch preparation begins after the final payment is processed. For in-stock items, dispatch commonly starts within 7–14 business days; in some cases, please allow up to 28 days after the last payment.
Can I cancel my layby?
Yes. You can cancel within 21 days of placing your order for a full refund with no cancellation fee. After 21 days, a 10% cancellation fee applies to standard orders, capped at $200, and gift card-only orders have a 6% fee, also capped at $200.
What’s the difference between layby and PayPal Pay in 4?
Layby holds your order until your plan is fully paid, then dispatch preparation begins. PayPal Pay in 4 splits the purchase into four payments over six weeks, and your order is processed and shipped straight away.
