Introducing Our Traditional Lay-by Service at Marple Antiques & Collectables
At Marple Antiques & Collectables, we believe that special treasures should never slip through your fingers—no matter the timing. That’s why we offer our Lay-by service, a time-honoured way to secure that unique piece you’ve fallen in love with, while giving you the space to pay it off at a comfortable pace.
Much like the traditional Lay-by systems of years gone by, our plan allows you to place your chosen item safely aside and pay it off gradually over two months, with fortnightly instalments. To secure your Lay-by, a 20% deposit is required at the time of booking. Once your final payment is received, we will carefully pack your item and send it on its way to you, ready to begin its new chapter in your home.
Our Lay-By service is available on purchases over $200 and offers a gentle, stress-free way to budget for something truly special. We don’t charge any extra fees to place an item on Lay-By—it’s simply our way of helping you secure a treasure you love. Payments are made via Direct Deposit (EFT) into our nominated account, or using your nominated Visa or Mastercard credit card. If you choose to pay by card, we will contact you directly to securely collect your payment details. We will also provide you with a clear schedule so you know exactly when each instalment is due.
To arrange your Lay-by, simply give us a call on 0408 270 289. We’d be delighted to assist you and answer any questions you may have. Once we’ve set everything in place, we’ll send you a Lay-by Agreement, outlining the terms and payment details for your peace of mind. This agreement will need to be completed and returned to confirm your Lay-by.
Just like the shopkeepers of old, we hold your chosen item just for you—removing it from sale and reserving it until your payments are complete. Please note that Lay-by orders are non-refundable and non-transferable, so we kindly ask that you be sure of your purchase before proceeding.
Our Lay-by service is a charming and thoughtful way to make that special purchase without the worry of an upfront payment, except for the deposit. After all, some treasures are simply meant to be yours.
Call us today on 0408 270 289 to arrange your Lay-By and receive your personal agreement.
We’d be delighted to help you welcome a piece of history into your home—or gift it to someone who will cherish it for years to come.
