    DALLAS – Military shoppers making their holiday lists and checking them twice will have a little extra help from the Army & Air Force Exchange Service in budgeting their gift shopping.

    Beginning Sept. 1, the Exchange will waive the $3 service fee on select layaway items, including toys, bikes, computers, iPads and tablets.

    “The Exchange’s fee-free layaway is a great tool to manage gift-buying for family and friends,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “As a bonus, it also keeps presents out of sight until the big day.”

    The $3 service fee is waived for select items of $25 or more. The standard deposit of 15% of the item's price is still required to put the product on layaway. For toys and bikes, the items must be picked up within 60 days or by Dec. 24, whichever comes first. For computers, laptops, iPads, notebooks and tablets, the items must be picked up within 30 days or by Dec. 15. Some exclusions apply. See customer service at your local Exchange for more details.
