Unless I'm unaware, Axiom doesn't have a deferred payment plan available for Canadians, but they do for U.S. citizens through "Bill me Later". It sure would be nice, and I'm miffed as to why they don't. If they did, I'd get another EP500 or an EP800 pretty darn quick.

They do have a lay-away plan. While you don't get the speaker(s) upfront, you don't have to pay interest, and can pay a little over time.

Yeah Chris, I was already aware of that, but thanks. One thing that is so appealing for me, is interest free deferred payment plans. I would imagine it's costly to do from a business standpoint. I don't like the idea of making payments and then receiving the item, I'd rather purchase it and have the year to pay for it.

Bill-me-later is a credit company. It is only free if you pay within the first 25 days.
