Carpet companies offering - buy now pay later with 0%?

Helloooo

So, I'd like new carpet buy don't want a large outlay, I'd like to break up the payments.

I thought, like DFS, there'd be plenty of "buy now/pay later" deals. However, the only company I've found is Allied carpets, no branches are located near me (North London).

Was wondering if anyone knew of any companies offering this.

Cheers,

    Companies that can offer 0% interest buy now pay later are not doing it as a charity. Yopu will get inferior carpets at over inflated prices and probably need to replace them while you are still paying for them. If you want to spread the cost, you may be better off getting a 0% credit card deal and buyng them that way at a decent rather than over inflated price.

    i agree entirely.
    you will sign up to a credit agreement. and you must pay within a strict time frame to get the zero interest.
    failure to do so will incur the full interest rate. which aint cheap. often 29% !
    the companies know that most punters dont pay within the time frame. miss it by just one day and you get clobbered.
    Get some gorm.
