By the time of the order shipment an installment plan should be paid in full. Therefore, an order would not be sent until the full settlement of installments.

In order to use this plan, you have to order at least 5 items of a single product. As a result, you can receive a 2-6 month installment plan (divide your payment into 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 parts). Your order will be completed during 1-6 weeks and can be shipped BEFORE the full settlement of the plan. To use this plan, please, provide information about the club this order is made for.
