How are payments structured?
Our minimum payment schedule is determined by the amount of purchase:
(* The balance due the Showcase may not exceed $1300)
Note: for bi-weekly employees, payments are taken from the second payroll in the month.
You may opt to repay the purchase amount in fewer deductions, but you may not spread your deductions over more months than the schedule allows. For example, you could request a $300 balance to be re-paid in one month, but you may not request a $500 balance to be spread over four months.
How do I make a down payment?
The down payment is collected at the time you pick up your merchandise. We require down payments be paid by credit card, cash, or cashiers check (sorry, no personal checks). You can elect to pay as much down as you choose, as long as you meet the minimum requirement.

Under what circumstances might a Payroll Deduction request be denied?
The Computer Showcase reserves the right to deny a payroll deduction agreement to any customer who has not met his/her payment obligations to the Showcase in the past, who has provided us with false or misleading employment information, violated University rules regarding the resale of Showcase products, opened more than one contract at a time, or created exceptional demands on Showcase staff with regard to billing, product returns, or other problems.
What do I need to do to complete a purchase?
We'll need to see your current UMID and you will be required to sign our payroll deduction agreement form. Down payment, if required, must be paid by credit card, cash, or cashiers check (sorry, no personal checks). If you received confirmation of an online request, just let a cashier know; your product(s) should be ready for pick-up. Merchandise must be in stock at the time we complete a sale.
Do I have to complete an online request or can I simply walk in and request payroll deduction in person at the Showcase?
Yes, you can still walk in and make this request. However, we need to verify your employment and that's not always possible after
