To use Pay later or Pay later in 3 you must be at least 18. Whilst this option is widely promoted, Pay later is subject to your financial circumstances. When choosing Pay later or Pay later in 3, our assessment will not affect your credit rating.

Klarna is unique and offers Pay later or Pay later in 3 based on a number of factors such as the order value, previous order history and item availability. If you are 18 or over, you can improve your chances of being offered Pay later or Pay later in 3 by ensuring you provide your full name and accurate address details and shipping to your registered billing address. All orders are assessed individually. Just because you have had Pay later or Pay later in 3 before does not mean it will be offered for every order and in turn, as it is denied does not mean it will be denied for all future orders.

Klarna may run so-called unrecorded enquiries (or soft credit searches) that do not affect credit scoring and are only visible to you and Klarna, but not visible to other lenders. Neither Klarna nor BHS run credit searches against you that could impact your credit rating.

Although Pay later or Pay later in 3 is widely promoted it is not always universally available.

You can pay with debit or credit card immediately in the checkout or take advantage of our Pay later payment option, where you can pay for the goods once you have received them via credit card or debit card. What happens if I cancel or return my order? As soon as BHS have accepted your cancellation/return, then Klarna will cancel the statement or refund your payment.

Payment is due 30 days after the item is shipped. To help you pay on time, we'll alert you two days before payment is due – you'll receive email reminders to pay – and, if very late, we’ll also send you a text or letter, too. If you fail to pay Klarna for your order, your credit score will be affected.

You have 30 days to pay, so you don’t need to pay right away. If your due date is near and there is no sign of your goods, please call BHS to check on delivery. You can also contact Klarna’s Customer Service so that we can postpone the due date on your payment.

As soon as the store has registered your cancellation or your return, the refund will be processed within 5 business days.
