Toys R' Us delivers latest layaway letdown

First word came this week that Kmart cancelled layaway orders. Now there are reports Toys R' Us has done the same.

In both cases, the retailers blamed the cancellations on lack of inventory.

A mother of three found out the hard way. She had been paying off the toys she bought from Toys R' Us in September.

She paid in full but noticed online that her orders have been cancelled.

In a statement Toys R' Us said: "there could be some cancellations or hot items on back order, but being a toy retailer we take that responsibility very seriously."
