I cannot say enough nice things about Allen! Our washing machine quit unexpectedly and he was able to get us home with a brand new matching washer and dryer at a really affordable price! We talk to him personally each time we make a payment and he is genuinely so nice. We will absolutely be customers so long as Mr. Allen is there!

They got very done quuuickly and took the extra cardboard and plastic to the dumpster. They were very friendly and professional.i will definitely use the company again if I ever have a need for furniture quickly. My husband died very unexpectedly and I had family coming in from Florida, they solved a difficult problem quickly and helped make room for more family to come and stay with us on a comfortable bed and accessories. Thanks Buddy's for making us feel wonderful in the very sad , difficult situation. Great job guys...

Stores here include Buddy's Home Furnishings (1925 Oleander Dr Ste B), Best (37 S Kerr Ave), Rent-A-Center (351 S College Rd), Aaron's (825 S 17Th St).

North Carolina regulates rent-to-own under North Carolina Rental-Purchase Agreement Act. The law gives you an early purchase option (Consumer may purchase the property at any time by paying 60% of the remaining periodic payments plus any past-due amounts.), required written disclosure of the cash price, total cost, and payment count before you sign.

How it works here

Most stores don't require a traditional credit check. Approval is typically based on proof of income, a valid ID, and proof of residence, often the same day.

What to bring when visiting a rent-to-own store

Most stores in Wilmington will ask for the following to get started.

Valid Photo ID

Driver's license, state ID, or passport

Proof of Income

Recent pay stub, bank statement, or benefits letter

Proof of Residence

Utility bill, lease agreement, or bank statement with address

References

Typically 3-4 personal references with phone numbers

Most stores don't require a traditional credit check.

Rent-to-own agreements commonly include return options, but timing, fees, item condition, and remaining obligations vary. In North Carolina, stores are required to offer an early purchase option. Requirements vary by store. Call ahead to confirm.

Shopping for rent-to-own in Wilmington

Getting the best deal on rent-to-own takes a little preparation. Here are tips to help you make an informed decision at any of the 4 stores in Wilmington.

Compare stores side by side

Use the comparison table above to compare stores side by side, rated by customers, with products and contact info in one view.

Ask about early purchase options

Every rent-to-own agreement should include an early purchase option (EPO). Ask the store how much you can save by buying the item outright before the full lease term ends. The earlier you buy, the more you save.

Check store hours before you go

Hours can vary by location and may change on holidays. Call ahead or check the store listings above to confirm the store is open before making the trip. Many stores close earlier on weekends.

Read reviews from other customers

Customer reviews can reveal important details about service quality, delivery experience, and staff helpfulness. Check ratings on each store listing and click through for detailed reviews.

Estimate your total cost

Use the VRTO calculator to estimate your total rent-to-own cost before you visit. Knowing the full cost upfront helps you compare options and budget effectively.

Know your rights

Rent-to-own is generally structured as a lease with an option to own. Return rights and obligations vary by agreement and state. North Carolina has consumer protection laws governing RTO transactions. Ask the store for a copy of your agreement before signing.

North Carolina law

What North Carolina law gives you before you sign

North Carolina regulates rent-to-own under North Carolina Rental-Purchase Agreement Act, and the rules are the same at every store in the state. Before you sign, the store has to put the cash price, the total cost to own the item, and the number of payments in front of you, so the real number is never buried in the fine print. Rent-to-own is a lease and not a loan, so there is no interest rate, and returning the item does not go on your credit.

This is a plain summary, not legal advice. Read your own agreement and confirm the terms with the store.

North Carolina Rental-Purchase Agreement Act N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 25A-43 to 25A-53
Disclosure requirements Must disclose total number and amount of payments, total cost, cash price, payment schedule, and early purchase option.
Early buyout rights Consumer may purchase the property at any time by paying 60% of the remaining periodic payments plus any past-due amounts.
