PC Richard & Son's bill pay option and how to use it

PC Richard & Son, the electronics retailer with stores across the Northeast, lets you pay your bill through their website or by phone. You do not need to set up a separate bill pay service — you pay directly to PC Richard & Son using the payment method you choose at checkout. This works whether you have a PC Richard & Son credit card, a regular credit or debit card, or a bank account.

The most common reason to use this is if you bought something on a PC Richard & Son credit card and want to make a payment before your statement due date, or if you financed a purchase through their in-store financing option and need to send a payment. You can also pay an outstanding balance if you have one from a previous purchase.

Key Takeaways

  • PC Richard & Son payments go directly to the retailer, not through a third-party bill pay system, so you pay them the same way you would any online merchant.
  • You can pay online through their website, by phone, or in person at a store location.
  • Payments made online or by phone typically post within one to two business days, though this depends on your bank and the time of day you submit.
  • If you have a PC Richard & Son credit card, you can also set up automatic payments through your card issuer's bill pay system.

Paying online through the PC Richard & Son website

Go to the PC Richard & Son website and look for a "Pay My Bill" or "Make a Payment" link, usually found in the footer or under an account section. You will need to enter your account number or the email address associated with your account. Once you log in or verify your identity, you can enter the amount you want to pay and choose your payment method.

PC Richard & Son accepts credit cards, debit cards, and bank account transfers. If you use a debit card or bank account, the payment is typically processed within one to two business days. Credit card payments may post faster, sometimes the same day, but this depends on when you submit and your card issuer's processing schedule. Keep your confirmation number for your records.

Paying by phone

You can call PC Richard & Son's customer service line to make a payment over the phone. Have your account number ready, along with the payment method you want to use. A representative will walk you through the process and provide you with a confirmation number once the payment is submitted.

Phone payments are processed the same way as online payments — typically one to two business days for bank accounts or debit cards. If you are calling close to a due date and worried about timing, ask the representative when the payment will post and whether it will count toward your current billing cycle.

Paying in person at a store

You can walk into any PC Richard & Son location and make a payment at the customer service desk. Bring your account number and a form of payment. In-store payments are often processed when ready or the same day, which can be useful if you are close to a due date and want to may support the payment posts quickly.

Not all locations may offer this service, so call ahead to confirm. Some stores may have different hours for customer service, so you may not be able to pay at the register during regular shopping hours.

Setting up automatic payments

If you have a PC Richard & Son credit card, you can set up automatic payments through your credit card issuer's bill pay system. Log into your card issuer's website or app, add PC Richard & Son as a payee, and schedule recurring payments for the amount and date you choose. This works the same way as setting up automatic payments for any other bill.

Automatic payments reduce the risk of missing a due date, but make sure you have enough money in your account on the payment date. If a payment fails due to insufficient funds, it may result in a late fee or impact to your credit. You can change or cancel automatic payments anytime through your card issuer's system.

What to do if your payment does not post

If you made a payment and it has been more than two business days and it still has not shown up on your account, contact PC Richard & Son customer service with your confirmation number. They can look up the payment and tell you its status. Sometimes payments are delayed due to bank processing times, especially if you paid from a bank account rather than a card.

If the payment was rejected, PC Richard & Son will usually contact you to let you know why — often because the card was declined or the account information was incorrect. Check your email and any messages from the company. If you do not hear anything after three business days, call to confirm the payment went through.

Understanding PC Richard & Son financing and payment plans

If you financed a large purchase through PC Richard & Son — for example, a TV or appliance — you may have a separate financing account through a third-party lender like Synchrony or Comenity. In that case, you do not pay PC Richard & Son directly; you pay the financing company. Your bill will come from the lender, not the store, and you should pay through their website or by phone instead.

Check your financing agreement or your first bill statement to see which company is handling the loan. The payment instructions will be on that statement. If you are unsure, call PC Richard & Son customer service and they can tell you which lender holds your financing account and provide you with contact information.

Is there a fee to pay my bill online or by phone?
