Horrible service
April 14, 2022

I spent almost $100 on party supplies in seperate orders. The last order I placed I realized had the wrong address on the confirmation email, so I call them and the girl just flat out tells me there's nothing they can do. I get upset and hang up but then think how unfair that is so I call back to talk to the supervisor, who also doesn't care at all and cancels the order but doesn't offer to place it with my same discounts applied. Overall, super rude and no value in their customers 0% satisfied!

No lick lollipops
February 11, 2019

Can't lick broken lollipops and no one will respond to me. Stay far away because if you ever want customer service, it's not here. I have attached a couple pictures and pictures, doesn't show all that were broken but I took a picture of enough to show what they look like.

No response!
June 6, 2019

I used birthday express for years. Pretty typical cheap, cute party supplies. Usually an item or two comes in broken but I never worried about it before. This last order several items came in broken. I emailed them and got a response but no action. I sent pictures of the damages- no response. I have emailed them several times since checking in- no response. Not impressed! Their customer service sucks! That is all.

Does no respond to emails when asked a question about one of their products, phone number does not work, terrible way to run a company, they deserve to fail. Been buying from this company for several years but as of today... not any more.

I have bought from these guys several times. They short ship constantly and don't respond to customer emails. Have had to file complaints with my bank and stop ordering. This company shouldn't be in business. Horrible service and doesn't ship what customers pay for.

Its a scam
April 23, 2022

Pinata came head smashed on side the pieces ripped off. It was so small the bag of candy was bigger. Didnt come with the stick or the eye cover you pay for and they want you to pay for return shipping cost! Such a bad purchase. Go to party city or even walmart dont purchase from this company

Great Experience
November 27, 2018

I was a bit hesitant on choosing them due to some of the negative reviews, but the prices were great and I thought I would give them a try. My order arrived on time (earlier than expected actually) and all items were in great shape and accounted for. I saved over $20 going with Birthday Express and my overall experience was great.

The worst experience ever
September 20, 2018

I attempted to order party supplies for my sons third birthday. Two weeks in advance. I never received my order. They proceeded to tell me my money would be refunded and it never was. This company sucks!

Horrible company
January 19, 2022

I ordered a piñata with the decoration, arrived two days before my son's birthday completely destroyed because they put it in a smaller box, obviously to save money, when I called to make the return they only accepted the piñata and I had to pay the returnt is the worst company, do not order anything with those people

I ordered a centerpiece for a birthday party, but was sent a small, blue gift bag, instead. I reached out to the company, but never received a response. DO NOT order anything from this company. They take your money, send you the wrong item, and never respond to your inquiries!

Very poor customer service
July 1, 2021

If you expect to receive quality customer service look for a different company to order your party decor from. I made an order and decided to go a different route tried canceling order within 24 hrs and was told once order is placed I am all pretty much SOL and if I wanted to I could pay 39 dollars for return shipping when I already paid 39 dollars to ship it and the item was 22 dollars so I guess your supposed to just take a loss. Pretty much if you order from them it's a loose loose situation I gave them one star but would prefer to give them no stars.

FedEx failed to ship my stuff per contacting Birthday Express they promised to ship my stuff again by June 22 and they did not re -delivered my items eventhough I contacted them many times letting them know hiw FedEx had fail to deliver. More than 7-10 business days later and still no refund, no birthday supplies, and no help from a give $#*! company that has lied to me all along.

This has been the worst experience in a long time. We placed an order for our kids first birthday couple of weeks before the event. I should admit they did send all the stuff in time but just to the wrong address. I have been contacting their customer support since the last 1 week but they just respond with the same phrase "Someone's gonna contact you soon". They have no idea who is gonna contact, when or what the next step is.

It has been an embarrassment as we are stuck here 2 days before the event and none of the stuffs we ordered is with us and now we have to go look around stores to find a replacement for such a major event.

Order from them at your own risk and if you have some money to waste!

They FALSELY ADVERTISE and THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXTREMELY RUDE! I ordered "realistic" cat plushies and the ones they sent were NOT the ones pictured online. (I've attached the photos, first is what they were SUPPOSED to look like, the second are the ones I got) There was no disclaimer; no message saying the items may look different than pictured. The ones they sent were cheaply made from the Oriental Trading Company! I called and they sent me the wrong cats AGAIN! At this point, my daughter's birthday party is RUINED! The nasty, rude customer service supervisor, Jo Dean, refused to refund my money, refused to connect me to a higher supervisor, and insisted she would not lose her job over her attitude. BOTTOM LINE: A LOUSY COMPANY WITH TERRIBLE, RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! JUST GO TO PARTY CITY!

Stay away!
May 22, 2019

First off, they have two different websites with different names, which I didn't realize until after I ordered from both sites because one of the sites was out of stock of a few items that I needed for my kids birthdays. I paid for two day shipping on both orders. One of the orders says it won't be delivered until four days after when it's supposed to be delivered and the other order still hasn't even shipped and they're both supposed to be delivered today. I've emailed and emailed them trying to get someone to help me, with no response from EITHER website. So now I'm out of $60, half of which was spent just for shipping AND MY ITEMS WONT EVEN BE DELIVERED ON TIME, and I won't have some of the most important things I needed for my kids parties.

October 14, 2015

Ordered 2 packages of lollipops for a Birthday party. My guests at the party noticed that they lollipops were several months expired. I'm sure not dangerous to eat but still. Sent 3 emails and received no response, or refund. Terrbile company and I will NEVER do business with them again, Buyer beware!

Needed help to confirm whether or not an order went through. The male representative refused to help me. And then when I asked if there was another rep that I could speak to, he demanded to know why and proceeded to bully me. Have never seen anything like it in my life. Guess they aren't worried about losing customers. Really, really bad customer service people. I wish I could give NO stars.

Horrible!
March 5, 2015

Placed an order for first birthday. It was guaranteed to be delivered on 3-3. Well guess what it never came. Called on the 3rd is was still in warehouse called on the 4th still in warehouse called the first time on the 5th the lady said the shipping label had been printed and it would be shipped overnight. Called back on the 5th at 6pm and a different person told me it was still in warehouse. So now I am one day away from party with no supplies. Also refund takes 3-5 business days. Also they knew they were having problems meeting deadlines but no one informed the buyers of this!

Find another place!
June 19, 2018

I ordered items for my grandson's first birthday. I paid $10 extra to have items sent faster. I called when they did not arrive at promised date. They said they had mistakenly shipped it regular mail and it wouldn't arrive before party. They promised to refund my $10 and send shipping labels when items arrived for free shipping. Now they say refund will take 5-10 business days and shipping labels take 24 hours before emailed. Wow... they collected by money the day I ordered. Very dissatisfied!

I order a complete party in a box on 2-24. I noticed on my confirmation that my custom birthday banner wasn't customized, but I was charged for it. So I called them. I waited on the phone for 55 mins and no one ever answered. I called back 4 more times and still NOTHING. I sent 3 different emails trying to get the banner fixed was told to call the useless line OR order the banner again and they would "try" to refund the money. Forget that a billion dollars couldn't make me order from them again. Today I called their corporate office and for the first time was able to speak to a representative, who was no help AT ALL. She told me she would transfer my call to her supervisor, whom you can imagine never answered. I left a voice mail and he has yet to call back. I was guaranteed to have my product on the 5th of March. That day came and went and I still haven't received anything. I will never shop here again & i feel bad for anyone who does!
