Light up pool ball
May 15, 2020

I liked it, but it doesn't work under the sun. Besides that though, it's beautiful. If I'm not swimming at night, I put it in my room as decoration. It works great at night and in the dark. 7/10. Yes!

TERRIBLE
October 8, 2021

I orderd a large order of hats on September 16. I sent multiple emails and called multiple time and the man didn't help me at all. All he gave were excuses. I am very disappointed. And I tried calling and now Im not getting a response.

Arrived, but very late
October 5, 2021

I received my order, but it was about two weeks after I got an email saying to expect it within 48 hours. I tried to contact the company 72 hours after the email but never got any response, so I gave up and ordered a replacement from Amazon.

Amazon's replacement turned out to be worse (leaky glowsticks), so I am glad that glowsource.com's order did eventually arrive, but I wish they'd been more communicative. A two week delay, particularly In These Times, is quite acceptable, but being told "it will show up in 48 hours, contact us if it doesn't" and then not responding to the contact is unsettling.

I ordered blinking hats for an event and 3 days before they sent instead a baby hat. I emailed them why this was happening and they said they would resend the hats. The day of the event I asked where this order was, and they said that they could never get a seller. Instead of telling the truth, they lied to me and caused an incredible amount of stress because of their lack of ethics. Please do not shop from this site.

Pink Cowboy Hat
October 2, 2020

The product came in a box that was too small so the hat was smashed. The hat lights up and the switch on the inside was not glued down so it's hanging which makes it uncomfortable to wear. Also the product was $9 and change and the shipping was the same price

Zero stars if it were possible
September 14, 2023

BEWARE! And don't order from this site unless you want to get ripped off. My receipt says they ship 24 hours after the order is received. I placed an order over 3 weeks ago and have tried contacting the company numerous times via voicemail, text, and chat. After leaving 7 messages someone finally texted me a week later with an excuse that they had a quality issue but would get my order in the mail immediately, the very next day. That was a week ago. When I reached out to inquire about the tracking number or delivery date , no one will return my messages. I could have ordered from a different shop and received my stuff by now. Not only will my party not have the decorations I ordered, now I have to go through my credit card company and submit a fraudulent charge claim to get my money back. Customer service is non-existant. NOT WORTH IT. Save yourself a headache and shop somewhere else. They pretend they can't take your call or answer your message because THEY ARE SO BUSY HELPING OTHER CUSTOMERS...hAHAHA! How many people really buy glow stuff, ever? First time in my life and I still have yet to purchase anything successfully. If this is how they do business like this I can't imagine they have ANY customers. I'm starting to doubt if it is even a real company.

Service
February 18, 2021

I ordered a lightsaber and it was damaged so I emailed them and sent it back and I have yet to receive anything in 90 days or even be contacted so I think action needs to be taken against glow source.

Graduation parade!
June 10, 2020

2020 was a heck of a year and for our high school seniors it was even more so! Luckily my sons school put on a graduation parade and through the parade we were able to shoot the color bombs off! It was awesome!

August 5, 2020

Ordered quite a few LED pool items for my sons 16th birthday in September. I opened 1 of everything just to try them out, and I was ecstatic with the quality and results of the products! I was extremely surprised by the brightness of all the items! Ill be posting additional reviews and pics after the party :)

My order arrived very quickly and it was packed very well. A charging cable was not in the order, so I contacted customer service. They were extremely helpful and sent me the part immediately. Probably the best customer service I have ever seen! You have a great company!

If you want honest, trustworthy business people with your success in mind, GlowSource is the way to go. Sure, they are not the cheapest, but do you really want cheap products? They have an above average quality with 1000s of items to choose from. Quality! Two thumbs up from a trusted vendor.

NEW TIP JAR!
December 10, 2022

Cannot WAIT to use this at our gigs! I designed decals to apply to it with our band's logo on one side and a "TIPS" phrase on the opposite side. It looks GREAT! Hope this brings us A LOT of TIPS! :)

Their website says "If you select "Next Day Delivery", Online orders prior to 2pm will be shipped and delivered the next day, however if it is from 2pm forward, it will be considered as ordered next day and shipped the following day. So I orders prior to 2pm and paid the highest shipping Next Day which cost around $40, but it turned out that instead of my expected delivery of April 29th, the delivery won't happen until May 1st. I had to call and ask for a refund because my niece's bday was April 29th. The lady I spoke with felt sorry for what happened and all she promised me was she will make sure that she will have it delivered on April 30th instead of May 1st and that my shipping cost will be refunded. I am still waiting for the refund.Other than the wrong information on shipping, the products are well loved. I will order here again.

Cowboy hat
September 17, 2020

I love it, it takes a while to light up completely and a bit of the crown came off already. But I'm so happy with my purchase and it was good money sent
