Cost way to much
September 7, 2019

I bought in my own balloons thinking they could fill them up for me at a reasonable price and each balloon was rung up at 5.99 which would me my total would be like $60 or something dollars for air. What a load of CRAP. Not going back.

Prices for Halloween costumes are crazy like $70 dollars for a costume we only wear once is insane.So party city if you want to keep your customers then you better lower the prices to reasonable prices like $15 to $30 with taxes. So either fix it and give us these kinds of prices or lose all your Business the choice is yours better make the one that will keep you in business.

Thank you so much to the BEST customer service EVER. The GM Mike I believe his name is. He was very patient with us doing our wedding invitations. He helped us in so many ways. I can't express how much he has helped us out. Thank you to the GM for all your help. I tell ppl about his business and will be telling ppl to go there.
Thank you Christine and Keith Gerhard..

I purchased graduation balloons and other decorations for my son's party and had the balloons delivered the morning g of the party. The delivery person must have put a hole in the large helium balloon and the air was out within 30 minutes. I did not have time to go to the store to get another balloon as guests would soon be arriving. I called Party City and the manager promptly delivered an entire new balloon bouquet just in time for the party! Not only was a bouquet delivered but they gave me a much better bouquet than I had originally ordered! I was very pleased with the prompt attention, care, and service that I received!

They have come a long way with customer service lately. The next day delivery is amazing and if there is an issue with your order, they make it top priority to fix it as quickly as possible. They even gave me extra balloons and decorations for my trouble even though it was no trouble at all because they resolved the issue in no time.
P.S. This is the absolute best place for Halloween supplies and costumes!
Customer for life!

For 2 days in a row, I made an online purchase with a will call at different locations, since each store had different inventory of what I needed. Both times, when I drove to the store to pick up my order, the orders were incomplete because they were out of stock of some of the items. Not only does their online inventory not match what the stores have; no one at the store called to tell me it was unavailable.

MAKE SITE BETTER!
June 13, 2023

This site sucks. I can't even review my items that i purchased; the page jumps; and when looking things up sometimes it is difficult. The prices p*ss me off! Used to be cheaper for the cheap things. Balloons are ridiculous. Why are we being charged that much? Especially a party store, and for cheap balloons?!

I ordered something from this site because it showed it would be in several days before I needed it. Then tracking didn't track...didn't track...days later it finally tracks and will be THREE DAYS LATE! Now I can't even get this from somewhere else. I contact customer service and was told that the date it should is the SOONEST it would arrive. Wow! Never order from them again!

Horrible Company!
October 23, 2019

I ordered a costume for my son on Sunday. I was suppose to have it by Thursday. I call company to get tracking and it is now USPS priority when my confirmation email clearly says UPS Ground. They have no idea if/when I will get my costume and I can't even cancel the order now. Calling in is a joke as they keep directing you to go online and send an email, which I did to no response! Now I get to break it to my son that his costume probably won't be here in time :( Never again

It is impossible to edit a return once it has been submitted into the system. If you choose to ship it yourself as opposed to the $7.00 UPS option there is no going back. I chatted and called customer service - all said they were unable to cancel my return so that I could change my return option.
Make sure you are absolutely sure before submitting your return option.

Horrible experience
October 27, 2017

I placed an order on 10/13/17. Though they took payment immediately, I was informed that the could not provide 2 items I ordered. It is now 10/27/17, and I still don't have a refund for those items (though I was told it would go back on my card in 3-5 business days). Now they will not respond to my emails. I should have shopped at Wal Mart. They carry the exact items for 1/2 The price.

Really! Saturday morning I go in for 1 balloon. There are 3 people off to the side filling balloons for orders. I understand that. I pay for my 1 balloon and asked to wait. Meanwhile this one person that I purchased my balloon from needs tho check out everyone in line and answer all of the phone calls from people to see if their order is ready for pick up. OK I browse the store keep checking to see if my balloon is being filled. Nope. Now had I not paid $13 for this balloon of a large #2, I would have probably said forget this and left. 40 yes 40 min later the person asked for help. I finally got my balloon. Advice - don't go to Party City on a Saturday needing 1 balloon.

Bought 7 princess helium balloons. One lost helium right away. Took it back and they basically said too bad and wouldn't do anything about it even when the other 6 were fine. Also very rude as I guess if you have a monopoly in this market, you can be rude.

2 Workers this past Saturday time 11:45 am. were in charge of the balloons were rude and mad about short staff. When I checked out after purchasing 2 balloons I was told it was 2 hr wait. Cashier suggested I take the balloons to pop shelf store to fill up if I did not want to wait. I will never shop there again.

The service was very poor. No visible lines open atcheckout. One gentleman told us we were in the wrong line and go to another register but never bothered to help us check out. We decided to put our stuff back and leave. In these tough economical times, it's a shame that businesses treat customers this way.

They are The worst about advertising customizing supplies. I was charged immediately, but my order was never sent out. For weeks I waited for my sons graduation customized items,& of course it never came in time. I wasn't given a direct answer after calling the customer service line Several times, they lied about sending emails to verify with me, there's no communication within the making, warehouse,& shipping they are clueless and don't know how their own system works. I asked for a refund and that yet still won't happen until the find my order in their warehouse system. I will never purchase with them again.!

Ordered my daughter her costume using a coupon and they had a free shipping deal going. So we got a deluxe costume, wig and all, for 15 dollars no shipping costs and to top it off it arrived days earlier than anticipated shipment date and my daughter is in love! Thanks Party City!
