The cashier was very nice. Very attentive to all customers, so it did take a little while to check out since the person in front of us was ordering 20 different balloons 😐 but he was super sweet and apologized for the wait when it came time to check us out.

Not really sure what’s happened to this location in the last 5 or so months but it’s awful now. Shelves not stocked, dirty store you name it. Dying store in a dying company I guess.

This place is slow. Easiest way to put it. One of the staff members just kept chatting it up with the other workers while she had McDonald’s for lunch. I just wanted to buy some balloons but they just kept talking about how they almost called off and how much they want to quit. What should have been a 6 min transaction took 15 min. Even one of the workers said I had been waiting for a while. At least they know as well.

I had the worst experience here the one on 76th and Western the salesperson did not even give me a chance all he did is kept telling me its a possible chance I wont get a car the worst experience in my life.40+ years ago I purchase a car through Car Credit and they was stealing my money and the finance company never got paid so they reposed my car.You would think after I shared this story with him that he would be more compassion and say what can I do lets try I know Car Credit had got a lot of complaints in the past

Inventory levels of key items were beyond disappointing! Shelves on almost each aisle were completely empty. Idk if this is an inventoru shipping issue or what, but I shouldnt have to store hop for basic party supplies. Party City used to be my go-to spot. This isnt the first time Ive had this experience at this location, but I wont waste my time in the future shopping here.

Not a good experience...find another storeNo help with questions lines long ...The young lady kept walking away from the counter not letting the Customers know that she will be returning. It seem as if no one wanted to work ..I wish that corporate would send a Secret shopper out to Observe there store. Definitely not a good experience.

I do understand our sourounding situation, but i was waited around 15 - 20 min just to get checked out. There were 3 employees at 1 time behind the counter tending to balloons or talking while one person was helping the customer in front of me...again, with balloons! Have one checkout for balloons and the other for general business. Just bad service.

Im keeping in mind that I went the day of Halloween, I know bad decision nevertheless.. The line was super long outside but moved quickly, once inside you have to get in a even longer line to get your costume after you pick the one you want off the wall all to get to the front Finally for them to have NOTHING.. WOW what a day that was..

Never ever again! I placed an order today for delivery between 1-2pm. By 4:00pm my order still had not arrived even though I got an email at 12 ish saying it was ready and see you soon. I call to check on the order, get no information but told they would call me back to check on the order. About an hour later, my husband calls...they leave him on hold forever. Only to be told they would have to check with the delivery driver and that could take up to an hour. So when were you going to say my order wasnt being delivered today? Never again

Review β„–45

All I can say is that this location was dirty and disorganized during my visit today. While picking up my online order (which was incomplete), the staff had a hard time finding my items. They found it among one of the many bags just sitting there all over some table, which may be their online pick up area? Who knows, no signs or anything indicating that.

I go there to get one thing. The balloon arch maker. Fabulous arch maker. This time I went, I wasnt so happy as the young black girl working there was not very helpful. After asking her for the arch maker. She told me they were out without even helping me to look for it. She was on her phone. I walked down the aisle to try and find it, thinking just maybe there might be one hiding, but I cdnt. I searched on both sides until I reached the end and then spotted another young lady who was eager to help me. She led me straight to the arch maker strips. There were loads of them and I purchased many. I buy them for my corporation and we spend loads of money here. It wd not have taken the 1st young lady 1 min to show me. In future, will go out of my way to find another party city before going back to this one. She really needs to learn Cust service skills. If she doesnt want to be there, find another job.Dissatisfied

Going to Party City was a challenge considering current circumstances, but this location had everyone as socially distant as possible. The cashier that waited on me was very pleasant and professional. She had a cheerful disposition and welcoming demeanor. I found what I needed and the wait time to check out wasnt too long. I will be going back.

Review β„–53

This store is horrible. They never updated my order when I clearly called to reschedule. I got to the store and my balloon order couldn’t be found. It took them 40 minutes to just say ok can you pick your balloons again to inflate them. They didn’t have the #6 for two weeks since I placed my order, still didn’t have it at time of pick up, they ended up using a 9 upside down and taped the little flops.The workers have zero ethic and walk around with no sense of customer service. Terrible service.

People here work SLOW! They like taking their time none the less don’t care about the line.Knowing students graduate from all grades and levels, but only have 2 cashiers open !!! Ridiculously slow I can’t put in other words. Don’t spend money here, you’ll spend most of your time there instead.

Horrible, rude staffPlaces an order online, called to confirmed if they had my item in stock. I can hear the 2 staff members talking and said just cancel the order we don’t have time to deal with her. Came back to the line and told me to wait for my order confirmation when it will be ready for pick up. Couple minutes later, received an email that my order was canceled. Rude & ignorant staff!! If I can give this store zero stars I would.

Placed an order for curbside pick-up. Never received any confirmation for if the order was ready. Was calling the store and never got an answer. Just went up to the store and my order was just sitting there. Manager claim to look into why I never received an email but I highly doubt that.

You call yourself β€œParty City” for a reason. Why do I have to wait 1 hour for you to inflate 1 overpriced ballon? It takes three seconds! For all your party needs simply save yourself the stress and go across the street. The dollar store will have everything in stock and at a much cheaper price!

I placed an order for pick up and they canceled it without telling me, and only told me when I got there. 10 minutes after I left, thats when I got an email about the cancelation. It had said there was no more (Santa hats) in stock, but when I went to go outside the store there were 6 of them on the wall on sale.

Review β„–90

Service is good. You can definitely find everything you need for any kind of party. The downside is that some things are pretty expensive you can get them cheaper other places. The giant shiny numbers are $1.99 not inflated but if you order them behind the counter and with helium they are $9.99 each! Also the balloons that are loose under the counter by the cashiers are .30 each not inflated BUT if you go in the aisle where its all by color you can find a bag of 50 balloons for $3.99 they also have a bag of 5,10,15, and 20 with different balloon sizes that are WAY cheaper than the ones under the counter. You just have to look dont go for the very first thing you see.

The store stated on website that they had number balloons in stock, in pink. I ordered online . Paid with credit card. The store contacted me, left a message, and stated that they did not in fact have that balloon in their inventory and asked me to call back. I have tried to call back now for 3 hours and no one is answering the phone. I even contacted corporate office who told me β€œjust wait a little while and try back later”. Keep in mind I have to pick up this balloon order tomorrow and this party city location is 45 mins from my house. Terrible customer service.

Review β„–99

I found most of the things I was looking for, but the section I was looking for the most was almost empty. It looked like they hadnt restocked that section yet. Another issue was that they only had one cashier and the line was getting long, but the young lady at the register did a good job of moving the line as quickly as she could. Overall I would shop here again.

In and out this store for some reason I find that this place can be a bit pricey.. And sometimes you cant find what you are looking for.. The customer service can be great when you can get some one to help you..I stop at this place when I really have to.. But you can shop online and have your order sent to the store or home.
