Ohhhh, Halloween Express. I want to love you, but you give me a headache.
Yes, this place has a huge variety of costumes. In most situations you should be able to find what you need - that just wasn't the case for me.
The first time I stopped in, I just needed a pair of butterfly wings. I made the mistake of not taking them out of the bag and checking them out, but when I got home and did, the wings were completely faulty and didn't even stay up with the built-in shoulder straps. I ended up grabbing a new set from Party City that worked much better.
The second time, we stopped by to look for a toddler's shark costume that we saw on their website. A staff member helped us look, but we weren't seeing it, and he kind of just wandered away instead of helping us continue to search for it. We ended up checking with another staff member at the register who helped us look online, and he also wasn't much help. When we asked when it would arrive by, he just gave us a blank look and said "I don't know... probably by Halloween, but I don't know." Alrighty...
There are a lot of fun choices here, but double-check the quality and don't go looking for something very specific, even if it's on the website. And prepare to fend for yourself. read more
