An in-store visit in August; needing multiple balloons to commemorate a special day.. My experience…read morewas brutally bad. The manager seemed the most competent but why wasn't she helping customers? The store was fully staffed on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Which is surprising given that COVID-19 is still on-going and people aren't out quite as much in that area. The parking lot near them was empty and quiet. (Not the case across the lot by Trader Joe's. Which was crowded due to social distancing. They had a long line of customers waiting to get in.) Inside Party city, the employees talked amongst themselves and the "feel" is that everything is tediously slow. If a tumbleweed rolled through the store, that would be more thrilling than receiving their assistance. I needed Holy communion balloons. One cashier sent me searching down an aisle. It was ten minutes to close and had she helped me I could have been out of there faster. In any case I found two options and needed a recommendation. Something that could work and something utterly tacky. Asking employees for their opinions on balloon choice was ridiculous. One person didn't bother responding and the other asked whether it's for a girl. One of my options were pink balloons but were awfully tacky. I think if a person identifies as Catholic and a baby, they might. Hard MIGHT like that design. I got the decent one. Went back to the cashier and asked how much inflation service could cost and dude says 15 cents each. Score!** Here I'm thinking, might as well inflate 10-20 pieces given the low rate. **Moments later when the items are rung I realize he was incorrect. It's $1.20 per balloon... Seriously.. I ended up spending some $30+ dollars for balloons. Which, to any Party city employee or parent knowing how to stretch a dollar, is utterly ridiculous. The best deal is to buy a mini tank of helium which when paired with balloons is the best buy you could hope for. Having the tank means, you can make balloons for any number of parties in the future till the tank runs out. Surf reviews and you'll see a trend. When in doubt or in a pinch, try to get the store manager to help you. If management is reading this; advanced training or exercises to train staff in encountering customers is necessary. It's the basics.. the welcome greeting, how may I assist you, actively participating in aiding the customer rather than sending them in a direction. Helping customers rather than talking with their co-workers. Just recently I needed party supplies for a gathering in a nearby suburb. But because of this last visit, I just wanted a simpler shopping experience. So, I opted for a nearby city location rather than visiting here which would have been more convenient.

IMHO customer service since Covid has been severely lacking and I've been getting despondent about how miserable or bored service providers seem to have got. However visiting yesterday gave me faith that just maybe the future of retail might be getting brighter. The person at the register was responsive, polite, helpful and offered suggestions. I had another query and whilst I left my daughter at the register whilst our items were ringing up, I quickly found another advisor to ask a question. He immediately knew what I was looking for and walked me to the aisle but said he thought I may have to go elsewhere as they don't have much demand for it (edible glitter!) Free delivery of balloons if you spend over $50 which is wonderful and was booked in there and then. As a mum, I'm running around like a crazy thing and it's so great to have at least one 'chore' made easy. Thanks guys

My experience was terrible. I spent $16.49 on 2 pks. of Warbling Bird Whistles. They were very…read morecheap and didn't make a bird sound as described, just kinda a whistle, but not even that, a faint whistle. Not at all the quality of the one I had when I was a kid (1980's). So, then I had to pay to send them back (out of pocket ($8.10), plus they didn't refund the original shipping ($5.99). So, I spent $10.50 for the merchandise + $5.99 shipping + $8.10 to send it back = $24.59 I waited for a credit back to my debit card and didn't get it after abouta month, so called them. He said the return of $10.50 was sitting in the account I had with them. I requested that it be transferred back to my checkingand he said yes, he could do that. So, I paid them a net of $14.59 for absolutely nothing!

It had been a hot minute since I'd been to a Hallmark shop, so it was a treat to revisit the familiar warmth. I had a very specific need of finding a birthday card, but I ended up looking around the store to browse thru longer than I had planned. Definitely tons more cards to choose from compared to any other shops. I loved how the sections were labeled by proper occasions as well as your target audience. Wife Birthday was the first section I visited, then moved onto general Birthday section, where I found and decided on series of Funny Birthday cards. There were a couple adorable cat themed ones that had music and sound attached, but they were going to cost me double the normal prices, so I decided against it. I still like the one I picked out. :-) Ladies at the counter were all very attentive and pleasant. I don't know how often I'd come back to shop, but I got reeled into signing up for their rewards program. If I ever need to find small cute gifts for my girls, I'll definitely remember to visit.
