I had some items missing from my order, so emailed to ask for replacement or refund on these items. For both the online form and emailing directly, I did not receive any reply. This is unacceptable. Avoid this company.

Non existent customer service
I received my order however it was missing 4 tablecloths (I didn’t receive any) and 3 packs of DIY crowns (also didn’t receive any). I got a random balloon that I didn’t order.
I then submitted a query via the website and got no response. Sent an email the following Friday, waited 48 working hours as per all their comments for a reply and still nothing!!!
Walked off with my money. I just wish I’d read these reviews before ordering.
Either refund me or send me the missing items!!

Chaotic, incompetent or dishonest?
Party Delights accepted my order. I chased and was told they were having problems having moved warehouse and would refund me. Then they notified me my order had been dispatched and they would send a return label. Eventually I opened a disputed payment via my bank - at that point they said they could no longer refund me but would wait on the banks process. I’m not clear if they are chaotic, incompetent, dishonest or all three but I’d strongly recommend not doing business with them. 8 weeks after placing an order I have neither the goods nor the promised refund.

Echoing comments previously made
EDIT - So even though I was promised a response to my email which I do not have (I’m assuming this reply to my review was classed as the reply ) I have received a refund for the missing item . However your reply to the world also offered me the shipping cost back which I have not been refunded . Just to keep my review real - it was a nice gesture to have been offered a refund the shipping cost but do not portray to the world that this is what you will do if you have no intention of doing so .
DO NOT ORDER ! Echoing comments previously made. Order arrived after the party so no longer required and in separate packages . Utterly useless! Final package was missing one item which I am still waiting for a response about . Refund has been requested for the missing item and will not be ordering from here again . Lost repeat custom from me after this I’m
Afraid . Also doesn’t allow different delivery options such as next day on some items … pointless . I could have travelled the whole perimeter of the country and back quicker than these items took to arrive . Take notice of these reviews. These companies always have an “excuse” lined up ready to spiel but I’m sorry I don’t believe a word . I would like a refund please or I will report to trading standards.

Hi Lindsey.
Thank you for your recent review.
We are so sorry to read about your experience and sincerely apologise for the disappointment and frustration this has caused.
We do ship from multiple warehouses which is why orders can come in separate packages, this way it can get to the customer quicker than waiting for all to ship at the same time. Unfortunately, we have had some recent delays due to a warehouse move and I am truly sorry for the delay in shipping your order.
I can see you've emailed on Sunday evening about your missing item, again we're sorry that it was missed. I'll reply to your email this morning and get this refunded for you including the shipping cost due to the delay.
We take full responsibility for the experience you've had and are genuinely sorry that we have lost your trust and future custom.
Kind regards,
Party Delights
Very disappointing experience.
Very disappointing experience.
I placed an order for a child’s costume, which was needed for a school event. Three days later, the company cancelled my order due to a stock error. Unfortunately, I never received the cancellation email they claim was sent, so I only discovered the cancellation much later, leaving me with no time to find a replacement.
I understand that stock mistakes can happen, but cancelling several days after accepting an order and failing to ensure the customer is aware of the cancellation is poor service. It caused unnecessary stress and left my child without the costume they needed.
I won’t be ordering from this company again.

Hi Harriet.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are truly sorry for the disappointment and stress this situation caused.
We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to discover your order had been cancelled so close to your child's school event, especially when you were relying on it arriving in time. While stock discrepancies can occasionally happen, we fully accept that the delay in cancelling your order and the fact you were unaware of the cancellation fell well below the standard of service you should have received.
We sincerely apologise that this left you without enough time to source an alternative costume, and we're very sorry that your child missed out as a result. We appreciate that this was an important occasion, and we regret letting you down.
Your feedback has been taken seriously and will be shared with the relevant teams as we continue to improve our stock management and communication processes to help prevent this from happening again.
Once again, please accept our sincere apologies. We completely understand your decision and are sorry that we have lost your trust.
Kind regards,
Party Delights
Ordered 38 items, received 3!
Placed an order for 38 items and only received three of them! Now chasing for a refund because ordering on 22nd May for a celebration on 4th July was clearly not giving them enough time 🙄
UPDATE: Despite what it says in Party Delights' reply, they did not inform me of any stock issues. 30 packs of cards and various decorations were still outstanding, with no information offered, until I requested a refund!

Hi Sarah-Jane.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're sorry that your order was affected and understand how disappointing this must have been, especially with your celebration date approaching.
Unfortunately, the item you ordered was affected by a stock issue, and we contacted you to advise that the remaining 32 items from your order were unavailable. We can confirm that this was the same item, rather than different items from your order, and a refund has now been processed for the unavailable items.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience this caused and appreciate that this was not the experience you were expecting when placing your order. Thank you for your understanding.
All the best,
Party Delights
DO NOT ORDER
DO NOT ORDER! Deserves 0 stars because I ordered it express delivery and the delivery status is still on order confirmed. I couldn’t get through to party delights and deserve a refund as I haven’t received the goods.

Unhappy
Unhappy with this website, I ordered a costume which my daughter required quickly so paid extra to get delivery within 1-2 days.
No updates from them 2 days later so ive gone to track the order and its still showing as being prepared for shipping. There is no option to cancel the order either which I would like to do as ive had to order from else where now.
Will not use this website again and wish I'd checked reviews first as I would have avoided if I'd read them first.
Please can a refund be processed. I have my order number if anyone can contact me
Order number #12659

Not even prepared for shipping after 8 days
I ordered a single item on 22nd June with an estimated delivery of 3-5 days. However, 8 days later, they are still preparing the item for shipping. This won't arrive in time now so I need a full refund, but their phone number is no longer working and they're not responding to my email from 4 days ago.
Order number is #11987. Please process my refund.

Hi Emma.
Thanks for your recent review.
We're really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you in regards to your order.
Unfortunately, your order was affected by delays during our warehouse move, which temporarily impacted our usual dispatch times. We completely understand how frustrating this was, especially as you had a specific timeframe in mind for receiving your item.
We would like to clarify that we responded to your email within 24 hours and, following your request, your order was cancelled and a full refund was processed.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience. Our warehouse move has now been completed and our dispatch times have returned to normal. Thank you for your feedback, as it helps us continue to improve our service.

Would highly not recommend
Would highly not recommend! I ordered several items which stated they were in stock on their website and received a confirmation email stating items would be delivered in 5-7 working days.
After over 7 working days I still hadn’t had a dispatched email so I contacted the customer service who stated they were moving warehouses so could not dispatch my stock yet. As a customer I understand this would delay but was immediately shocked that the company would not have thought to email me being honest and updating me through the process. They stated they expected to ship my products in 1 week, so again I waited and heard nothing even after a week.
I contacted them again to be told 3 weeks after my initial order that they did not have the stock and would be cancelling the order and giving me a refund in 2-5 working days. Again, no thought to update me, I had to email and chase them throughout the whole process such awful customer service!
I purchased the items on 26th May 2026 and it’s approaching 5 weeks since and I have no products or no refund. Honesty and communication are key to running a business and customer service, I have received the poorest customer service in a very very long time!
The customer service said that they hope I will be purchasing again soon from Party Delights, I can assure you I will never be purchasing from them ever again.

Hi Natalie.
Thank you for your review and I'm truly sorry that you had a negative experience with us.
Unfortunately, your order coincided with our warehouse relocation, which caused significant delays to both dispatch and stock reconciliation. While we appreciate your patience during this period, we completely understand your frustration that you had to contact us for updates rather than receiving proactive communication from us. We recognise that we should have kept you better informed throughout the process, and we sincerely apologise for this.
Once it became clear that we were unable to fulfil your order due to the stock discrepancy, we processed your cancellation and refund. We're sorry that the overall experience left you feeling disappointed and that we weren't able to provide the service you expected.
Our warehouse move has now been completed, our stock systems have been fully updated, and our dispatch times have returned to normal. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve, and we're truly sorry that your experience during this exceptional period did not reflect the level of service we aim to provide.
Take care,

Initially everything went well
Initially everything went well, I ordered on Tuesday and my order arrived on Friday the same week (paid £3.95 delivery charge). I ordered 2 items, one was the correct size but the wrong size had been sent for other item (far too big). I understand that we are all human and mistakes happen. However what happened next is the reason for this 1 star review.
I emailed immediately after opening the parcel on the Friday to say the wrong size had been sent (email sent at 2:11 pm, office hours on website state Monday- Friday 9:00 am - 4:30pm). I wrote on the subject heading that I had recieved the wrong size, thinking that this would flag it as a more important issue so would be dealt with quickly.
I still hadn't heard anything at 3:30pm after picking my children up from school. By that time, I had, had time to try the outfits on them. As I had already guessed, the item sent in the wrong size was far too big. However the smaller sized item fitted both of my daughters.
The item that was sent in error was size 10/12 and I had ordered size 8/10, but now knew that size 6/8 would also fit. The reason I'm saying this is because I knew that I had ordered the last size 8/10 in stock and guessed that when I got a reply they might say that they couldn't locate the size 8/10. So I sent another email attached to my original one saying that I was aware that I had ordered the last size 8/10 and if they couldn't locate it (especially if my 8/10 had been sent to the person who ordered the 10/12) to just send a size 6/8 (which they did have in stock) instead. I explained that I needed the outfit delivered by the following Thursday because they needed to wear them on Friday.
I finally got a reply on Monday afternoon at 2:30pm! As I had already guessed they couldn't locate the size 8/10 and also acknowledged that I needed it by Friday (so they had definitely seen both my emails) but instead of sending the size 6/8 that they did have in stock, they refunded me for the wrong sized item and said that I didn't need to send it back! I emailed again immediately to say that the 6/8 would be a satisfactory replacement but again, no reply. It is now Wednesday and I haven't had any reply, I need the outfit by tomorrow so there is absolutely no time to sort it out now. I ordered nearly 2 weeks before I needed the items I contacted them as soon as I saw the mistake and offered them an alternative because I could forsee there might be a problem getting my correct order sent. All I have to show for it is one correct item and one useless, far too big outfit that I apparently don't need to send back. This doesn't help me at all. I would avoid this company because if you encounter a problem with your order it won't be sorted out quickly, if at all.

Hi Nigel.
Thank you for your recent feedback.
We're very sorry that, although we were able to resolve the stock issue with a refund, the outcome wasn't the one you were hoping for.
Unfortunately, after discovering that the correct size was no longer available, we were unable to fulfil your original order and therefore processed a refund rather than leaving you waiting any longer. We appreciate that you had suggested an alternative size, and we're sorry that we weren't able to accommodate this before your required date.
To confirm our customer service team respond to all emails within 48 hours, working days only, this is Monday - Friday. We do receive 100s of emails a day so aren't always able to respond back the same day but I can see you were responded to within 24 hours.
We sincerely apologise for the initial packing error and for the disappointment this caused, particularly as the outfits were needed for a specific occasion. We understand how frustrating this must have been and regret that we weren't able to provide a satisfactory solution in time.
Thank you for your feedback, and we wish you and your family all the best.

Great customer service
I read several reviews on here after not receiving my order of several weeks of waiting. Yes they did take a while to deliver, yes they did come in a split package, however I also paid a lot less than other websites. The balloons did eventually come through. The issues that I had I emailed customer services, and they replied very promptly & dealt with the situation almost the next day. With even a partial refund for the issues that I had mentioned.
I was very impressed with the whole customer service & the efficiency of dealing with the situation, therefore I am writing this review to ensure people to not feel put off buying from this site. As you’re saving a huge amount when buying goods from here, just order in advance!!
I will definitely be ordering from them in the future!
Thankyou :)

Dreadful service
Dreadful service. I ordered party supplies for a 90th birthday party over 2 weeks ahead of time. The website stated delivery in 7 working days. The parcel finally arrived 7 days after the party had taken place.
When I emailed to complain and ask for a refund I received a reply saying 'good news, your parcel has been dispatched'. It wasn't good news as I'd had to order replacement supplies fir the party at the last minute and was out of pocket.
I'm waiting for a refund and an apology.

Wrong order received
Ordered beautiful blue floral plates and flower edged napkins. But that did not arrive!
Instead I received a level 8 bunting, controller paper napkins and a number 8 balloon pack. So I guess I have a little boys birthday party stuff and he has probably got my nice floral stuff!
Need them for this Sunday the 7th of June, NO CHANCE of that happening.
Need to go out and look for a nice substitute.
Please return money in full and postage for stuff that WAS NOT ordered.
First time using, probably will be the last!

Avoid like the plague
Ordered from here 2 weeks ago. Received two items from my large order that can’t be used without the rest of the order. The remainder of the order has been sat for 2 weeks doing nothing. Have emailed twice to explain my event is coming up and I desperately need the remaining items from the order. Have not received any response. Tried to get in touch via website. No response. At this point I’m not going to receive the order I’ve paid for and lose out on a lot of money. Please avoid this company
