Terrible customer service. I placed a Halloween costume order online for curbside pickup. After never receiving an email confirmation to pick up I called the store to check status. Only then was I notified the order was cancelled (5 days before Halloween) because it was out of stock. Why am I am to purchase an item that is out of stock? And why did I have to call to receive this information. Beyond frustrating and unprofessional. I will spend my money elsewhere moving forward.
Usually love Party City. This one seems to be understocked on a lot of stuff throughout the store, not just seasonal.
Had a pretty bad experience with balloon delivery with a company called Shipt which Party City uses. I called Party City to question if the experience was normal practice and a manager named Samantha assured me it was not. She did everything in her power to make sure I was happy before we hung up. While it was frustrating in the moment, Sam really did her job well to make sure I was a satisfied customer. I mentioned my experience in a survey Party City sent to my email and I was contacted the next day by manager Lisa. Lisa went above and beyond to correct the situation and I will definitely be returning to this store thanks to these 2 managers. Word of advice to Party City .. get rid of Shipt!!!
My balloons blew up and they replaced them. The front girls are great 👍
They have pretty much everything you need for a party
Definitely good to have around. But just in 3 items their goes 100. Wow. Over priced. Employees were nice. Just show a discount every now and then
Always find what I am looking for and good customer service
Great staff and prices
This is a great location! Staff is so helpful and Sam is a terrific manager! She was extremely nice and worked with me on my order! All stores should be this way! Thank you!
I have rented from the company many times and they always do the right thing by the customer my sons party was a few days away but one of my kids had a common cold but obviously we canceled to be safe and one stop hop gave me a full refund and was such a pleasure to work with again they always do a great job!
Totally understaffed. Didn’t get greeted. Spent a good 30 minutes looking for Dr.Seuss decorations that weren’t even here. No one on the floor offering help. Was looking for a piñata & asked for help multiple times. Completely ignored, climbed the ladder & got the piñata myself, also waiting a good 15 minutes in the line. Next time I’ll go to the Party City in South Plainfield instead.
Everything you want for a party, plates, napkins, balloons and more, they have plenty off other things to support your party.
Its party city what more can you say ?
Staff was so friendly. I was greeted with Welcome to the party! When I walked in. So cute. Got what I needed and quick checkout.
Fast and easy pickup for online orders
Everything party related for kids and adult s alike.
Great selection of balloons 🎈
Great place!
Great place to find what your party needs
Horrible everything got it was a waste of money could got it better at the dollar store.
Had a lot of party stuff
Crooks! PLEASE SHOP ELSEWHERE if you do pick up. i put in an order for pickup. i got an email saying the order was picked up WHILE the store was closed! i immediately called the store and no one picked up the phone. Then i called the next day and they told me oh this happens sometimes. what?? she started looking for my order and they couldnt find it. then told me they couldnt give me a refund or cancel the order until stores open up again. who knows if theyll honor a receipt with no items to return when the city opens up again. This is ridiculous
This was probably the MOST STRESSFUL part of my son’s birthday party....BALLOONS!! I mean it’s not really rocket science....to inflate ordered balloons online and the have them delivered. First, party city, Woodbridge messed up my balloon orders, there were TWO different sets of balloons, but by the time it got delivered I had already exhausted all of my energy making sure they had my order. On Aug. 23rd they charged my credit card for the balloons, again in Aug. 29th and then AGAIN on Sept. 5th, literally a week later. When I called the store, they tell me to call back when I refused, they referred me to call 1800Partycity. How is this good customer service? There aren’t even any words to describe the poor service from this store to help resolve a situation.
Im not sure why but I usually have a long wait to check out here.
Good store
Store is pretty good but tried to get a costume sold out of 30 of them.
Okay so let’s start of they had like 5 employees in the front 2 were doing balloons order and the rest were cashiers I went to get the numbers “37” and the lady making the balloons (manager) said I have to pay first cool I go make the line . Waited about 10 minutes to pay to then go to the register and the girl at the register says there’s a 30 min wait . If the First Lady would’ve told me that I could’ve walked out because the wait was ridiculous and their all unorganized.
Worst store.1. Got email for my baloon order pickup, when i went to store, they were not ready. Even they were not sure were was my baloon (not blown) were kept by their staff. After waited and searched for 15 min, they found it.2. There were 2 girl in the shop and no one was aware how to blow self standing baloon. They waisted around 1 hrs and 4 pack of self standing baloon and did not get any success.3. Since they waisted all available baloons they asked me to choose other option as they were not having any more left.
Not a lot to choose from.
Good and friendly stuff and easy checkout..
Not bad
I wasnt able to order on line because there was problems on their end...their stores is no better! Problems problems problems.....but is covid19 Era and we have to be understanding 🤷 so I end up at the dollar store!
I could buy everything I need at the store yuppies
This place is garbage ordered for home delivery for a birthday party. The supplies never came, the person the phone hung up on me and told me it was coming. Called the next day to follow up with the store because I never received the supplies, the lady on the phone was surprised that I wanted a refund. Unreal
Party city is always a cool experience. Usually have everything we need. But one thing id the staff and it seems to be universal. They are not very knowledgeable if you can even find one on the floor. And theres always a long wait at registers with usually only 1 open.
Staff was great but we were surprised to find out after our transaction was complete that we had to pay a dollar per bag to put the balloons in. We figured that was included like EVER other party store. Needless to say two balloons popped getting into the car.
The employees at this store are so rude! They actually huff and puff at you on the phone when have more than one question. Also they dont stand behind their products. South Plainfield store 100% better. Maybe just quality of people in that area.
Scheduled delivery is terrible. Store failed to assist. No communication.An hour past the scheduled delivery window, the Woodbridge store manager refused to cancel my order.My guests arrived before the partial order of party supplies arrived.The store’s online induction of items being in-stock Vs out-of-stock turns out to be pointless. The main items I ordered (inflated foil balloons) were out of stock. No email stating ‘these items are no longer available’ was provided.The store not only refused to cancel the order, they also refused to substitute the out of stock balloons with something else over the phone.To make matters worse - I was charged a delivery fee. I used a coupon for free delivery for orders over $35. It was not honored.The Woodbridge store is the worst party city location. Go elsewhere!
My experience was excellent I went in too party city to get a costume for my two year old son, and trust me it wasnt easy because he was afraid of most of the costumes this was his first year dressing up but Ms.Melissa did everything possible to help and make me feel welcomed and I am so excited that I decided to go to her store out of any other store she is the manager there . And I havent seen great customer service like hers in years . So I will tell anyone to go there and trust me you wont be disappointed. I finally found a store that I can call home to get all my party supplies 😀 And costumes in the near future
This place only has limited stocks and tried to pass off broken stuff for their curb side pick up! I bought plastic cups from this place ang they gave me chipped cups! Good thing i checked before leaving and when i asked for a refund they made me call a 1-800 number which is really inconvenient! Take it out of your website if you dont have them instock!
Staff was extremely rude and not helpful at all, then asked to complete a survey and give them a good review, thats not happening.
Rude staff! Been to many party cities so didnt think this was any different. Younger staff with no Manners and bad attitudes. The only nice and polite guy that I witness was a much older guy (perhaps the manager) never returning there again!
No help from associates. Would not recommend this Party City.
I just had a one question to check a specific item on the phone. A very rude lady hung up the phone and never picked it up again.
I was there looking around the store. Considerable prices and customs for the Halloween season for kids and adults also. Great variety of merchandise for any ocassion or party!! 😉
Customer service lacks, anybody working behind the counter did not want to be there and had no manners, I guess that’s what I get for coming to hoodbridge. A customer behind me was waiting in line so long like myself that she threw the item she was buying on the ground and left, no apology was had. Store bathroom was absolutely filthy and stunk of urine. When I needed help buying balloons I had to wait on line to see a cashier who was the least bit helpful since there was not a soul on the floor who could assist me.
No one in the aisle to help, they advertise they have cactus themed items, when you get there they say we put it away for Halloween. Wow no wonder the society we live in is in shambles. Line out the door, however a woman comes in says she doesnt want to wait in line for an exchange, she goes get her stuff and walks out the door. They dont even have the line going in order to be a smooth transition in and out the door
Who doesnt like party city.... you can find everything here for all your party needs and if its not here in the store you can always order online... always find what i need and then some...lol
Foind everything I needed right before Halloween the store was organized very well. Even color coded in certain areas. I didnt try on costumes or ask so cant contribute that info. Staff was friendly even though it was so busy
The prices are ridiculous there for their portable helium tanks. I left and went to Walmart to purchase the same tank they wanted almost $50 for for only $24.99!They refused to blow up my balloons in which I purchased online from party city but didnt have my receipt with me. The professionalism sucks there. Its like they all just didnt want to be at work. Bad experience for my first time visiting that location.
Always has only one cashier and the Line is always very long . I asked a employee about some items and he didnt even know anything about it. I asked another employee and they knew. I believe they need to train everyone to know the stock in the store better
I was able to buy everything in needed for my sons birthday. Place was clean and cashier was nice. I bought balloons to be picked up at a later date. So the reason for 3 stars. I go to pick up my balloons and wait 10 minutes before being acknowledged. Its ok though but after a few hours of bringing my balloons home they started dying. I ordered 13 and 7 were dead after 3 hours. I was very disappointed because I always go here for all my party supplies
I wasnt at this place
Fine party store. Little crowded and over priced but its a chain. You know what you are going to get.
Excellent selections and good prices. The best part,employees seem to care and do a great job with consumers.
Beautiful selection in ballons. One of a kind
Staff was very helpful, they assisted in helping me find the props needed for our program.
Shout out to party city for helping me out when the balloons flew away.
Plenty of off holiday holiday decor. Found the perfect Valenties day lights for my bow window. Wish there were shamrock lights!
GREAT SERVICE ASK JEFF
Worst staff ever. Order my ballons be picked up at 12 got them at 2
It was the most unprofessional experience. I asked two people to look for something that’s right by the counter and neither one would help. Meanwhile the Hazlet store was more than helpful and went and looked and held them until I came in.
Awful and horrendous customer service!!! I asked if someone could help me. The kid told me i have to wait for someone to come out the back. I said I have to wait for someone you cant help me he said oh I guess Ill help you since you look like youll get mad. Goes in the back and states they dont have my costumes. I go to the front to ask for a manager because my card is already charged for these costumes. She states I have to get them up front and I can tell she smirked at the customers was helping bc she started laughing. Then she proceeds to tell me they only have one of my costumes. I told her I needed both.. customer experience was horrific. I wknt go back in that store again
Its very clean nice staff but didnt have enough in stock for the things I needed
Always find what Im looking for no matter what
Ask if they can fill two balloons that I purchased on the spot and had to wait 20 mins than asked if they would fill them since no one else was around so i can go was told no with a whole explanation that would have been the same amount of time to fill TWO balloons
Ordered 36 balloon. wound up with 20 most popped. way over filled. same issue others had in parking lot. i was told come back and they will replace, but guests were arriving. most pick up as close to event time as possible..will never go back. 65 bux wasted dont even put balloons in bags so easier to get in car miss party fair in edison
They do have a variety of good selection for various theme based party decorations and supplies.
Overall nice place to be, the only time that it is a hassle to go there is around halloween time, everyone and their mother is in there trying to find a costume. A little over priced with the costumes and you can make your own with everything they have on the walls for cheaper but the staff is friendly and they have helped me multiple times of me being there with everything that I was looking for. I would recommend going there, just not around Halloween.
Nice sales people.
All waste products
Not one Happy Birthday Mom/Mother balloon...shame. clean and good selections. The staff was very helpful and friendly too.
Cashiers need some life...everyone was less than energetic
Very informative and great customer service
One of the employees Christina is absolutely terrible she couldn’t even bother to ring us up and blow up our balloons. The customer service in this place is the worst.
Great always I found everything I need.
Love party city, the workers are great and I always find all I need for my parties
All party stuff in one place with good quality
Nice place to select party goods. Party decorations and party favours for all occasions available here
Great store for any party needs
Party City has BEAUTIFUL selections from every age and the staff is very professional
Well stocked great prices great service Clean Store
They declined to honor a merchandise credit they issued.. the credit didnt have any exclusions and use by date. But the manager and staff made up the store rule that they dont honour the credit receipt after an year. First of all they give return on a receipt instead of a card & then they they dont exclusion like this on credit receipt. The manager Jose is also very rude. Stay away.
The theme for my kids party was Thomas the Tank Engine and they had plenty of supplies. My biggest beef was paying extra for the plastic bags to put the balloons in. And the cashier watched me struggle to get them into the bags.
This location has variety and plenty of themes to choose from for any party but I think their prices are high. Come on, most of the merchandise is made in China. Also, some of the reps have an attitude. If you do not like your job, find another.
Casher was very nice!
They had a very nice selection of the items I needed. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Love going to party city 😉
Worst customer service, bad attitude of some of the staff members. They dont care about your personalized orders like birthday banners. If you want to make want to make something special to your loved one please choose other store.
Girl was rude in helping me and didnt even make any effort to help. She didnt know anything about products.
Its especially useful for last minute holiday or party shopping. The selections are not anything amazing but it has the necessities. Expect the usual bead necklaces, costumes, cups, balloons, etc.
Large selection but very disorganized. I came in to pick up balloons I had ordered, but couldnt fit them all in my car so I took half and ask if my boyfriend could come a little later to get the rest. I wasnt asked for my receipt, and was told my boyfriend could come right in and grab them (they were clipped near the card shelf). My boyfriend went in to get them and was practically yelled at for taking the balloons. He was asked for a receipt, which he didnt have because I had it. They gave him such a hard time! The staff wasnt very friendly at all.
As the name, it is perfect for any themed party if one wants to organize. I figured out there will be 24 hour free shipping if you open their website inside their store.
Is very clean and organize easy to found that you are looking for,, thanks
