This company is a complete scam
This company is a complete scam. I’m surprised that they are still allowed to operate legally. Took my money but didn’t deliver anything. I’ve been trying to contact for weeks to get a refund but absolutely no response. The phone line doesn’t work.

Hi Emma.
We’re very sorry to hear that you’ve experienced issues with your order and apologise for the frustration caused.
Unfortunately, no order information has been provided with this review, so we’re unable to identify the order or investigate what has happened. We have responded via Trustpilot to request the relevant order details so that we can locate the order and look into this for you.
Once we receive the information requested, we’ll be happy to investigate the matter further and assist with your refund query.

Order #17073
Order #17073
Order placed on 6th September with delivery due within 3-5 working days and still not dispatched with no updates given at all. Have emailed multiple times for updates including a request to cancel the order last week with no response to anything. They respond to reviews on here saying they have replied to emails but this is not true. I'm now going to request a chargeback from the bank as clearly a fraudulent website - please avoid!!
Update 28/9: just to confirm that despite what is said here I have not received a single email from yourselves since 6/9 and I have of course checked junk/ spam. If you look at the other reviews you will see that noone seems to be receiving the emails you think you are sending - your technical team clearly need to look into your email client as it's unlikely to be an issue on customers side if noone is getting these responses. You do have my phone number and regardless of what was sent or not sent in emails, I still have not received my parcel, any update on the tracking system to say it's been dispatched or the refund I requested. Your response below also still gives no indication of when or if I should expect to receive it so please could you sort your email and warehouse issues rather than defending yourselves on here against factual customer reviews!

Avoid!
My order was placed on the 5th September having paid nearly £50! I ordered in advance to allow time to receive the order and try on for sizing. The estimated delivery was 3-5 working days. I sent an email on the 17th September and to date have still not received my items nor a courtesy of a response to my email. I never write negative reviews however I am concerned that this company is a scam!!
Unfortunately, I cannot reply to the response below from this company however, I would like to refute the response that they replied to my email(s). I have sent a number of emails and have not received a response. I checked my spam prior to writing a review and have again checked all inboxes, deleted and spam. Furthermore, I have now only received 2 out of 3 of my items.

AVOID!!!!! (oder #18249- no response)
I ordered from this company (order #18249) and have written to them over 5 times now with no response. I have been waiting for an update on the items for my daughter's birthday party, and there have been no updates.
Their customer service is the worst I have ever seen! There is no listed number to call, and they do not respond to their email or customer service portal. There are broken links throughout the site. It is just a scam, and all I want is to cancel my order so I can buy the goods elsewhere. I will NEVER buy from this site again and would encourage everyone to avoid! I got pulled in by some good deals, but never again. I can't believe how unprofessional the website, tracking and customer service are. I will find a way to get my order tracked and a refund, and I will tell everyone I know to avoid this site.

Company ignoring emails for items not delivered
This company's lack of customer service is appalling. My order was delayed and part of it missing. I have sent multiple emails all to no avail. The order was placed in time for an event ane due to missing item I have had to source from somewhere at an additional cost. This is unacceptable. Money has been taken by misleading me with how quickly items will be delivered and a failure to response to my emails about a missing item I now view as theft.

Hi Elm.
We’re very sorry for the delay with your order and for the frustration caused by the missing item, particularly as you needed the order for an event and have had to source the item elsewhere.
Your order was placed on 9 September and was shipped on 13 September. Due to the current delays within our warehouse, we are currently asking customers to allow up to 7 days for orders to arrive, as stated on our website. We appreciate that this is longer than expected and apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Regarding your emails, our customer service team is responding to emails within 48 hours. I can see that a response has been sent to your email, however, from your reply it appears that you have not received it. Please could you check your spam/junk folder, as the response has definitely been sent and may have been filtered there.
We’re sorry that your experience has fallen short of the service we aim to provide and hope we can get the missing item resolved for you as quickly as possible.
Kind Regards,
Party Delights
Awful customer service - order number 17364
I wish I had read the recent reviews before ordering.
I placed my order on 8 September and it was split into two parcels. One parcel has arrived, but the second parcel still hasn’t even been dispatched.
What makes this even more frustrating is that I have tried contacting Party Delights repeatedly — I have messaged, emailed, contacted them through Facebook and Instagram — and I have received absolutely no response.
This isn’t a small inconvenience either. The missing item is something I ordered for my son’s birthday.
I completely understand that warehouses can experience delays, but taking people’s money and then leaving them with no information and no way of getting a response is incredibly frustrating.
Looking at the recent Trustpilot reviews, I’m clearly not the only customer experiencing delays and difficulty getting a response, which makes this even more disappointing.
At this point, I just want someone from Party Delights to actually acknowledge my messages and tell me what is happening with the rest of my order.
Very poor communication and customer service. I certainly won’t be ordering from them again.

Hi Amy.
We’re very sorry for the delay with the second part of your order and completely understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly with the item being intended for your son’s birthday.
Your order was unfortunately affected by delays within our warehouse, but I can confirm that the full order is now on its way to you.
We have also looked into your concerns regarding contacting us. We can see an email sent to us on Tuesday evening, which our customer service team will be responding to today. We have also checked Facebook and Instagram using the details provided in your review, but unfortunately we haven’t been able to locate any previous messages from you there.
We sincerely apologise for the delay and for the frustration this has caused. We appreciate your patience while we work through the current warehouse delays and hope the remainder of your order reaches you very shortly.

Awful experience
Awful experience. Their customer service is disgraceful. I’ve emailed a few times and tried to contact them on their social media pages and I’ve had no response from them! I ordered my son a Halloween outfit and it’s being delivered to a locker (I wanted it to be delivered to my house but somehow the address got mixed up) and they can’t deliver the parcel to the locker address. So I’ve called delivery company to be told the same thing (4th time now). I’m trying to get in touch with party delights to get them to sort out the problem but nothing. Won’t be ordering from here again!

Hi.
We’re very sorry for the frustration and inconvenience you’ve experienced with this order, particularly as this is for your son’s Halloween outfit and you’ve been trying to get the delivery issue resolved.
We can confirm that your order was dispatched within 48 hours of being placed. The delivery option selected at checkout was locker delivery, which is why the parcel has been sent to a locker rather than to your home address.
We can also see that you emailed us late Monday afternoon. We’re sorry that you haven’t yet received a response, but your email is within our current response timeframe and will be responded to today.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by the delivery issue and appreciate how frustrating it must be to have contacted both the courier and ourselves while trying to get this resolved.

Hi Deborah.
We’re very sorry for the delay with your order and completely understand your frustration, particularly as the party has now passed and you no longer require the products.
Your order was placed at around 10pm on 14th September, with part of the order being dispatched on 15th September. Unfortunately, the remaining part of the order was delayed and was not dispatched until 18th September. We sincerely apologise that this resulted in the order not arriving when you needed it.
As a gesture of goodwill, we have refunded the £3.95 delivery charge you paid for the delayed part of the order.
We’re genuinely sorry that the delay has meant the products were no longer useful for your party, and we apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience caused.
Kind regards,

Where’s my order and no communication ?
I placed an order on September 9th and I’m still waiting for my order to come - I’m extremely stressed out as I have emailed the company three times now and am yet to get any response - on the tracking all it says is that it should have been delivered ?
I want a full refund and cancellation of my order #17204
I’m going to now have to rush to get something elsewhere !
The communication with your company is awful and it’s really unfair that you give no indication as to when the delivery will be arriving - hopefully this will get your company’s attention to answer me ?

I ordered some table covers and napkins…
I ordered some table covers and napkins for a fundraising event being held tomorrow (19/9/26, having been informed when placing the order that it would be delivered by 16/9/26.
As my order has never arrived, I have had to place another order elsewhere which arrived this morning.
I have had no reply whatsoever to my numerous emails. On reading customer reviews, I now understand that trying to contact the company is a major problem despite their website saying that they would reply as quickly as possible. Also, there is no contact telephone number. So disappointing. My advice to anyone thinking about ordering from this company is - please don’t!
I’m still awaiting a reply as well as delivery of my order which I will be returning.
In response to your reply, I have never received any email from Party Delights regarding this problem with my order until I have submitted this review. This seems to be the only way to get any kind of response from the company!
I’m just hoping the return and refund of my order which I’ve still not received will go smoothly, but I very much doubt it!!

Missing items from delivery - no update poor customer service
Really disappointing customer service. I have now emailed four times regarding my order and have received no response whatsoever.
Only one item from my order has been delivered, with the remaining items still outstanding. I haven’t received any update regarding where the missing items are or when I can expect them to be delivered.
I appreciate that delays can happen, but the lack of communication is extremely frustrating, particularly when I have repeatedly tried to contact the company for an update. I would simply like some basic communication and clarity about when I can expect the rest of my order.
I hope someone gets back to me last email sent was 10/09 and resolves this soon, as this has been a very disappointing experience so far.

Missing item from my order and no resolution
My package from Party Delights was delivered on 17/09/26 at 13:44. I had ordered 3 x Orbz and a 50-balloon helium tank, but only the Orbz were delivered — the 50-balloon helium tank was missing.
I noticed the problem within minutes of the delivery driver leaving and messaged Amazon immediately to report the missing item. My reference number is PX5XMZ7RC.
This is extremely disappointing, particularly as the helium tank was an important part of the order. I would expect an order to be checked properly before being dispatched, and I hope Party Delights/Amazon will resolve this promptly.

Ordered a witch costume for my daughter. It did arrive but was clear it was far too small. I'm not sure how they do their sizings but they seem to be on the small size.
Anyways, followed their returns procedure by emailing them and sending back using inpost. This was on the 20th August. And I am still waiting for a refund.
I've followed up today but I have a terrible feeling from all the bad reviews that my money has disappeared into the ether which isn't good enough.
I would like my money back please. I know you've had the item back because I tracked it back to your warehouse.

My order was placed on the 6th with no indication of delays. For some reason it chose inpost lockers as I sped through checkout but I accepted the hit.

Hi Kayley.
We are very sorry for the frustration and disappointment caused by the delay with the remainder of your order, particularly with your party approaching.
At checkout, we offer three shipping options, including delivery to InPost lockers. The delivery option selected at checkout was an InPost locker, which is why this part of your order was sent there. Customers also have 10 minutes after placing their order to make changes to their delivery details, as explained in the order confirmation email.
We can confirm that the first part of your order was shipped and was collected from the locker by you within two days of dispatch.
Unfortunately, the remainder of your order has been delayed due to issues within our warehouse, and we sincerely apologise for this. We understand how disappointing this is when you have ordered in advance for an upcoming event.
We can also confirm that you have received a response from our Customer Service team regarding your order. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the delay.
