Never received

AI Highlights
  • Did not receive online order items or a refund.
  • No response to prior contact.
  • Please refund the money or resend the items.

Did not receive items nor a refund for the items placed online. No response to previous contact with the company or email.

Please refund the money I applied for not receiving items. Party City has a reputation for reliable customer service. What happened? I was very disappointed that I have not received these items for the party I had planned for my son's birthday.

Therefore, please return the money I paid for these items, or you can send them. I can use them going forward.

Not to place an order. They took my money and never gave me the product.

Original review May 28, 2025

I have reached out through email 3 times and no respond back. I have no number to call and it's saying the package was delivered on May 8, 2025. Which is not true because I have cameras.

Where are my orders

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Two orders placed on April 2; paid with PayPal and a credit card, about $100.
  • No updates or contact from the seller; phone line is busy.

I placed two different orders and I've heard nothing since. I placed them on April 2 and paid one order with one account and the other with another account.

I spent close to $100 and I really wish I could get my money back because I thought it was a reputable site. I used PayPal for one and I used one of my credit cards for the other. I tried calling on the phone and all I get is a busy signal.

There's no way I can even get through. Is there any way you can help me contact them?

Forget trying to get your money back or receiving your order. I'm going to sue for fraud and theft. This could have been resolved if the company would answer the phone or just send me my order.

Terrible

Original review Apr 18, 2025

Not scam people. I was excited to place an order because there were some deals.

So I figured PayPal was a good place to pay for my order, and then I had another credit card.

They would probably reimburse me if I didn’t receive my items. I need this problem fixed.

No communication. I placed two orders online. Called many times, no answer, emailed, but the address is no longer in place.

Was my order from the online going out of business site a scam?
