This is a fantastic shop to buy affordable cards and the bric-a-brac that goes with them, such as…read morewrapping paper, best mum in the world cups etc. the only downside to the shop is the aisles, when its near events like Valentines day or the run up to Christmas it is near-impossible to walk round, this makes access for people with buggies or wheelchairs totally out of the question. On the upside the staff are very proficient and service is quick so worth the hustle and bustle to get those bargain greetings

The Card Factory has been open in Barrow for a year or two now, and I think its fair to say it has…read moremade us all realise how much we used to get ripped off when we only had a Clinton Cards beforehand! This store specialises in cheap, great value cards, wrapping paper, balloons etc etceverything you need for a special occasion. Cards start at 29p, and I don't think any of them cost more than 99p. Much better than the £3+ that other big-chain card shops charge! They're really nice for the price too, even some hand-made ones. I used to be a card snob and would only buy expensive cards, but this shop has made me realise that you don't need to pay those daft prices. It's only quite a small store, but they have every card you can think of under the sun. Unfortunately this includes some daft ones which card companies just invent to make more money - happy teacher's day, happy motorists day and so on - but there aren't many of those, they're mostly the usual birthday, Christmas, valentines, Mothers and Fathers day cards. They also sell wrapping paper, gift bags, and some gift ideas such as photo frames, 18th/21st boxed champagne glasses, keyrings etc - all at much cheaper prices than the usual card shops. As mentioned before, it's only a small shopthis means it turns into a complete nightmare every special occasion, as it gets packed out and you can't move. Go a few days before Valentines Day/Christmas Eve etc etc, not on the actual day itself! The staff are great though, and always manage to get through the queues and serve you quickly. If you're paying by card you have to spend at least £5 so bear that in mind and take some cash (it's surprisingly hard to spend £5 in here when everything is so cheap!) - but apart from that, it's a brilliant shop. I wouldn't buy cards anywhere else now!

Poulton has its fair share of card shops though, with two long established ones in the Teanlowe Centre as well as a W.H.Smiths. Card Crazy has a much larger selection than any of the others though and I'll probably come here first when I'm next looking to buy a card. All in all a smashing card shop!

It is a great chain of card shops with lots of good quality cards for all occasions but at very reasonable prices. There are often special deals on birthday cards such as 10 good quality cards for £1 - these are regular offers so you can rely on getting some bargains. The store also sells a range of small gifts some of which can be bought wrapped with cellophane and bows. There are so many ranges of goods crammed into the shop that it is difficult to get around the shop when it is busy and if you are a wheelchair user or mum with a buggy you will find it very difficult to get around the shop if there are more than a handful of customers in already.A row of baskets and boxes with offer goods in right near the main door does not help.This lack of space seems to be common in a lot of card factory shops but space is at a premium in this store, some of the stock is even put outside the store in wire baskets. great cards, great prices but would be even better with more space to move around..

The cards are out of this world - sadly though so are the prices, which is why it doesnt get a full 5* from me at this time.
