If I could give no stars I would. This store is always out of things and just one or two but whole sections, like the brown party supplies. Walked around and looked for a few mins, finally went to check out with 1 item and there wasn't a tag girl asked if there was another with a tag so I went and looked instead of her doing her job and nope none had a tag I told her they were right there in the clearance section and says $1. So she has to call someone up I'm guessing a manager waited long enough I said forget it and walked out with out my item. Thing is my family and I were the only ones in the store. Worst customer service ever. WILL NOT GO BACK read more

Pro: good amount of parking, useful and efficient staff, and quick check out. Con: where's the anime party gear? Came here to pick up things for minion's bday party. I normally visit the one in Escondido but this one was closer at the time. Got my things, went to the counter where there was a line of 5 people, the cashier was moving things at the soup Nazi pace... nothing short of amazing since there were old ladies, mothers with kids, and clueless people like me. One of the party hat I picked out didn't have a tag on it, so my cashier looked it up and found it was in the wrong section. A stocker came out of nowhere and ran off to get me one that match the rest. Needless to say, they didn't want me to waste my time to hunt one down... but it did made me feel pretty good about shopping here. Side Note - a lot cleaner than the Escondido store. read more

So we came in the day before Halloween, knowing it would be busy. Waited not too long for make up and got home and the make up was dried up. So my daughter went to exchange it, just exchange it for the same thing. Not only did they give her a hard time about exchanging it for make up that wasn't dried up, as my daughter was leaving they said they hated it when bitches like her come in. Can you believe they called my daughter a bitch, while she was still in the store. I am so pissed off right now, I will be calling the district manager to discuss this. I get it was a rough night but to call people names, while still in the store, is so uncalled for! They just lost my business. read more

I went to this location and unfortunately was left disappointed with the experience. I was shopping around for my brothers birthday party, and asked TROY for some guidance. He answered with lazy responses that made him seem completely uninterested. Just seemed like an a**h*le in general. He responded while walking away leaving me confused and frustrated. I also overheard him training what seemed to be a new employee, a young woman, and he was answering her as if she were plain stupid. Would not recommend going to this location! read more

Party City has always been my go-to place for last minute birthday balloons... you can get a pretty decent amount of large balloons with small, regular balloons for about $20! Not sure if maybe prices are going up with this helium shortage... but they should still be fair. I've never really come in here for anything else, but they definitely have a large selection of party items, birthday cards, costumes, and much more so you can definitely what you're looking for.. read more

They must have hired new staff cuz they were VERY helpful during my shopping trip. Timothy asked how he could help and the blonde lady at the front register greeted each person coming in asking how she could direct them to their party supplies. I could not be happier with their service! And I got the cutest things for my open house party Thanks! read more

I went 3/19/19 looking for rave gear and stuff for an EDM concert and when I described what I was looking for and wanted I was told, "hold on let me check" I waited over 15 minutes and finally found her at the front sitting at the register on her phone with no customers in sight. I said hello? And she just glared at me and said I should just leave and go find something online.. Definitely never going here again read more

Terrible customer service. Quiet weekday morning, waited at least 10 mins to pay to have the cashier walk away from her register to ring up someone who just walked up. I left my items-at least a $50 sale. Will never be back, Hello internet. This lack of service is why people turn to online retail. read more

Great place to get party decorations as well as Halloween costumes can get busy at times always plan ahead.

Understaffed, they only keep one line open until there's 6 or 7 people in line from the couple times I've been in there. Also overcharged and argued about it when they could have walked to the aisle right there and checked. Check out Halloween city for great customer service! :D read more

I went to party city this morning with my daughter I only had a 100 dollar bill . We were in a hurry needed a costume for party this weekend so I took her before school . We went to register they refused my money said they only took bread new 100 dollar bills !! My money was new from the bank !!! My daughter devastated has no costume now !!! I'm so mad !!! Never shop here read more

Worst party city ever! If I could zero stars I would. Called with a specific costume number and size to check if they had it and the girl said they did have it and asked if I wanted it put on hold so I said yes. I drive 20 miles to pick it up right away and then I get there and they put two different sizes on hold that I didn't even ask for and didn't have any in the size I wanted. The people who work here are just straight up LAZY and obviously have no brains. How hard is it to just check a size of a costume and say yes or no if they have that specific size? read more

Halloween disorganization just a little constructive criticism - Current: 1. Give costume # to employee, she writes down a ticket. 2. She calls in the # to the people in the back who try to memorize it along with size. 3. People in the back can't remember the number, asks to repeat it, multiple times. 4.The more siblings, the more times they ask again. 5. They find all the costumes and calls in that it is found. 6.Employee give you the ticket, walk to the pick up booth. 7. Give ticket to employee - they search for it by the 3-4 digit number. 8.You see it and tell him it's right in front of him. The more efficient way: 1. Give costume # to employee, she writes a ticket 2. Gives ticket to person in the back so they don't have to memorize it. 3. Costume & ticket goes to pick up booth where customer is waiting. BONUS points if all items in the bag are present, instead of getting home, opening bag and finding that the mask is missing. Called store and they said they would "look for the mask" or "give a discount." Now I have to go back and hope they have it. read more

What a sad sad party store. Low energy staff, lackluster everything. And what makes no sense is online party city.com I have a better selection all the prices or at least a dollar cheaper and you can get free shipping... So why would I ever come back here? read more

I hate to complain but this was ridiculous.... I go into the store with a return...I'm in line and there are three people ahead of me. One cashier is open.... Then they open another cashier and she takes the two people in front of me... Which is fine, but then when I get to the cashier he says he cannot do returns and that I had to go to another line! You have got to be kidding me!!! No eduction needed to work there I am assuming!!!!! read more

Horrible awful customer service ...I called the Menifee Party City to order a bouquet of balloons for my husband's 50th birthday and if I was told very rudely that they didn't take orders over the phone and hung up on me. So I called the shop in Temecula, they were more than happy to take my balloon order and my money, I had everything on time the bouquet was beautiful plus had awesome service I will drive for 10 to 15 miles out of my way so I don't have to deal with Menifee read more

I approached Maria with a question regarding some balloons I wanted to purchase. She was rude and un-approachable.. i instantly felt that I was bothering her. Her complete transaction..was rude and un welcoming. read more

HORRIBLE customer service. I would rather buy online from other stores and pay shipping than go to this store. I have complained and the Managers could care less. read more

I went in trying to buy balloons and the associate who was supposed to be helping me kept walking away she wasn't helpful at all! Then while I'm getting the number of the balloon i wanted she disappeared! I walked to the front and found who i assume was one of the managers because she seemed to be calling the shots! She came to the back to help I told her which balloon i wanted and as i went to pick one more she said she would be back she's going to help with the line! Um I'm a costumer also and would like to join that line ASAP! I just walked out! They weren't helpful to me at all! read more

I bought balloons and they were the number ones,when I ordered them they said they would hold the helium for 3-5 days I came in earlier that day (my pickup time wasn't until 8pm) I went in around 2ish they were already blown up and had been sitting there. They are already deflated and no I didn't have them in the heat at all( they were deflated by the time I gave them to the birthday girl. Also I have been to a few other Party City's in other states and they have their Christmas items ups and full on the shelf, went in to this one just a few days ago and it looks like they are going out of business. read more

I wish I wouldn't have to come here anymore but with 2 young children I'm sure I will be back. But the customer service at this store is horrible. There is never anyone to help. Ever. And when I ask someone at the register they act annoyed. I came in to get a piñata and asked the girl at the register for some help 20 mins later I asked again. While waiting I observed the girl working the balloons be pretty rude and short with customers and when I had to ask her for help with the piñata she acted like she couldn't be bothered, although she was told I needed help 20 mins prior, I realize that she is probably overwhelmed since it was just her and another girl working but that's not my fault. I will definitely explore my options before coming here again. This is my last resort poor customer service and it's pricey. read more

Staff was very helpful immediately. They even suggested other things to cater to my needs and I thought that was brilliant since I was in a rush. I will always come to this Party City for assistance. read more

The perfect place to color coordinate your next party. They have a lot of colors and styles to choose from. Prices are a little on the high side but they make it really easy to throw a nice looking party. read more

Service was ok here. I was never asked if I needed hello but I found what I needed any ways. They alway have stuff I need.

For your celebrations, check this Party out. Fun place to go for your partying needs. Excellent selections but stay away during Halloween...

Awful customer service. I was in there for 20 minutes and not one employee asked me anything. The workers seemed miserable and I didn't see a single smile from any of them. I was given lots and lots of attitude even though I was just trying to make a simple transaction. I'm never coming back because they don't deserve my hard earned money. Oh and trust me the place looks like it could use some cash flowing in. Not a pretty place. read more

Your typical Party City. They are always busy, usually not enough cashiers. During the off seasons its better taken care of.

Unbelievable!!! I purchased items a week ago, didn't even touch the bag, didn't use a thing. Packages intact, nothing opened. They go to get receipt which when I checked out was in the bag, it's not in there. I explain to the lady that it was in there and regardless the packages are exactly as I purchased them. They literally could put them back on shelf. They refused, best they could do is store credit!!! Are you freaking kidding me??? I asked for a manager I explained to her, these are not seasonal items they are items they carry all the time. Nope, store credit only!!! Will not go back EVER!!! I understand policy, but having been in customer service I also know some situations warrant a bending of rules. read more

Used to depend on this place for year round costuming needs as I am an avid cosplayer, but I guess corporate has made the decision to move away from carrying costumes, and wigs year round. Now I must make sure I plan weeks in advance to order online, well won't be frequenting here as often. Very disappointed. In addition I was in the store for a half hour and was never at any point asked if I needed help or approached by an employee at all!! Horrible customer service, half the store has empty shelves!!! read more

Thank you for your help yesterday Ebony, although you did not have to do what you did you did it & I appreciate it and this crazy messed up world can you use more people like you. These stars are for you. read more

I recently went to party city because I wanted to do a gender reveal without knowing myself. I brought in the envelope which said what the baby was and I asked Cheyenne to help me with filling a ballon with confetti without me finding out what I was having.She was amazing! She was very secretive to make it a surprise for not only me but my family. When I questioned the confetti I had originally chosen after I left she recommended what she thought was best and was just so helpful in every way. All of this while I had no clue what color confetti they picked to fill the balloon. I couldn't have asked for better customer service. Thank you Cheyenne for everything! The reveal turned out perfect and was a surprise for everyone. read more

After going to Walmart, Target, Dollar Tree & 99cent store, I reluctantly headed off to Party City expecting high prices. I was very pleasantly surprised to find the exact products I was looking for, excellent customer service, great prices and even a discount to match an internet price. I had the wrong impression of Party City. I will definitely be back! read more

I bought a Halloween costume there tonight and when I opened the package at home the costume had some sort of yellow brownish stain in the inside. Disappointing as the costume was for my son. I will have to figure out another costume tomorrow, and will not be returning to this store. All Halloween sales were also final. I would just expect merchandise to be clean. read more

Found everything I needed. Customer service can improve. It was crowded when I was checking out and lines were long. So I go to a register that has no line. The girl by the balloon counter offered to check me out. A manager then gets mad at her and says she's not aloud to ring me up for my items because I'm not getting balloons and sends me to another line with 20 people while I was in middle of a transaction... I honestly think the higher up employees are rude to the lower ranked employees and have the worst customer service. read more

The customer service at this store is terrible! I was at the checkout trying to purchase a costume and the register freezes, which isn't a big thing to me, but the cashier(Michelle with the short bad ombré-do) didn't even offer to have someone else take me or do anything to solve the problem. She also then doesn't tell me that the register froze instead she just sat there staring at the screen. It was ridiculous. read more

Can't believe the buyers for this company. Southern California has year round school and Party City only carries graduation items for a short time. Then I need party decorations for basketball and surprise, they cover almost every sport but basketball. ???? read more

The worst experience I've ever had with customer service! I hate to name names, but the manager, (I believe her name was Amy) herself was EXTREMELY rude to me when I needed help looking for some items to plan for my daughter's birthday. She acted as though I was bothering her. Was very short with me and I basically got no help from her at all. I finally got asked by another employee if I needed help with my search and she took very good care of me. Her name was Angie and I wish there were more employees like that. You may want to reconsider your management staff because I find this type of "service" coming from a manager highly unacceptable. read more

I just had a bad experience at this party city. I felt as if I was being discriminated against. It was an awful feeling. I don't know what Stephanie's problem was all my mom asked her was to price check a couple of items that weren't priced. And then she started whispering something to another employee I think her name was Lisabeth. Lisabeth was polite when I got there but after Stephanie whispered something to her she began to be rude to us!! I am livid we felt as if we were dirt and as if we were going to steal. I have spent hundreds of dollars at party city planning many party's and this experience really made me dislike party city I will make sure to tell all my family and friends not to shop here any more and I have a lot of friends and family. I will start ordering my supplies on-line and at other party store! I can't believe people still discriminate! read more

Rude customer service, try to sell you costumes 80 percent incomplete, and an overall lack of products. Try other party cities in different locations out different stores all together. read more

It was Saturday November 8th, around 840am. I came in to get balloons for my son's 1st birthday. I was so excited about the day, but as soon as I got here, they only had one cashier open and I probably wasted 20 minutes of my life in line with only two other people that maybe had three items each. I proceeded to the front, I got the balloons for them to put helium in. But seriously 80 cents for each balloon? Come on party city. The cashier was completely rude, the manager on duty should be stripped of her title, completely unprofessional. The cashier over charged me for the helium, I bought 8 balloons and a foil ballon. I paid 25 bucks, I should have walked out on that price because they advertise online the 15.49 price for the balloons but whatever. Instead of telling me she over charged me on the balloons she proceeded to tell me it was my mistake, and they gave me four free balloons. Umm seriously, I read your lips. I told her I didn't want the balloons just the ones I bought and would like the refund for the over charge. She was once again rude about it, and insisted it would be a waste of time. Really, how is that, I already wasted 45 minutes I your store for stupid balloons. They should have talked to ve about it first. Will NEVER be back to this location again. Rude rude rude, horrible customer service. On top of it, the other people in line made the same comments, for the ballon wait time. Seriously 30 to 45 minutes for balloons. Horrible! read more
