They don't enforce masks being worn by shoppers at all. I went to the Amherst street location and…read morewhen walking in there was a sign saying masks are required. Our family was of course wearing our masks. A family in front of us walked in without masks and I asked an employee at customer service if they were enforcing their rules. I am pregnant so this is very much a concern. The lady responded "we haven't really confronted anyone not listening to our sign. Would you like me to?" I said "I mean, we are in a pandemic and it is a rule and you have signs so yes please." She went and confronted the family and pointed to me saying I was uncomfortable with them not wearing masks!! We left. I complained to corporate and they pretended to care for about 2 seconds saying I would hear back and they were looking into it. Just go to any other store or online retailer - target, Amazon, etc. they have you're looking for and put the safety of the customer first.

I came all the way from Massachusetts to attend to a concert nearby Nashua NH, and because its…read morealready october, i decided to go with my wife and kid check this costume store. Its basically the same kind of store as party city,with the prices very similar if not a little saltier. My first problem here was right when we came in. I was looking for a shopping cart, after all,l I was shopping for the 3 of us, and when i asked this guy (Greg) if there was any shopping cart around he made a joke about it and did not answer my question, i still dont know if they have a shopping cart. So we all grabbed a basket each (making the whole experience unnecessarily uncomfortable) and proceeded to shopping. when finally done, we obviously wanted to try out the costumes to make sure it fits.There`s a sign on the fitting room stating that you have to ask an associate to use the fitting room. We went back to the front of the store to call someone, this girl came and helped us. Only then we were informed that we can only try on the vests, dresses, but not the accessories like the shoes, or gloves. They also wont let you touch it, as the associate handles the unpacking herself(little much?). This poor old lady (she must be 65yo) wanted to try on the gloves that went with her costume "my arms are a little big i need to know if its gonna fit" and the associate replied "I`m not supposed to open this but I guess I will let you try one on" This poor lady..the look in her face, senior citizen been treated with such disregard and disrespect... Anyways... The worst part is still to come..Went on to pay for my overpriced costumes, and GREG asked me "how much would you like to be donating today?" well greg that is quite an uncomfortable way of talking to people.You not really leaving people the option of saying no are you? That is borderline coercion and you should know better how to treat your clients as the fitting room lady pointed out, you`re the MANAGER! Well I answered. "no, thank you".. But Greg was not done...believe it or not he asked me:"well you wont donate not even a penny?" Now that wasn`t just uncomfortable,its just plain mean. I answered no again. I will never becoming back GREG, to ANY of spirit halloween stores because of you buddy. You make party city look good on the costumer service department, and that is quite an accomplishment :)

This company had posted their product I bought On Pinterest. It did not state…read moreit was a costume hat. Their discription size was incorrect. The hat was extremely small and I could not use it. They do not take calls only email and so I wrote the owner. His reply was there was no refund you got what you paid for and seemed short and not about business but money (greed). I keeped trying to contact and the same reply NO REFUND. Do not buy from these people there not about customer service. They'll take your money and not want anything to do with you. This kind of misleading advertising is all about the money. The owners name is David Oelerich- President 76R Derry Street Suite 12 Phone (603) 8825640

If you're looking for a variety of costumes... if you're looking to outfit a theatrical troupe…read more.. if you're not on a budget... if you're looking for all kinds of things to accessorize a costume... come here. And I don't mean look at their website, I mean visit. I think for a place like this you have to visit and try items on in person. If you do have to watch a budget, you may wind up going to Spirit Halloween across the street, if it's open (seasonal). But you owe it to yourself to check this place out regardless. This place is the complete package. Don't let the entrance - a door on the back side of a strip mall - fool you. Inside is essentially a warehouse-sized costume supply store. There will be several people working at all times to assist you, dressing rooms, a rest room, etc. And by all means, ask questions and try things on first. You'll get the answers and help you need.

The layout of the store is nice because each theme is grouped together such as boy birthdays, girls birthdays, adult birthdays, graduations, weddings, luaus, holidays, Mardi Gras, Cinco de Mayo, sports, you get the picture. The front of the store has greeting cards (saw no discounts) and a balloon filling station. iParty also stocks beads, toys, party favors, cups, plates, napkins, plastic utensils, costumes, and Red Sox decorations. The prices here are not the cheapest with many items such as the kids birthday supplies and greeting cards were priced higher than other party stores I've been to recently. iParty has a few good sales in their flyer such as party bubbles (3 for 99 cents) and Patriotic Beachball (99 cents). You'll find what you'll need at this party store.

Confused, I looked at it closer to see what could cause that and I saw that somebody had actually ripped the balloon and then "patched" it up with a piece of scotch tape. Their patch job lasted just long enough to sell it to me, but not long enough for my daughter to get to see the balloon. Because my daughter was sick, I wasn't able to go back to get a new one either. Any place that would condone selling something like that to a customer isn't worthy of customers.

Owner who says has been in business for 40 years needs to learn some phone and people skills . Have…read moreused them for 3 or more years now for bouncy houses with no problems until this year. Was told when this booked that the bouncy house would be picked up the next day which was a Sunday , perfect because I don't want that behemoth sitting on my lawn for longer than 24 hours ! So when I didn't hear from them on Sunday I called and they told me it would be first thing Monday....ok ...not really acceptable but I understand. Now they are 2.5 miles away so when I called at 9:00 am Monday and the owner said they are on the way I say great . I did a couple of errands and came home around 10:15 to find their equipment still on my lawn . I called back and talked to the same "rude " so called 40 year in business owner to ask why it wasn't picked up yet and he went off on a tangent about this being the busiest weekend and 200 other customers and no help , and then went on and asked me if I was one of "those guys " who sat around and watched my lawn all day ! WTF ? Who does this guy think he is ? So .....I had to do a face to face with this arrogant so called business owner . Sure enough....just what I thought....jumped up in my face and proceeded to tell me I'ma "Kenny" .....ya know a male "Karen"....not once but at least five times ! He is a lucky man.... I would not recommend doing business with this man unless you get a written contract for drop off and pick up times . Very unprofessional.

Highly recommend Boston Party Adventures for birthday singing telegrams!…read more A local Boston area compare run by a guy named Joey that was super diligent and responsive. We were really struggling because the "online florist" that was supposedly "local" missed delivery of flowers ordered 5 days earlier. USPS could get the gift delivered even though it was sent a week earlier. Joey arranged to have Scott come to our daughter's 25th birthday celebration at a local pub. Scott did an OUTSTANDING job making sure everything was coordinated as we live in Florida and were not onsite. Can't thank Scott and Joey enough for making this happen precisely as needed and without any friction at all!

I am so bummed that I didn't buy my dress with Julia because she deserves all the praise for her kindness, helpfulness and patience. The dresses were absolutely beautiful but I happed to find one that was perfect for me elsewhere. I would still 100% recommend Marry and Tux first to anyone that is shopping for a wedding dress or bridesmaid gowns. Ask for Julia!! :)

I have to say my experience tonight at this location was a text book example of what excellent customer service should be. I was approached by Patty asking if I needed help - I let her know what I was looking for. She had some great suggestions and was a great help. We chatted for a bit and she was friendly and went the extra mile! I'm a bit old school and getting help in a retail establishment these days can be difficult. I hope the management of this store realizes what a gem they have in this employee. Very impressed!

In fact, I won't be shopping at any Paper Store's again. Recently tried to return an item I purchased as a Christmas gift, but they wouldn't refund my credit card, as it was just beyond the 30 day limit. Just about every other store gives you until the end of January- but not the Paper Store. Even when I asked if they could make an exception here - they told me 'No'. That example, along with others, has helped me make up my mind that they prefer to nickel and dime the customer for the short run, rather than keep happy customer's coming back to the store. No customer service- then no customer. They just lost another customer - for life - with me. Too bad really.
