Order not dispatched after 9 days
I placed an order on the 4th of September and I still haven’t even had a dispatch email yet. I emailed you about this three days ago and tried contacting you again and haven’t heard anything. To not have even shipped a parcel after 9 days is very bad service. I don’t even know if I will receive my parcel even though they have taken my money, as no one replies to their customer service email address.

No delivery and no response
Order placed as express delivery last week. Have sent messages asking where it is but no response. No order delivered and missed event date. I doubt I’ll here back or receive a refund and I will be taking further action!

Still waiting for my £40 order
Still waiting for my £40 order, I’ve not heard back from customer services and I need the items tomorrow. Another unsatisfied customer, wish I had seen the reviews beforehand too…it looked like a legitimate company…it feels like a scam!
***update 11/09 - I don’t understand why you have responded to trustpilot review, but not my email sent directly to you? Are the trustpilot review responses generated by ai?

I ordered 2 items 4 weeks ago
I ordered 2 items 4 weeks ago. I waited 3 weeks for 1 item to arrive but the other item doesn’t appear to be dispatched yet. I have had no communication from the company and my emails are going unanswered. Their customer service is horrendous. I really would not advise anyone to order from them

No Items Received
Placed an order on 29th August (#16264) with it stating that delivery would be 3/4 working days. I am yet to receive anything. Some of the items haven’t even left the warehouse yet but I haven’t received any email explaining about stock… my daughter’s party is this Friday and I am currently missing a large amount of items for it.
An unreliable company willing to spoil children’s birthdays. Shameful!
I’ve messaged on Facebook, Instagram and emailed too but yet to hear any response.
They’re still posting on their social media to attract more buyers but can’t respond or post items to the ones they already have.
Poor

If you have not ordered already
If you have not ordered already, do yourself a favour and don’t!
If you have ordered, have an issue and need a refund, send one email and wait 14/15 days. Then, rather than continuing to stress yourself out, contact your card company directly to dispute the transaction. They can retrieve your money for you and deal with the company on your behalf.
My experience has been that this company will not respond, despite what their responses to reviews may suggest, leaving customers stressed and out of pocket.
I normally check Trustpilot before buying online, but unfortunately I didn’t because I was in a rush. My product arrived damaged and the quality was poor. I emailed the company 20 minutes after receiving it, with photographic evidence. I then called, but there was no response, the phone just rings continuously.
I then checked here and saw so many other customers reporting the same issue. The company appears to be responding to these reviews saying that they have contacted the customer and that the customer has not received the response. The strange thing is that all your email order confirmations and company marketing emails come through with no problem!
I sent another email and tried calling once more for good measure, and still received nothing. After 14 days, I contacted my bank, provided evidence of everything and, within 7 days, I had my money back.
Personally, I would rather support businesses and see them succeed. However, based on my experience, I would strongly recommend avoiding this company.
Thankfully, I have my money back and didn't get too stressed over it. However, others need to know what steps they can take if they find themselves in the same situation, so they can avoid the stress and hopefully avoid being left out of pocket.

Respond to reviews but not customer emails? Still awaiting order.
Ordered last weekend expecting delivery this week for a party - as the website says arrival within 2-3 days; I am now just seeing all the trust pilot reviews and realising I have made a mistake!
Have emailed x2 with no response. Order number #16277. Writing this review as they seem to actually respond to reviews (unlike emails) and hoping I can get this order in time for 13/09 which is the party date?

Failure to refund
*** as complained about below, this company did enter into liquidation on 09/07/2026, company number 14693739. Their own terms and conditions contained on their website confirm this as their company number and that they are a trading style of Ginger Ray Limited I.e said company in liquidation. I didn’t order until 14th July, so they continue to take orders while in liquidation. Their response that they were acquired by amscan international in 2024 below may be true but this ceased being their registered office address in September 2025. Do not order from here. I wish I had checked reviews beforehand. Also, the VAT number displayed on their emails is invalid ***
Received my return on 31/07/2026 but haven’t processed my refund. Ignoring all emails sent regarding this including a complaint. The items were returned unused, in original packaging and within the return period.

Very disappointing experience with Party Delights.
I placed an order on 16 August and paid an additional £6.95 for Express Delivery, which was supposed to arrive within 2 working days. The order did not arrive until 26 August – 10 days after I placed it.
I emailed Party Delights several times while I was waiting for the order, including to explain that because of the delay I no longer needed the items. None of my emails received a response.
By the time the parcel finally arrived, it was too late for what I needed it for. I have now had to arrange an InPost return myself and am seeking a full refund, including the Express Delivery charge.
What has disappointed me most isn't just the late delivery, but the complete lack of customer service. If a company offers and charges extra for Express Delivery, customers should reasonably expect that service to be provided — and if something goes wrong, emails should at least be answered.
Based on my experience, I unfortunately wouldn't order from Party Delights again

In liquidation
If anyone is thinking of ordering- please don't. The company behind this website-Ginger Ray Ltd went into voluntary liquidation on 7 July 2026 but the website is still taking orders and taking money. I placed an order two weeks ago. Received some items and no response when I ask about the rest.
In response to your reply:
Party Delights website states that it is a trading name of Ginger Ray Limted.
Companies house website states that Ginger Ray Limited 14693739 was put into volutary liquidation on 7 July 2026.
Which of these facts are you disputing?
My order number is #15434.

Poor
***EDIT***
I HAVE NOT HAD ANY REPLIES WHATSOEVER TO EMAILS AND SO PERHAPS PARTY DELIGHTS MIGHT LIKE TO CALL ME IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH EMAILS GETTING TO ME. IT'S STRANGE HOW THERE HAS BEEN NO ISSUES WITH AUTOMATIC EMAILS REACHING ME!
KI have used PD previously and had a positive experience. I placed an order 2 weeks ago and heard nothing in terms of delivery. I chased PD a number of times, in particular after the 7 working days and all emails were ignored. The following day I got a notification that the courier had the parcel. It was eventually delivered to the wrong address and 2 items are broken/smashed. The packaging was poor and so not surprising that the two more fragile items have been damaged. Have emailed again to complain.
It is such a shame as this could be a great company, but the customer service and delivery is abysmal.

Items not dispatched for over a week
I ordered items because the website was clear that lead times are 1-2 days. I kept checking but the items hadn't been dispatched for 3 days when I reached out and they had one excuse after another. They stopped responding when I wanted to cancel. Items were delivered to locker 2 weeks later. I have not collected them because I just want my money back but now I have to wait for inpost to send them back and only then I can reach out to them again about a refund. I wont get the money back for postage and dont even know what stated the items are in because im not picking them up.
Absolute waste of time and money. I only wish I had checked trustpilot before ordering

order not sent - terrible customer service
Placed an order on August 8th. No shipping notice. Got in touch via email August 16th. They asked me for my delivery address on August 19th… which they had from the order. August 20th they claimed the order was lost in the post and asked if I wanted it resent or refunded. Asked for it to be resent since they said it would arrive in three working days once dispatched. August 21st they say they have arranged for a replacement to be sent and it would be shipped within 48 hours; the same day I asked them for a tracking number. August 24th they responded saying they couldn’t provide tracking for replacement orders and that my order should be shipped in the next 48 hours; I responded the same day asking for this to be expedited. It is August 25th and I have heard nothing and received nothing. Avoid. Order 14759.
Update Aug 28:
Responding to the reply: They sent me a tracking number on the 26th for a replacement. Today is the 28th and the tracking still says only the shipping label has been created and nothing has been received by the logistics company.
Update Sept 4:
On Aug 31 the tracking still said the item hadn’t been shipped, so I emailed asking for a refund. Today is Sept 4 and I still don’t have a reply from the company and the tracking says the item still hasn’t been shipped.

What an appalling company to deal with
What an appalling company to deal with. Place an order - no delivery information- nothing. Asked for a delivery date - warehouse is either moving or behind. This company entered Administration in 2024 so why are they allowed to take orders they either cannot or will not fulfil.
UPDATE - order no 14925 not received 3 wks later
Order no 15552 ( 48 hr delivery paid for a week ago ) not received

This company does not issue refunds
This company does not issue refunds.
Be very careful !
I ordered a Hungry Caterpillar costume for my grandson. It arrived reasonably quickly but was too small. I returned it, all according to instructions, but in spite of waiting the 10 days, and many emails chasing the refund, I've heard nothing.
No communication whatsoever. And no refund as promised on their website.
What makes it more annoying is that I went ahead and bought the next size up costume fot my grandson as he wanted it so much .

£7.50 delivery for balloons weighing…
£7.50 delivery for balloons weighing about 400g!!! Youd think at that price it would be next day! And then they cancel half your order and dont send the other half out. Still waiting 7 days on no sign of balloons. the party has been and gone and what im being sent if i ever get it is no good to me now as half the sizes are missing. Avoid this company at all costs

It all worked out alright!
I was worried to place an order given all the negative reviews, but my £20 order did show up on the exact day I expected it (I paid for the 3-5 business day express delivery and it came on the 5th business day), there was a confirmation email and tracking number shared upon placement of the order (even though I didn't download the Shopify app so couldn't actually track it), then I got emails and a text throughout the day when my shipment was out for delivery. It delivered a few hours later than the text's time window, and the box it came in was a bit crunched up, but everything inside was fine. All cheap but cheerful gear I ordered for a party I'm throwing but pleasantly surprised with the results of my purchase! Four stars because there was no communication in between and I couldn't follow the tracking number without downloading Shopify so I was a little stressed worrying the stuff would show up in time. But four out of five because everything worked out alright.
