Home Town Celebrations

Placed a balloon order with the them and never got it... Took my money though
PLEASE STAY AWAY with i would have known this a month ago..

What a scam! I wished I had researched this company prior to my order. Placed an order for cake tops for my Grandson, placed my order 3/12/12 with priority shipping, they charged my credit card the next day, got their money and I got nothing! I have called and left messages numerous times, never reach a live person, only a recording stating that their "office hours are mon-fri 8:00am-4:00pm CST and if you have received this message during these hours then they are busy assisting other customers", busy ripping off customers would be more accurate!

Horrible experience! I wish I had read this website. I ordered my stuff almost four weeks ago and have not received any items. I left numerous messages by phone and e-mailed. They do not respond back. I finally received a response after filing complaint with PayPal. The response was we mailed it out and cannot guarantee when it will get there. I have had to go out and buy stuff from another store!

FRAUD ALERT! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SO CALLED COMPANY! They will take your order, bill your credit card, but you will NOT receive the items you ordered! I have called and called and I just get a recording. I have emailed and no one returns the emails. I called my credit card company and Hometown did bill me right away. I have put in a complaint with the cc company.
If you place your order, don't expect to receive it!

All reviews above are correct. Hometown Celebrations is definitely a hoax! I've called them numerous times and sent emails as well, but I got no reply. The products I ordered never arrived and I ended up having to delay our party. These guys deserve jail!

DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE! At best, they have HORRIBLE customer service; at worst, theyare scammers who take your money and run. Just got off phone with credit card company and got the charges credited back to my account after two weeks of no merchandise, 4 phone calls not returned and 4 emails ignored. Re- ordered merchandise from PartyCity.com and it has already been shipped(less than 24 hours later) There are excellent websites out there(i. E. PartyCity)but Hometowncelebrations is a joke. Everyone should call State Attorney General of Louisiana to complain.

Placed an order on Jan 6,2010. My credit card was charged on Jan 7th. I have called and sent emails to no avail... I can not believe someone could be so dishonest. What a shame.
I agree with the other comments - NEVER order from this company.

Do not buy from hometown celebrations.com! I ordered online and paid by paypal. I have never recieved my order. I have called on a daily basis and left messages. I have sent e-mails. No one has ever called me back! Now I have to enter into resolution dispute through paypal. I want to get the message out- do not buy from these people! You will have dissapointed children when your order does not arrive in time for their birthday party.

As other reviews have stated... this company is worthless and a scam. I ordered an item with priority shipping on July 20,2010 and have not received anything. Not even a response to my phone messages. Now it is August 1st and I have disappointed a child expecting a birthday present.

Hometown celebrations is a scam scam scam! I order some items for my twin daughters birthday, they sent me an email saying that I paid for the items and that the item was no longer avaliable and the order has been cancelled! So I keep calling them leaving them messages and sent emails no response! && I wished I had seen this website before I order with those scum bags :) haha

Worst customer service I have ever received! I wish I would have read the reviews first. They charged my card- sent my items 5 weeks late! And didn't even send the right item. All my calls and emails have been ignored! Beware do not use this website!

In all my years of virtual shopping I have never been so frustrated! I ordered Shrek party supplies for my sons 5th birthday on February 22nd. I kept checking the order status and it never seemed to update showing "shipped". I started calling the company and sending e-mails. Not return call or response. After 5 days of calling, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and stopped payment on my credit card. This website is such as scam! Now I had to order through another website (since Shrek is no longer in stores) and pay $50 extra for shipping from Ottawa to get in time for our Saturday party. Shame on you Hometown Celebrations. I wish I could post something on their website -- "If you really want to disappoint your children -- shop here!". Hometown Celebrations - you stink.

I have disputed the charge with this company. I have not received the products I ordered and am not willing to pay for a product, with priority shipping, that I did not receive. Hometown Celebrations' failure to respond to my email or phone inquiries as to the status of my order is unprofessional and just plain rude. I will never order from your company again and will be sure to let others know how poor their service is.

The products I ordered are for a fundraising event for a non-profit organization and every penny spent counts! As a result of your company's poor service and the non-delivery of my order, I will be forced to purchase these cupcake decorations at a much higher cost which ultimately affects how much money is raised for this already needy organization. Just for the record, I am a volunteer for this organization and not getting any compensation for the time or effort I contribute. The organization was planning to reimburse me for the cost of the cupcake picks but I feel terrible to let them know that the cost I quoted them is actually going to be doubled simply because the company I ordered from has failed to deliver the product I paid for.

Like many others who has posted their review on this site, I usually do research before buying from an online company but it was late on a Saturday night so I didn't, that is a huge regret of mine.

I made it clear via phone and email that I needed the products I ordered by today, November 19th for a fundraising event. Today is the day of the event, and I've haven't received my order or any communication as to the status of my order. The only communication I received was in a form of an email that stated that my ordered was "shipped via UPS Priority". However, there wasn't a tracking number, which should have been a red flag, in body of the email. I waited a couple days for my order to arrive to no avail.

DO NOT buy anything with this company. The money you save isn't worth the frustration.

This site is a SCAM! Please do not make any purchases with them. I purchased several items online and did not receive my items until 4 weeks later, returned the items to them and never received a refund. I am working with my bank to determine if they can assist me; but I seriously think I won't get my money back.

I placed a USD550 order and they charged me twice for that. I've been trying to call, I wrote emails, but didnt get any response... I'm afraid I won't be receiving the itens I bought, although I have paid twice as much for each one of it.

I wish l had read reviews on this site before ordering. I have called many times and emailed and they don't respond. I am out of pocket $96.00 and feel cheated. They took the money straight away and l am going to try and get my money back.

I placed an order with this company on Jan 23,2010 and a second order on Jan 24,2010. I recieved a confirmation email for the first one, a cacellation email for the second(with no explanation why it was cancelled) and they charged my credit card for both orders on Jan 24. Made numerous calls(only got a recording) sent 4 emails with no response, and finally sent an email telling them to cancel my whole order on Feb 3. On Feb 6 I received an email stating my order had been shipped, was en route but sent no tracking information. Called Visa, they took the charge off my creditcard, and was told to wait and see what they tried to do next. On Feb 22 I recieved a battered, used shipping envelope with 2 cheesy hawaiian plastic tablecloths and a bag of gaudy balloons, neither of which wereanything close to what I ordered. And the kicker is it came from a place called MyTown Party supplies--who are these people and why does PayPal even allow them to charge people's account? They are scammers for sure. NEVER pay with anything but a credit card for online things----at least you have a dispute system to back you up for bogus charges.

DO NOT ORDER from this website it is a scam! You will not get your order and will never get in touch with them via phone or email. Don't waste your time or money!

Don't think this company actually exists. Placed my order, they debited my account and I never received the order. Called 8 times, left messages and sent 6 e-mails. They have never replied. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY!

Hometown celebrations left us in the gloom - We ordered products from her on Feb 16th it states shipping in 2-3 days. We have yet to receive it and the phone #s for the company have filled up voice mails, I also sent to the customer service website and no one responds.

PLEASE NEVER BUY IN THIS WEBSITE AND LOOKS FOR REVIEWS alwasy for the all seller that you want to buy
This is the WROST SELLER online I paid for my item by february 9th. And I didn't get my items. My son's party was last sunday february 28 and I never got an answer for my 5 emails that i sent them. Now I have a complain by paypal to get my refund money I hope to get my money back soon.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY! I wish I had read these reviews prior to ordering from this company. I had been doing a lot of online ordering prior to my wedding without a problem. I ordered a cake topper from them for my rehearsal dinner. My credit card was charged that day. When I didn't get it in a reasonable time frame, I emailed their customer service. No response. Once the wedding madness had died down, I called them and left a message. No response. I put in a formal dispute with my credit card company and sent a registered letter to Hometown Celebrations. I just got credited but still no explanation for why I didn't receive the item or a response to any of my attempts to contact them.

We ordered cake toppers for my twin grandsons 2nd birthday and they got their money and we got nothing. We have left several messages and emailed them with no response! I wish we had seen this site first!
