I had a random thought while planning for Halloween this year. We usually do treat bags for the neighbors with novelty items inside. The items were very expensive in the store last year so I thought I would check online for something less expensive. I ...

I was very satisfied with my Oriental Trading order at the time I received it.  However, for many months afterward I kept recieving this charge on my bank statement for 14.95 marked "easy saver".  After many hours of investigation, I found out that easy saver had gotten my debit card information from the Oriental Trading Company.  They claim that I accepted and authorized a membership through a pop-up on their website.  I have a pop-up blocker so I find this hard to believe, but none-the-less whether I did or didn't click this pop-up box.  I have never received a letter, email or anything else stating that they were deducting this money from my bank account or listing the benefits of being a member of this "easy saver".  I have done many hours of research on this easy saver company and have come to the conclusion that it makes it's money off of scamming people who do not know they have accepted a membership.  Shame on Oriental Trading for allowing their trusting customers to be scammed by this "pop-up"!

I've made a few purchases from orientaltrading.com. On my last purchase, I mistakenly gave an incorrect delievery address. I realized this only after the order had been shipped. I called Oriental Trading's customer service, and they were wonderful! They did a new order and shipped it to the correct address at no additional cost! I would definitely recommend buying from oriental trading. They have a HUGE selection of fun products on sale and fantastic customer service. Even thought I have at time received a few faulty products (for example, I once ordered 2 dozen flashlight pens and a few of them didn't work), I still think that you get great value for your money at oriental trading.

I ordered watercolor paint palettes from Oriental Trading.  I never recieved a conformation and I waited for 3 days past the delivery date to call and check on the order.  I was told that the order was cancelled because they were out of stock.  The operator said that I "should have recieved a cancellation ntoice".  However, I did not.  I did just recieve a request to rate the product (that I never recieved) so I know that they have the correct email address.  I will not order from them again.  This impacted 500 students at my school. 

I had recently ordered from Oriental Trading Co. and am very satisfied with my items. I had ordered Personalized Candy Cane pencils, as well as the giant stocking and gingerbread man mugs. They have a great selection of really cute and fun items that are ...

Recurring problem of items being left off my order.
I received 4 of the 5 things I ordered, though the packing slip indicated that it was in the box. When I called to complain I was told that the item was out of stock. That would have been nice to know when I ordered the item, or in the follow-up e-mail. Now, with one day to my event, I have to go hunting for new items.

Same thing happened to my neighbor when she was throwing her son's birthday party.

We were both offered a $15 merchandise credit for our trouble, but after you pay $7 in shipping, that 15 doesn't go very far. Plus, one bitten - twice shy.

If you order from them, make sure you have PLENTY of time to implement your 'plan B' for items that never get shipped.

What a pleasure it is to shop at the Oriental Trading Company! Their selection never fails to delight and surprise me and they offer their products for very reasonable prices. Within their vast catalog of goodies are not only wonderful party-themed items ...

I have only recently started dealing with Oriental Trading. I purchased some Breast Cancer awareness items that I was hoping to sell in order to raise money for a fundraiser. Most items were great but I had an issue with the car magnets shaped like ribbons. Apparently, the magnetic part is plastic but the pink part is simply cardboard (glossy so it LOOKS like it might be plastic) glued on. After 5 min in the rain the magnet is worthless.

It would be great as a refrigerator magnet but I have an issue with the fact that it is advertised as a car magnet when it cannot withstand the elements.

When I called the 1-800 number, the woman was very helpful. She could not give me a credit as I did not have the ribbons to send back (had already sold them at a fundraiser) but she did give me a $20 credit to a future order.

As I said, there were other items that I did order which lived up to all expectations so I would have no problems dealing with the comany again in the future.

This was my first experience shopping the Oriental Trading Company online. I had received dozens of their catalogs in the mail and had ordered small party favors for the school here and there (I'm a teacher). What attracted me to their website was a ...

I have been buying school supplies from Oriental Trading now for over 3 years. My mother has been using them for probably 6 years. I have had no problem with them at all. They have super fast delivery, and their products are always great quality.

My relationship with the Oriental Trading Company began with a piece of junk mail around 12 years ago. I was fixin' to toss it out but my daughter grabbed the little catalog and that was the end of that. We were out of control. This place is a kid's wet ...
