Placing An Order
Can I order over the phone?
Unfortunately we don't accept telephone orders. All orders must be placed online - if you need assistance please contact us.
Has my order been successful?
When the order has gone through successfully we'll send an email with an order number. If it's not in your inbox please double check your junk folder for emails from info@partydecorationsuk.com

If you've checked your junk mail and still haven't received the email, please contact our Customer Service Centre who will be happy to look into this for you.
Can I add to / amend an existing order?
Possibly. If your order hasn't been packed then we can add to/amend the order, after the packing stage we wont be able to alter the order.

If you need to change an order, please contact us immediately.
Can I cancel my order?
If you need to cancel an order, please contact us quoting your order number.

We are unable to cancel orders once they have been packed, in this instance you can return any unwanted orders.
Voucher Codes
How do I use a voucher/promo code?
To use a voucher code, open the basket page, then enter and apply the code into the ‘Voucher Code’ box.

If you proceed to checkout without entering your code you’ve gone too far and need to go back to your basket. You can only use one voucher code per order.
Why isn't my voucher code working?
You'll need to enter in the voucher on the basket page. If you proceed to checkout without entering your code you’ve gone too far and need to go back to your basket.

Check the voucher has been typed correctly with no additional letters or spaces. If possible, copy and paste the voucher code in.

Vouchers may expire after a set date.

Sometimes there are products in your basket that are not eligible to use with the voucher code entered. When this happens we'll show a warning on the basket page - you can either remove the item from your basket or continue without the voucher being applied.

You can’t use more than one on a single order.
I forgot to use my voucher code – can I claim it afterwards?
We're sorry, voucher codes need to be applied before making payment, they can't be applied retrospectively.
