I needed balloons for a party. Called party city in advance to see if an order was needed, checked the website, listen to the voicemail and in all instances was told that no orders were needed in advance. The message stated that I could pick up balloons and they would be filled while I shop. When I got to party city today the manager told me this only applies on week days but orders are needed in advance on weekends I kindly request this information be made public on websites, voicemails, etc. ended up getting my balloons at dollar store.
