I ordered a $340 projector light "White Star Crystal Light" and received a light with no reference to what I ordered. This light looked to be around $40 on Amazon. I fortunately hadn't open it. I requested a return address because I didn't want it as I realised I had been scammed. Jemma refused to give me a return address ensuring me it is what I… Read more
ordered. I have had a difficult time trying to get my credit card reversed, but it appears I may be getting a refund through my credit card. Don't buy from them!
Beware Scam Company. Placed an order more than 4 month ago nothing received I asked for refund nothing received and they never return your email I don't understand how they still in business that's the last email below I received 2 month ago from Gemma and today 26/02/26 nothing received We will refund you on the pool lights as still no delivery from Pool Systems in Brisbane
Very disappointed with this company. I ordered two products several months ago but only received one. Initially, they insisted that both items had been delivered. After I challenged this, they apologised and said they were still waiting for the remainder of my order. Weeks later, after hearing nothing further, I requested a refund. They refunded… Read more
me for the product I had already received, but not for the one I never received. The item I didn’t receive was triple the price, which makes the situation even more concerning.

Made a purchase back in June have emailed twice regarding the purchase with no correspondence at all.!! Paid a total of $117 including $12.99 postage.
Do NOT order from here- SCAM. I have received the same general email and excuse “item was damaged, we have ordered more stock”. Shocking customer service and overall communication, clear scam with no care for their customers. I have sent a multitude of emails with little response. Save your time!

Do not buy !!! Spend your money elsewhere – Only reason a star even done, because u can not submit no star....DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. They will not contact you back unless to tell you they are out of stock and awaiting delivery. I was guaranteed 3 delivery dates and then offered a refund of my order of $302.00 but still have not received it. Not heard back from them. Will be happy to… Read more
advertise this business to the world but probably not the advertising they are after... First email with all their correspondence is to fair trade...
Rip off – I purchased 3 x 10m bunting flags for a whopping $63, plus $11.99 postage. That's 30m for a total of $ $74.99 AUD. To put into context, I could've got 160m with free postage for $18.98 on ebay! But I wanted decent quality and was prepared to pay for quality. What I received was 30m of very, very poor quality. Threadbare, thin and falling apart flags.
Absolutely magical – My little girl absolutely loves her lights and so do I ! The lights have Transformed her room into a magical space. Show reply

Purchased a garden laser light and it stopped working a couple of months later. Have sent 4 emails asking for it to be fixed or replaced (I paid over $200) and they just ignore me. Terrible customer service. Be careful if you purchase from them as their products are low quality yet they charge high prices.
Follow-up · The product itself just stopped working - ie never turned back on again. After numerous attempts to get a replacement I gave up as they have no interest in being of service to a customer. It’s crazy how businesses can operate like this and still actually have a business.
Positive reviews
Just received laser garden lights which project blue and green dots probably several thousand of them around a 20 m x 20 m area in my backyard… They are visually stunning and look like millions of little fireflies… Pretty happy with the results and quality of this product. After a few hiccups in the early service I was very pleased to resolve issues with this merchant to my satisfaction
Exemplary Customer Service – I recently purchased a Fire fly laser light, regrettably the remote control did not work. I contacted The Home and Party Shop via email and hoped they would respond promptly. I had read a few reviews and some were not very positive, so I was a little worried. Having said that the customer service offered to me was exemplary. I could not have… Read more
asked for more. Cha and Gemma responded within a day and sent a new remote which arrived a couple of days later. They were brilliant. This is a very honest and genuine review from a very grateful customer.
Home and party shop! – Excellent communication and customer service. Bought a beautiful star projector light off them and cannot fault the whole buying experience.

Negative reviews
Scam website. Placed an order 3 weeks ago. No follow up emails. When I look at the tracking it says that the order is still waiting to be dispatched. I have emailed the store for an update and have had no reply!!
We have placed two orders with this company 3 weeks ago. Have had no confirmation email, no reply to my 4 emails asking for an update but they happily took our money!!! Absolutely shocking customer service - do not buy from this company
I ordered 2 Bubble Blowing Machines in November 2024....around $140 in total....the product never came and the shop never answered my correspondence....Qld Office of Fair Trading could nt even track them down!...DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE SCAMMERS!

Only received half my order. Enjoying the light received but three emails about the missing product have remained unanswered. Always sus when no phone number to follow up.
Note: Their phone number is [Details Removed] for anyone trying to find it - only found it after an extensive search!! Ordered a light over two weeks ago and received a confirmation email, however, I've heard absolutely nothing since then. The item was listed in stock and I wanted it for a party in the next week! Two emails, a Facebook post and… Read more
a text message later and no reply.
BTW their contact number is difficult to find but it's [Details Removed], in case anyone else needs to try another contact method.
I've given them until tomorrow to contact me (to provide shipping information or refund), otherwise I'll start proceedings with my bank and will also be reporting them to Consumer Affairs, ACCC and Scamwatch.
Placed an order, I paid for it and received the confirmation email at the time. Never heard from them again even after following up when it was never shipped. Avoid at all costs. Thankfully my bank got my money back for me.
Ordered product from their website and no communication since order was placed to advise of shipment!? They state 1 day handling and the items are listed as "in stock"..... Multiple email follow ups to check for status updates and they simply do not reply! Absolutely horrible customer service. I will be taking this matter further and I would… Read more
suggest people to stay away from this company. Would not recommend based on their "customer" service (and cannot even review the product as its not arrived!)
Hi DFave What is your order number and what product did you order
I placed an order for the firefly garden light and since paying have had no response from this business in regards to when my order will be shipped. I have sent numerous emails, called and texted and nothing. They have taken over $200 payment and not provided any communication what so ever in regards to the goods I paid for. I plan on taking this further with consumer protection.
Absolute scam shop. Abysmal customer service. My order was placed on the 20th July 2025 still no product or contact from the shop even after sending emails requesting information regarding my order. If I could select "0" stars I would. Would not recommend them.

Ordered outdoor lights received most of them. Where I informed them that I didn’t get one set I was they was received broken from they supplier. After some months I asked for my money back. Now they ignore my emails
They email me on the day I I put up the review. They said I would transfer money back( they… Read more (+1 reply)
Consider buying from someone else not these people! No goods were delivered, no contact phone to call - I wish i had read all these reviews before buying. The only communication was to tell me I had left goods in my basket. I emailed to see where my laser lights were and they said stock had been delayed. I have asked for a refund and no reply! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM if u need them within 3 months
SCAMMERS!! DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS WEBSITE!! I spent hundred of dollars on an order for outdoor lighting for my venue. 2 weeks past and I had recieved no delivery update. I shot through an email enquiring on the progress, only to receive a response stating there has been a delay in shipment. The team member informed me it will be shipped in the… Read more
next coming days… 5 days past, no progress. I then requested a refund via email, to no response. THANK GOD I PAID WITH AFTERPAY!!! It was only once I raised a dispute with Afterpay, that I got any sort of communication… I received a voicemail from the same woman who I had emailed, claiming she has seen I have rained a dispute with Afterpay. She then proceeds to tell me she cannot deliver the goods until I close my dispute with Afterpay….. Luckily I’m not as gullible as most, I recognise this as nothing more than blackmail. Today, 6 weeks after purchase, Afterpay has finally closed my dispute and issued a refund due to no response to them from the merchant (HOME AND PARTY SHOP)… Wish I had the the reviews before I had pruchased!! Great work ethic, I’ll be contacting A Current Affair. Enjoy.
Have not received order purchased a month ago. I have had someone home every day to receive delivery and yet when I looked up tracking this company claims it’s been delivered. Scam site. Beware.
Three months after this review and I still haven’t received the purchases I paid for in March with… Read more
SCAM SCAM SCAM no communication will not answer my emails. no phone number to ring. no item delivered. I have asked for a refund, no answer. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM.
No goods and no response! – Ordered on 20th January and still not received laser light ordered. Have sent 4 emails without any response whatsoever. Wish I had read these reviews before purchasing from this company. Save your money and avoid this company
Never again shall I order from here – Purchased items on 26/12 and still don’t have them yet. I sent an email on 10/1 asking where my order is and got a reply saying they will look into it. No reply so emailed again on 14/1 and again no reply. Have emailed again on 16/1 asking for a refund and advising I am concerned I will never see the product or my money again and again I got a… Read more
reply saying “we will look into this and get back to you” Not liking my chances of anything happening right now. Lesson learned!
No delivery and zero communication – I have been waiting for my order to be delivered for 4 weeks and I have sent multiple emails. Zero communication and the status via the "Shop" app is useless. I think it is a scam and I should have just bought from Amazon or an actual shop rather these guys. I wish I had read other reviews.
After writing this review, my first email was replied to with an explanation that the product I had… Read more
