Alin Party Supply

****PLEASE READ****I am very upset with my experience this evening while buying party supplies for my daughter's party. I ordered balloons, payed for them at the register as I was told to do from the lady at the balloon counter. 2 hours after returning home I received a call from Louie, identifying himself as the 'manager' of the store. He informed me that I needed to go find my receipt because he needed the receipt number. I advised him that I did not have it on me it was in my car parked down the street and that it was raining and I was not going to go outside in the dark and get it. He told me he needed it anyway and that I was improperly charged. I informed him that this was not my issue as I do not work for the store nor did I write up the balloon order or ring up my own order. He cut me off yelling at me demanding that I was undercharged. I asked him to let me speak to which he ignored and continued to raise his voice at me over the phone as I tried to speak over him letting him know that I am the customer and unaware of your policies and therefore should not be held accountable for a mistake being made on account of the employees. He then hung up in my face. I tried to call back several times for 1 hour to which the phone picked up to voicemail which means the phones were purposely not being answered which may have affected other customers trying to call and inquire about your store. I am very upset, I will not shop at your store again. Any establishment that allows their employees to speak to and deal with their customers this way is not any place I/ my place of business, family, and acquaintances wish to be affiliated with. I have been shopping at this store since a small child and I am over 35 years old. I am disgusted at Louie for his lack of patience and training being in a management position. I would rather pay twice as much at another store and receive great customer service. Louie's behavior over a $2 discrepancy on their part is ridiculous. more

My personal experiences with the employees, ESPECIALLY, has ALWAYS been quite excellent.\r ALL of the employees are very pleasant, and on those occassions when I needed ANY kind of assistance EXTREMELY helpful and knowledgeable.\r They stock/carry thousands - NO, tens-of-thousands - of items at all times. The mere FACT that their employees can assist/direct you to what you want is a major PLUS.\r Terry Smith\r Pros: Large & Varied Selection more

Although they do have thousand of party supplies at reasonable prices, They never have cake boxes. Their other store in Downey always have boxes, Lakwood not so much. They can be rude at this store too. Pros: Large Store Cons: They never have products that I need more

Alin Party has been around for as long as I can remember, any sort of party supply you need, they will have, from weddings to birthday parties, they have it all and reasonably priced... more

I remember when Alin's Party Supply was Alin's Paper and they were in a tiny little warehouse with wood planks for shelves! They have sure come a long way from then. I can always find exactly what I need at an affordable price when I go to Alin's. I would definitely recommend them. more

I was kinda in a bind, last minute, I needed decorations for a birthday party and they had everything I could possibly need. I went in prepared to spend a lot and not find everything but that was not the case. The girl at the front counter ran around and got everything I needed. I was a happy customer. more

This store everything you could need to help you plan and throw a party. They have a variety of themes. The employees are helpful. They have everything from invitations, napkins, plates cups, stickers, streams , party bags, candy, streamers, pinatas, thank you cards, wedding invitations, balloons, etc. more

This is a big place where you can find lots of things to make a party. They sell every single decoration to make any kind of party wether it be a Luau, kids birthday, adult birthday, a wedding, a baby shower, or even a quincenera. Why go to 5 different stores to make one party when you can just go to one place and get everything you need. more

The Lakewood store had a fire a while ago and it didn't look like they were coming back. But, they did, and now the store seems lighter and better organized than ever. Because of the large variety and very reasonable prices, this is a great place to buy paper goods for a party. Choose a theme, and there on one aisle, you'll find everything you need, including party favors. Employees are friendly and efficient. The Alin Party Supply (you might remember them as the Alin Paper Company) also sells stickers, gift items, candy and some craft items. more

I recently visited this party supply store. They carry a lot of nice party supplies. Everything is well organized and easy to find. They have a great variety of pinatas and balloons. I will definitely be visiting this party supply store again. Everything is inexpensive and parking is always available. more
