A Disney Disaster Courtesy of Halloween.com
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to order a costume online and receive something that looks like it survived a post-apocalyptic candy-corn famine, allow me to save you the trouble: just order from Halloween.com.
I ordered an Olaf costume for my daughter — you know, the friendly snowman from Frozen? What arrived looked less “Do you want to build a snowman?” and more “Do you want to question all your life choices?” The costume looked so rough I half-expected it to come with a backstory and a country song.
Tags still on, hope still alive, I contacted customer service.
And then… nothing. Eleven days of silence. Eleven! At that point I wasn’t sure if I was getting a refund or if I’d accidentally emailed the Bermuda Triangle.
When they finally did reply, they asked what “deformities” the costume had.
Friend… if I listed them all, it would qualify for its own documentary.
I sent photos.
They waited an additional three days — conveniently just long enough for the return window to slam shut like a haunted house door. Impeccable timing, if I do say so myself.
So now I’m out a hundred bucks, my daughter went to her event as Elsa minus Olaf, and Halloween.com went on with their day as if they didn’t just speedrun the customer-service version of a ghosting.
Filed a complaint with the BBB, but nothing came of it.
So I’ll do the public service announcement instead:
🚨 Please, for the love of pumpkins and sanity, shop elsewhere.
Spirit Halloween? Chef’s kiss. A masterpiece in comparison.
Save your money. Save your nerves. Save yourself from receiving a costume that looks like it took a gap year on the streets.
