Party R Us

Party R Us is the only dollar store I know of in Forest Hills conveniently located on Austin Street in the middle of the busy block. I’ve been here on multiple occasions to buy shampoo, candles, bathroom mats, toilet cleaner, and other miscellaneous household products for a fraction of Duane Reade prices. I’ve been satisfied with every purchase except for one time.
Once I purchased a shower head that was defective. The water squirted through the shower head openings where the parts are connected. So I went back to the store to return it however the store policy is ‘No returns’. Only exchanges or receive store credit. I understand. This is a privately owned business.
Other than no refunds, the store is great in terms of selection and prices. You’ll find great deals on school supplies, birthday merchandise, holiday items (Christmas, Valentines, etc.), and other useful goods. Just remember to avoid the shower heads!

Party R Us opened up not long ago and it pretty much a variety store. They sell almost everything. It’s not just a party store. They have school supplies, home and kitchen stuff, and a whole bunch of other home utility accessories. I bought a few wash buckets from Party R Us and they worked out great. Reasonable size for a reasonable price compared to places like Target. I also looked at some their gift wraps and didn’t like any of them. It’s not that they were bad, they just have a lack of variety for gift wraps. A majority of them were children’s or birthday gift wraps. I was looking for something of a solid color or wedding theme gift wrap. The owners here are Chinese and they always seem friendly and helpful.

I went here on a whim and was startled when the owner yelled at my child for playing with a car. Don’t come here if you have happy children!

Bad service. They will hover over you if your kid tries to play with their precious toys and then have the audacity to ask you are you going to buy anything or just play.

They have pretty much everything you could need from a store like this. Organized, clean, good selection, good prices. I’m a teacher and i found a million awesome things for my classroom.

We stopped in over the weekend to check out the selection at Party R Us and I bought a mess of fun colorful stuff for work– pens, folders, and boxes. The store is so new and merchandise is so fresh, that the new plastic man-​made fragrance hits you as soon as you enter the store– YAY! Everything is priced to sell and there’s plenty to look at. Check it out. GO!
