Is Card Factory legit?

Legit

Card Factory, the chain behind so many birthday cards and helium balloons, is a genuine retailer with shops across the UK and Ireland, though the snags mostly come with online orders. A card that must arrive before the big day depends on a courier, and the terms rule out responsibility for carrier delays.

What we checked

  • Greeting card retailer since 1997
  • Head office in Wakefield
  • Parent listed on London Stock Exchange
  • Ratings on other review websites: 3.5/5

Watch out for

  • A click and collect order left in the shop, which the terms only hold for 10 days after the ready email.
  • A personalised card or gift you want to cancel, outside the usual 14-day change-of-mind window.
  • An online order still missing a month on, as the terms limit liability after 30 days unless it was reported.

Is your Card Factory order still not here?

We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Card Factory as a formal letter.
