Online they take the usual cards plus PayPal, which I always use just in case shipping goes sideways around October. Heads up: drop your promo code in the cart *before* clicking checkout, because the payment screen skips right past it. Also, their pop-up stores won't always honor online pricing or coupons.

Halloween Express is strict with returns, especially in October. Costumes usually become final sale about a week before the 31st. Don't tear the original insert card or packaging either, or they won't take it back. Plus, they’ll deduct the prepaid return label fee from your refund, so start the RMA online fast.

Yeah, Halloween Express doesn’t do referral links at all. Don’t waste your time looking for one. If you need a quick discount, just open an incognito tab and trigger the 15% email pop-up with a burner address. It drops right into the “Promo Code” field at checkout without minimum spend hassles.

Halloween Express does give first responders 10% off online, but don't bother jumping through verification hoops. Just grab the standard 20% coupon from their email pop-up instead; promo codes don't stack anyway. Also heads up, neither discount applies to oversized animatronics or shipping costs, and their seasonal retail pop-ups won't honor it.
