2023 Halloween Costume Store Reviews
Spirit Halloween
- Costumes for people of all ages and sizes
- 14-day return policy
- Retail locations available from the end of August to beginning of November
- In business for 40+ years
You've probably seen Spirit Halloween every August through November in a mall near you, but their online store is available all the time for your costume needs. Spirit has thousands of choices for people of all ages, and they changed their return policy to let you try your Halloween costume on for size. Unfortunately, they also cut the refund period by a week, and customer feedback overall isn't great for this retailer.
Trendy Halloween
- Free standard shipping on orders over $39.99
- 14-day return policy, no exchanges
- "A+" rated by the BBB
Trendy Halloween used to be a terrific place to find costumes that were, naturally, on trend. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be anyone behind the wheel here anymore: social media channels have gone quiet, and the only way to contact the company is through their online form. Plus, most of the Halloween costumes we tried to buy gave us an "out of stock" error - but only after we took the time to add them to our cart. The BBB may still give Trendy Halloween their top grade, but we've taken them almost to the bottom of our list.

Where Can You Find the Best Selection of Halloween Costumes?
There's something in Halloween for everyone, from the kids who can't wait to get their hands on piles of free candy, to grown-ups who get to feel like a kid again by dressing up like their favorite superhero or celebrity. Of course, at the heart of any Halloween celebration is the perfect costume. If you're tired of dragging out the same tired clown, witch, or devil attire every year and you're ready for something new, it's time to get shopping!
But wait - what if it's not even fall yet? Or what if you're trying to dress up your kids for their end-of-the-year theme days at school? No need to panic: even though they're called "Halloween" costumes, you can shop for almost any imaginable attire with any number of online retailers who keep the proverbial doors open year-round. That's especially true now that conventions, cosplay, and other dress-up occasions have become so popular - why should that kind of fun be limited to the month of October, right?
Halloween Costume Store FAQ
Continued from above...
One of the best things about shopping for your Halloween costume online is the selection. Have you been to a retail store a few weeks before the holiday and seen how picked-over it gets? Good luck finding anything that fits or matches, let alone a costume that everyone will be talking about.
Yes, you're always going to find the most options in stock if you shop sooner rather than later, but some online stores can hook you up with a killer costume - literally, if you're into dressing up like a slasher movie - and get it delivered even just a few days before Halloween.
With so many Halloween costume stores out there, and so many themes to choose from, it's normal to feel a little overwhelmed when deciding where to shop. Want to make it a little easier? Keep these factors in mind:
- Ease of navigating the site. Some stores make it quick and fun to find exactly what you're looking for, or to get ideas if you're feeling uninspired. Others make you click and click and click just to see what they have. Look for filters that let you sort by your budget, size, or desired theme.
- Selection. Even the most user-friendly online store isn't much good if it only carries a handful of Halloween costumes. How many will you have to choose from? More importantly, are they actually in stock?
- Return policy. Yeah, so maybe you thought you'd fit perfectly into that Elvis costume, but it's a little tight in some places and loose in others. Will the store let you return it? Be sure to read the details about how long you have to send it back and if the package has to be unopened or just in new, resalable condition.
- Customer satisfaction. Has the store been rated by the Better Business Bureau? Have shoppers had a good experience getting their Halloween costumes delivered on time? Was the return process hassle-free or hard to deal with? Are the costumes well-made or flimsy?
To help you get your spooky on, TopConsumerReviews.com has evaluated and ranked today's most popular online retailers of Halloween costumes. We're sure this information will make it fun and fast to get the perfect outfit before the big party or trick-or-treat!
