    3 Stars You get what you pay for!! 05/06/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very cheap cards, paper and gifts.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some items of poor quality.

    The Card Factory is a greeting card and gift retailer which sells products at an unbeatable price. They have lots of stores all over the UK and we have one in my local town which has been opened about a year now. The store always seems to be quite busy when I go in here, which is probably due to the low prices of the products in here. ~ WHAT THEY SELL ~ Card Factory sell a range of greeting cards. Some of these are for special people or occasions such as Mum, Dad, Sister, Brother, Wedding Day, etc. They don’t have a huge range of these cards though so only expect a small selection when you go ... more

    5 Stars Card Factory - Great store with great prices 05/05/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap prices, high quality products

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Coming from a large family I am constantly in need of cards and small gifts for birthdays and holidays. When I was younger my Mum would shop in Clintons which was ok back then but now that money is tighter its no longer possible for me to do. So when a birthday rolls round, which typically for me is 2 times per month I pop down to my local Card Factory store in my town centre and have a look around.The shop always very aesthetically pleasing and depending on the time of year and which popular occasion is coming up it is decorated according. For example, the last time I visited it was full of ... more

    4 Stars perfect for any occassion 20/03/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap cards, good quality cards, good variety

    Disadvantages Disadvantages shops quite small!

    This shop is perfect for birthday cards or anniversaries, not christmas cards or valentines day cards, i dont say this because they dont have enough stock or good enough variety, they do, I say this because my local card factory is tiny and at these important times of the year it does be CRAMMED with people, i'm not a claustrophobic person but I just had to escape from this shop last december when I went in for a chrismas card! I literally felt like a sardine and I had to leave, unfortunately, because I know I could get a great quality card for a bargain price!The cards I have seen range from ... more

    4 Stars Not a Factory, but a decent Card! 28/02/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent service; plenty to choose from.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Small shop.

    Having gone in to my local branch of the Card Factory today, I would just like to share my own thoughts on the shop. However I must just point out that this review is not solely based on my visit today, as I do actually in fact get the majority if not all of my cards in this shop. Granted the Plymouth shop may well be slightly smaller than other shops, but the range of goods that they sell is so huge that it all seems to be crammed in - but as I said, the Plymouth shop is not that big in terms of floor size and so everything seems to be closer or more on top of you than I am sure other similar ... more

    4 Stars Bargain cards, gift bags, wrapping paper, bows, balloons etc... 07/04/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap, good quality cards and gift wrap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can be very busy, no card payments

    I am a huge fan of the card factory, why pay £2+ for a card in Clinton's when you can get three or more for that price in the card factory and they are just as nice. My family have the same view as I do that a card for any occasion is about the thought you put into what you write on it and for sending it not how much you paid for the card. The card factory offer a huge choice in cards for all occasions for as little as £0.29 each!! The cards available also have great designs from modern, cute and funny cards on offer. In fact if I am shopping for my grand parents then the card factory is my ... more

    4 Stars Why pay more for something that gets thrown away?! 23/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great range, good quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages layout not great

    I do like to spend time chosing nice cards for special occasions and it does make my heart sink when in a shop such as Clinton's and I find the perfect card but then realise the price of it. I can never understand how a card that isn't handmade can cost over £3, it doesn't sound like a lot but I'm sure you all agree that if you have to buy several then it soon adds up and it's a shame when usually the card ends up being thrown away anyway. In the shop Card Factory the cards are all at a very decent price so that when you do go through them all and find that perfect one you won't feel your ... more

    5 Stars Card Factory is soooo cheap! 31/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages sometimes a queue

    I have always hated paying more than £1 for a card, so since discovering Card Factory I've rarely bought cards anywhere else. Their cards are cheap compared to rival card shops, most less than a pound. They also have bulk buy cards, 3, 5, 7, or 10 for £1, which is great value as I regularly need birthday cards for university friends. They also have a good tasteful selection of novelty cards. In addition to cards they have all the accessories you would expect: balloons, banners, gift bags, gift wrap, ribbon, door signs, keyrings, gifts, toys etc. I bought a graduation bear for my sister for £2 ... more

    4 Stars My Love/Hate Relationship. 05/04/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, quality cards, wrapping and decorations.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Shop space is minimal, very stressful.

    I remember clear as day when the 'Card Factory' popped up in my hometown some 10 years ago. I was dragged in there by my Mum for a good snoop around, and have never looked back since. With high street competitors such as Clintons and Birthdays offering rather overpriced occassion items for sale, the 'Card Factory' has become a hit with bargain hunters, last minute buyers, and those like me that simply hate paying through the nose for an item that will be thrown into the trash not long after it has been received. The 'Card Factory' is a shop comprising of various different items mainly ... more

    4 Stars Card Factory 14/12/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great products at low prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Long queues and some products a little tacky

    Card buying can be an expensive thing, especially at this time of year and as much as I love the quality of the cards in stores such as Clintons, with my large family I just cannot afford to buy all my family cards from stores such as these at Christmas. So I was pretty impressed with Card Factory opened up a store in my local town recently. For me this store offers good quality products, but at really cost effective prices. Obviously their main market is the card market. They offer cards for all occasions including birthdays, anniversaries, moving, sorry, thank you and general cards too ... more

    4 Stars Quality cards at bargain prices 02/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent value for money, great promotions

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Shops always busy, some relatives hard to find

    I'm slightly unaccustomed to writing reviews on shops in general, but I was thinking of something to write and this popped into my mind. I first discovered Card Factory a few years ago, after walking past it umpteen times and dismissing it as yet another card/birthday shop on the high street. One particular day I was struggling to find a good sentimental card for Mum's birthday that wasn't going to break the bank, so I thought I'd give it a try. Since that day, Card Factory has been my number one stop for all my greetings card needs. The shops are not terribly big, and usually crowded so ... more
