Oriental Trading Company
Oriental Trading Company is a long-established American direct retailer and e-commerce company specializing in party supplies, toys, crafts, teaching materials, novelties, costumes, gifts, and event-related products. The company was founded in Omaha, Nebraska in 1932 by Harry Watanabe and originally operated as a wholesale supplier of novelties and gifts. By the 1950s, Oriental Trading had become an important supplier to the carnival trade, and over the following decades it expanded through printed catalogs, direct marketing, and eventually e-commerce. Its website launched in 1999, helping transform the company from a traditional catalog business into a major online retailer.
Today, Oriental Trading sells more than 60,000 products and serves individuals, schools, churches, nonprofits, businesses, healthcare organizations, event planners, and other customers. Major categories include party decorations, toys, classroom materials, arts and crafts, religious supplies, promotional items, costumes, educational products, and fundraising merchandise. The company also operates a family of brands that includes Oriental Trading, Fun Express, MindWare, SmileMakers, and Morris Costumes, giving it a broader presence in educational toys, healthcare giveaways, wholesale merchandise, and costume products.
Oriental Trading is not an independent publicly traded company. Berkshire Hathaway acquired Oriental Trading in 2012, and the company continues to operate as part of the Berkshire Hathaway group. Berkshire Hathaway’s current subsidiary listings continue to identify Oriental Trading Company among its businesses. Oriental Trading has also expanded through acquisitions including MindWare, SmileMakers, and Morris Costumes. The company remains headquartered in the Omaha metropolitan area and continues to operate as a privately held Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary.

For most customer issues, the best starting point is 1-800-875-8480. This line handles general product, order, delivery, payment, promotion, return, refund, and account inquiries. Oriental Trading also offers live chat, which operates longer hours than its standard telephone service on many days. Customers with international orders should use 402-331-6800 instead because international shipping, customs, product eligibility, and payment requirements can differ from domestic orders.
Before calling, have the customer number, order or invoice number, item number, billing or shipping name, date of purchase, and a concise description of the problem available. Oriental Trading’s support forms specifically request information such as the item number and customer or invoice number, so having those details ready can make it easier for the representative to locate the transaction.
Customers with organizational net-terms accounts should use the specialized account contacts when appropriate. If a normal customer-service representative cannot resolve a serious issue, ask for Customer Relations or a supervisor and retain any correspondence, case information, photographs, invoices, or delivery documentation associated with the complaint.
Complaints may involve damaged merchandise, missing items, incorrect products, shipping problems, billing, refunds, returns, promotional offers, account access, product quality, net-terms accounts, or customer service. Before escalating, gather the order or invoice number, item numbers, purchase date, shipping information, photographs where relevant, payment records, and copies of previous communications.
Start by calling 1-800-875-8480 or using Oriental Trading’s online contact form or live chat. Provide the order number, affected item, problem description, and the resolution you want. For an ordinary order issue, this route will normally be more effective than immediately contacting the corporate office.
Use the department that matches the issue. International customers should use 402-331-6800, while organizations with net-terms questions can use the account-specific customer-service routes. Customer Relations can also assist with certain account or escalation matters.
If the initial representative cannot resolve the complaint, ask to speak with a supervisor or Customer Relations representative. Explain what resolution has already been offered, what remains unresolved, and whether you are seeking a replacement, refund, account correction, shipping adjustment, or another specific outcome.
Submit the complaint through Oriental Trading’s official online contact form or send applicable account correspondence to orders@oriental.com. Written communication is especially useful when photos, invoices, product information, or a detailed timeline need to be included.
For a serious unresolved corporate matter, correspondence can be directed to Oriental Trading Company, Inc., 4206 South 108th Street, Omaha, NE 68137. Include copies of relevant documents and reference previous customer-service contacts.
Account, billing, privacy, institutional purchasing, and international-order complaints should be directed to the applicable specialized team. Large organizational buyers should include purchase-order or net-terms information so the issue can be reviewed against the correct account.
Consumer complaints involving misleading advertising, unfair business practices, or other qualifying issues may be reported to the Federal Trade Commission or the applicable state consumer-protection authority. The correct agency depends on the nature of the dispute.
Customers may consider filing a complaint with their state attorney general’s consumer-protection division when normal company channels do not resolve a qualifying consumer dispute. Unauthorized or disputed card charges may also be reviewed through the card issuer subject to applicable dispute rules.
For significant unresolved contractual or financial disputes, review the terms associated with the transaction or organizational account. If the amount involved is substantial or the dispute creates broader legal consequences, qualified legal advice may help determine whether small-claims court, civil litigation, arbitration, or another remedy is appropriate.
