Finding the best places to buy Halloween costumes online can be a challenge. There are so many online retailers that it can be hard to know where to start. Your time is valuable, and you don’t want to waste it perusing overpriced or uninspiring costumes. You also don’t want to worry about cheaply-made costumes that will tear too easily or worse – that won’t fit because of inaccurate sizing.

That’s why I’ve put together a shortlist of the best online costume stores I’ve found. These are the ones I personally use, and they’ve never let me down in terms of selection, quality, accuracy of sizes, and price.

General Halloween Costumes

If you’re looking for Halloween costumes to suit every age range, including popular licensed stuff, here are my top three recommended online stores. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, you’ll probably need to make it yourself:

1. Spirit Halloween – By far the best place to get your Halloween costume. They have an amazing selection and rarely will they not have what you’re looking for. In the past, if I couldn’t find  a costume I was looking for, this is where I always wound up when I finally did find it. For that reason, they’ve since become my first stop.
2. Amazon Halloween Shop (or Amazon.ca if you’re in Canada) – You just can’t argue with Amazon’s wide selection, fast shipping, and competitive prices.
3. Official Costumes – These guys have a great selection of costumes, and also provide support via phone and live chat (not just email), which is invaluable when you need help.
