Inflation Options:

Store pickup or local delivery - Inflated: Most balloons on our site include helium or air inflation in the price. Unless otherwise stated in the item description the balloon will come inflated.

Shipping: If you choose USPS or UPS shipping as your delivery method the balloon will come in its original manufacturing packaging if applicable. It will not be inflated. 

• Balloons that arrive flat can be filled with air or helium.
• Shipped latex balloons will not contain hi-float.
• Be careful not to overfill the balloon as it can burst.
• For foil balloons, use proper inflation equipment. 
• To fill with helium you should contact a local retailer. Grocery stores, dollar stores, pharmacies, floral shops, and others can often fill the balloons with helium for a fee. 

Shipping times: for in-stock items we will ship the order the same business day if we receive the order before 12 pm (noon) Central Time (CST). Orders received after noon will ship the following business day. 

Shipping Costs: We ship USPS & UPS. Rates are real-time carrier rates based on order weight, shipping speed & location.

Indoors:

• Helium: All of our helium filled latex balloons contain Hi-Float, which prolongs the float time. Shipped latex balloons will not contain hi-float. We find that our balloons generally last at least 3 days when hi-float is used, but typically longer when kept indoors! The float time of your balloons will depend on the environmental conditions of the space and we cannot guarantee that the balloons will last any specific amount of time.
• Air Filled: Air-filled balloons when kept in a temperature-controlled environment can last for several weeks.

Outdoors: Although we use the highest quality balloons available on the market, balloons naturally do not do well in the sun. Temperature, humidity, sunlight, rain, and wind may affect the stability and longevity of your balloons outdoors. Since air & helium expands when it's hot, the balloons tend to pop when in direct sun (especially dark-colored balloons). We always recommend placing your balloons in a shaded area to ensure they look great for your event!

To make a helium balloon bouquet you can add all the balloons you would like in your bouquet to your cart. Leave a note how you would like the balloons arranged. If you would like multiple bouquets leave detailed notes. Don't forget your weights.

• Pick Up: prepare your vehicle. Make sure you have the seats down or the back seat clear of objects. Remove anything sharp from the area the balloons will be. Keep your vehicle cool in the warm months.

• Delivery: prepare your space. Make sure the space is clean and free of debris. Ensure our team has sufficient room to work. Remove anything sharp from the area the balloons will be.

• Balloons look their best at room temperature – keep them warm on cool days and cool on warm days. Balloons can burst if they get too warm!

• Inhalation of helium can be harmful. Never breathe in helium.

• Uninflated or broken balloons can create a choking hazard. Keep an eye on your little ones.

• After your party properly dispose of uninflated balloons. We can recycle and reuse balloon weights and transport bags.

• Do not release balloons into the air. Help keep balloons out of our waterways and powerlines.
