Important Points

We rely on DPD courier to deliver our balloons, although the success rate is really high at 96%, some deliveries unfortunately do arrive late, and therefore we do not guarantee preferred delivery dates or times, so please bear this in mind when ordering, we recommend that, if possible, you send your balloons to arrive the day before you need them. For more information, please refer to our Refund Policy.

If you order after 12noon on a Saturday, the earliest your order can be delivered is on Tuesday.

We highly recommend —especially for large orders— that you give us as much notice as possible to ensure we have the stock available.

It is vital that you supply as much information with your order as possible, including an active email address and a daytime telephone number, just in case there are any problems.

Once you have submitted your order you should be taken to a "Thank You" screen giving you the main details for your order. You will also receive an auto-generated email response confirming your order and providing you with a direct link to our Tracking Facility.

If you do not receive this notification, please check your spam filter. If you still can't find your confirmation email you must contact us immediately as we may not have received your order.

Delivery Address

To achieve our greatest efficiency, we require full and concise addressing details. It is most important for every order to contain the fullest, normal address details. THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAIL IS THE ADDRESS POSTCODE.

Provided full address details are supplied, as requested, all deliveries should be made very precisely.

We cannot be responsible for any problems, which occur because of incorrect information. If a totally incorrect address is supplied, an old address for the recipient or the wrong number in the road for example, the delivery will be made to that address. We will not be responsible for leaving at the address as given.

Delivery Problems

From time-to-time, situations may occur which will influence our ability to provide the same high level of service. You as the customer would be kept informed, at the earliest opportunity and alternative action may need to be agreed. Examples of this type of problem are 1) Delays or suspension of the chosen delivery company's service 2) Adverse weather 3) Civil unrest 4) Strikes 5) Fuel shortages 6) Communications failures 7) Acute material shortages. Placing an order with us means the acceptance of reasonable alterations and delays to our service under these conditions.

3rd Party Locations

These premises would include Hotels, Hospitals, Business, factory/office block, golf club, function room, wedding reception, hotel, hospital and many other non-domestic situations.

The main problem is that people move around. We can only deliver to a person if they are in the location we are told they should be in. If an order is sent to someone at a hotel and they have left early, we cannot be responsible. The gift will be left at that location, and it becomes the responsibility of the recipient to collect it.

We must emphasize that your delivery will be made to the nearest point in the location that is allowed. We cannot be responsible should your order then not be made available to the intended recipient.

Leave safe or with a Neighbour

Due to the perishable nature of our goods all our deliveries are sent with instructions to leave safe or with a neighbour if no-one is in.
