Northern Ireland Delivery IMPORTANT!

Our courier firm, UK Mail will not deliver to Northern Ireland so we're forced to send orders to this region via Royal Mail. Royal Mail will only take boxes up to a certain size and as a result balloons such as our Megalloons and other larger balloons or balloon bouquets over 5 balloons cannot be sent to Northern Ireland.

If an order is placed that cannot be fulfilled for any of the above mentioned reasons we reserve the right to amend the order to remedy this. This could involve us sending less or smaller balloons. We will always attempt to contact the customer to discuss these alterations but if she/he can't be reached we will send the best alternative and if necessary discuss these modifications after the fact with the customer.

Delivery Methods

We offer several styles of service at different costs. These services offer different levels of guarantee and refunds. It is important to the smooth running of our service, that every customer understands the difference in these services and chooses the service appropriate to their needs.

(2) Royal Mail Special Delivery PRE 1 PM Service.
(3) Royal Mail Special Delivery PRE 9 AM Service.

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 as a result of incorrect information. If a totally incorrect address is supplied, an old address for the recipient or the wrong number in the road, 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 delays in or suspension of the Royal Mail Service, adverse weather, civil unrest, strikes, fuel shortages, communications failures, acute balloon or material shortages or delays. The placing of an order would mean the acceptance of reasonable alteration to our service under these conditions.

WE MUST STATE THAT WE CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDITION OF THE BALLOONS, OR CLAIMS OF NON DELIVERY, IF THE RECIPIENT FAILS TO COLLECT THEIR BALLOONS. UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES NO REFUNDS OR COMPLIMENTARY RE-DELIVERY CAN BE OFFERED.

3rd Party Delivery

These premises would include hotels, hospitals, businesses, factories/office blocks, golf clubs, function rooms, wedding receptions 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 the balloon(s) then not be made available to the recipient, the speed with which it is made available or any deterioration in the condition of the balloon(s) as a result of any delays.
