Frequently Asked Questions

ANSWER:

WILL DELIVER YOUR BALLOON ORDER AS SPECIFIED TO THE DESTINATION YOU CHOOSE WITHIN THE TIME FRAME YOU PAID WITHIN OUR SERVICE AREA.

ANSWER:
MY CUSTOM BALLOONS DOES NOT USE CHEAP PARTY STORE BRAND BALLOONS, WE USE THE BEST QUALITY BRAND BALLOONS SUCH AS QUALATEX, TUFTEX AND BETALLIC TO CREATE YOUR BALLOON BOUQUETS AND CUSTOM BALLOON DECORATIONS.

FOIL BALLOONS FLOAT FOR UP TO 1 WEEK AND LOOK FULL FOR 3-4 DAYS.

LATEX BALLOONS WILL LAST 18 to 20 HOURS.

24 INCH ROUND LATEX BALLOONS FLOAT FOR 3 DAYS HOWEVER THEY WILL LOOK  BEST FOR 24 HOURS IN DOORS.
PARTY STORES USE ECONOMICAL BRANDS THAT LAST 10-12 HOURS

WE CAN ALSO TREAT LATEX BALLOONS WITH HI-FLOAT TO KEEP THEM FLOATING FOR 3-4 DAYS IF NOT LONGER. THE HI-FLOAT LIQUID SOLUTION IS DESIGNED TO SEAL THE PORES OF THE LATEX BALLOON AND KEEP LATEX BALLOONS AFLOAT FIVE TIMES LONGER THAN UNTREATED BALLOONS.

OUR BALLOON DECOR WILL LAST FOR THE LENGTH OF YOUR CELEBRATION AND IN MOST SITUATIONS MUCH LONGER.

ANSWER:

BALLOONS THAT ARE USED OUTDOORS ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO LAST A CERTAIN TIME FRAME AS THE HEAT, WIND, RAIN ETC… AFFECTS THE DURATION OF THE BALLOONS THIS INCLUDES CUSTOM BALLOON DECORATIONS SUCH AS BALLOON COLUMNS AND ARCHES. DARK COLOR BALLOON DON’T DO WELL OUTDOORS AND START BURSTING IN MATTER OF MINUTES.

ANSWER:

WE RECOMMEND ORDERING BALLOON DECORATIONS AT LEAST FIVE BUSINESS DAYS IN ADVANCE. THIS WILL GIVE US ENOUGH TIME TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE BALLOONS AND COLORS WITHOUT HAVING TO CHARGE YOU ANY DELIVERY RUSH FEES.

DELIVERY AND SET-UP CHARGES WILL VARY BASED ON THE NATURE OF THE JOB, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO QUOTE YOU AN ESTIMATE ONCE WE KNOW THE DETAILS FOR THE SETUP WITHIN THE VENUE.

ANSWER:

WE DELIVER WITHIN AN 8 MILE RADIUS FROM ARLINGTON VA 22204

WHEN YOU PLACE A BOUQUET DELIVERY ORDER BY 10AM, WE CAN OFTEN PROVIDE SAME-DAY DELIVERY. OUR CHEAPEST DELIVERY RATE FOR BOUQUETS IS BETWEEN 11:00 A.M. TO 1:00 P.M. ANY TIME AFTER 2:00 P.M. DUE TO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC EITHER EARLY MORNING OR AFTER HOURS, DELIVERY RATE CHARGES ARE MUCH HIGHER.

LARGE BALLOON DECORATIONS ARE A BIT COMPLICATED BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF BALLOONS THAT NEED TO BE TRANSPORTED AND SETUP.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE HAVE A 30 MINUTE RUSH SETUP FOR A DECORATION WE WILL NEED SEVERAL BALLOON DECORATORS TO COMPLETE THE TASK AND THAT WOULD REQUIRE A BULK BALLOON DELIVER RATE AND A RUSH LABOR SETUP CHARGE. CALL US FOR QUOTE.

ANSWER:

BALLOON DELIVERY FEES DEPEND ON THE DELIVERY LOCATION, TIME OF DAY, AND IF THERE ARE ANY ADDITIONAL SERVICES THAT YOU MAY NEED SUCH US SETUP, TEAR DOWN ETC…. OUR CURRENT RATES ARE FOR BALLOON DROP OFF’S ONLY.

FOR THE POSTED DELIVERY RATES WE WILL TRANSPORT UP TO 100 STANDARD 11IN LATEX BALLOONS, BULK BALLOON ORDERS WILL ACQUIRE A HIGHER DELIVERY RATE.
