Balloon buying a breeze! It was recently my nieces 18th birthday and living abroad I was unable to attend her party. What better way to celebrate than having a big inflatable balloon rise out a box. S... See more

Fantastic company

Fantastic company. There was an issue with the balloon I had ordered they picked up in the issue before dispatch. Got in touch with and sorted it all out no problem.
Gorgeous balloons and they are huge!
Will definitely be shopping with you again and recommending you to friends and family.

Product good, delivery appalling

Balloons somehow survived being delivered two days earlier than requested to an empty house and left outside during Storm Eowyn. That did not make up for the surprise on my wife's 40th being completely ruined as we arrived home to a sodden cardboard box on the doorstep. DPD the delivery company, despite box being clearly marked for Monday delivery. Not impressed at all.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review and for bringing this to our attention. We're so very sorry to hear that your balloon gift didn’t arrive when it should have.

As you have noted, we did specifically arrange a Monday delivery as per the delivery date selected with your order so we can only apologise. On this occasion it looks as though the courier has acted a little too efficiently, we will be following this up with them as we know that you specifically chose and paid for delivery on a certain date.

We hope that despite the gift arriving early that they were enjoyed and that your wife enjoyed her birthday.

Kind regards
Balloon In A Box Team

Birthday Surprise

We were staying at a lodge and I wanted a surprise for my wife's birthday. The site suggested your website. There was a good choice on your website, easy to use. Delivered on time to the lodge. Opening the box for the balloon to come out is a fun way to surprise. Even the interior of the box was decorated. Very pleased with the service.

Deflated balloons

One of the three balloons arrived deflated, the important one was beginning to deflate.

Hi Theresa,

Thank you for contacting us.

We're very sorry to hear this. We do check and ensure all balloons are in perfect condition prior to dispatch but unfortunately they can occasionally get damaged or deflate during transit.

I can see that you have contacted us via email regarding this issue and we have offered to resend the order for you or a credit to use for a future occasion.

We are very sorry for any disappointment caused.

Kind regards

Everything you could want and then some.

Birthday balloon arrived promptly as promised, but due to Christmas had to be a few days early and I was afraid it would lose its lift in the intervening days. Needn't have worried - it's still floating today (18 days later), only a little lower. Recipient was thrilled - it's gorgeous! Thank you, balloon-in-a-box - I would recommend you to anyone, any time!

the air goes out quickly

in general it was ok, but unfortunately the air in the balloons goes out quickly. And it's a pity that you can no longer track the exact route of the courier (as it used to be)

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review.

We are very sorry to hear that your balloon didn't arrive in the condition that it should have. We ensure that all balloons are in perfect condition before leaving our studios, but unfortunately due to the nature of helium balloons they can very occasionally become damaged or deflate during transit so we're very sorry about this.

Unfortunately I can't see that you had reached out at all to us to bring this to our attention as we would always like to reach a resolution for customers. If you'd like to email us on sales@ballooninabox.co.uk with your order details we would be happy to look into this for you.

Kind regards

Cured my niblet's tonsillitis

Cured my niblet's tonsillitis I'm sure of it. Ordered a get well soon balloon and it made them smile for the first time since they got sick, and it was all up hill afterwards. Sure the antibiotics might have played a part, but I'm sure it's the balloon I sent. 😉
