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 floati... See more

The balloon was delivered promptly

The balloon was delivered promptly, however it was a bit deflated so not as great as I would have liked. However the company offered a replacement straight away or a credit on my account - which I used.

Very happy with delivery

Very happy with delivery , the balloon was amazing ( and free sweets!) I would give 5 star but would have preferred a choice on colour for added balloons to compliment.. possibly my fault should have stayed a gift for a little girl .. otherwise very pleased .. thank you

1 of 3 balloons arrived deflated

Was very disappointed to find out that one of my three balloons that i sent, arrived deflated. The other two looked lovely and it was a shame the 3rd ruined the effect. Also would have appreciated a notification that it had been delivered as well as dispatched as it was a surprise gift so was unsure if it had arrived.

Ordered balloon for delivery

Ordered balloon for delivery, then due to circumstances wanted to change delivery to day before to different address, change made and confirmed and arrived as per new instructions. Excellent service and lovely balloon made a nice surprise. Will buy from again

Excellent service but ballon rather deflated!

Excellent service. Ballon was amazing only fault was it was a little deflated on arrival out of the box! The ballon only just made it off the ground! Unfortunately I think that was due to weekend delivery?

Hi Clare,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review!

We're really sorry to hear that the balloon arrived a little deflated. This certainly doesn't sound as it should! If you'd like to email us on sales@ballooninabox.co.uk with your order number we'd be happy to take a look at this and make it right for you!

Kind regards

Terrible experience never again

Ordered balloons for a my sis in laws new baby as a surprise only for the balloons to arrive deflated. So embarrassing. Contacted and they sent out replacement balloons a few days later and today heard they didn't even last a day. Asked for compensation and they refused. This company is a joke. I had a few more events coming up and was considering buying more from them but not now. I will never be purchasing from them again. Better to go to other companies where it is actually cheaper but better quality. I also wanted to clarify the lie they told me in my email that the balloons were of higher value than originally purchased. Clearly you don't know how to calculate because it was actually less than what I had purchased. The customer service is just appauling and they lie to make themselves look better. Terrible experience never again!

Hello,

We are very sorry again for the disappointment caused. Please kindly note that the dispatch date is calculated based on the delivery method selected and the requested delivery date.

We do make it clear on the website that the Free Super Saver delivery option usually takes 1-2 days to arrive but very occasionally takes longer. We recommend the Nominated Date Delivery if it's important that it arrives on a particular day.

Kind regards

No customer service

Arrived on time - but lasted less than 30 minutes - seam at side had just come apart. Messaged this company - but got absolutely no response at all. Will not use this company again because of their lack of customer service.

Hello,

We do ensure all our balloon gifts are in perfect condition before they leave our studios, but unfortunately due to the nature of helium balloons they are very occasionally damaged or deflate in transit, so please accept our apologies for this.

We must also apologise for the lack of reply. Unfortunately your email hadn't dropped through to our main inbox but we have now located this and responded with an offer to resolve this for you.

Kind regards

I had to give 1 star so that I could write this review. I ordered in plenty of time. Despite this the balloon was over 2 weeks late. The company were apologetic but refused compensation. This was for a special birthday and I’ll never use them again. Slow to respond to calls and emails.

Hi Elaine,

We are very sorry for the disappointment caused by the late delivery of your order.

The order was dispatched on time to arrive on the requested delivery date so we can only apologise for the delay with Royal Mail. We declared the parcel lost and issued a full refund for the order promptly once we were aware of the parcel not arriving. Unfortunately beyond this we would be unable to offer any compensation.

We did just want to mention that no extra charges were placed on the order for the delivery area - we charge the same amount for delivery across the UK.

You have kindly mentioned that you had used us many times in the past with no issues so we are sorry that the delay with the courier on this occasion has caused you to lose faith in us.

Kind regards

Granddaughter’s 18th Birthday balloon

Ordering process was quick and efficient.
The after sales service was excellent, promptly taking action to my queries.
The one thing that lets this company down, is the carrier used. You’ll need to pay an extra charge during payment process, if the balloon is to be delivered on time.

50th Birtday

I bought some balloons for my sister's 50th. I mistakenly put the wrong delivery date on my order and the balloons came a week early. When I contacted the company they were only too happy to help. They reordered the balloons immediately. The balloons came on the required date. Great product, excellent customer service.

Get Well Wishes

I sent a get well balloon to my sister as I couldn't get to see her and she loved it! She said it was such a lovely surprise and every time she sees it twirling around in the corner it makes her smile! I found the balloon in a box website really easy to use with a great selection of balloons for every occasion, and the balloon gift very good value. I'll definitely use this company again and in fact, having spotted the Valentine's Day balloons, I might just send one! Just for fun!
