Hello John

We are so sorry that DPD has let us down on this occasion with your delivery. Please be assured your order was dispatch on time, and the courier had this out on delivery on the correct day. We responded to your email within 8 minutes and contacted DPD regarding the issue with the delivery driver. As explained on email, we did everything we could to try and get DPD to ask the driver to return, however this was unsuccessful. We have resent a fresh order for you, as well as processing you a full refund and raising this with the managerial team at DPD.

Kind Regards

Excellent customer service

The balloons are really fun and make an excellent gift. Unfortunately, not long after arrival my little one accidentally popped the balloon. I contacted customer services and they sent another balloon, free of charge. My little one was over the moon. Thanks so much again x

Bad Quality.

I'm never usually one to leave a bad review but the Quality of these balloons from this company are absolutely shocking and for the price you expect a high quality baloon. First time using this company for a helium birthday balloon, I've purchased balloons god knows how many times from other companies over the years and I've never ever had a problem were the balloons turn up deflated and saggy. I've always had balloons that stay pumped for over a month before they even start to go saggy but you can tell even the quality is very bad. I'd definitely avoid if your wanting a decent balloon.

Hello Sam

As explained in our email conversation, your order was delivered on time, 14 days ago now. We would not recommend getting helium balloons delivered 15 days before your event in the future as it is highly likely they will not be looking at their best as they would have been the day they arrived. As explained on our website, in our terms & conditions and FAQ's, the balloons should last fully inflated for around 4-6 days. This is the average float time for all helium foil balloons.

Many Thanks
Chloe

Brilliant Company

The balloon was ordered on Friday afternoon and still arrived, with my nephews age and name on it, by the Sunday morning, the day of his 18th Birthday. I thought it was great value given such an excellent service, inclkuding Sunday delivery.

Best Balloons I have ever had!

First of all, I have ordered from Balloon Monkey many times and always had excellent service and great balloons but this time they outdid themselves! I ordered a bunch of five balloons for my birthday as a present from my elderly father. They arrived on the day requested, jan 5th, in time for my birthday the next day. They have lasted until today March 4th and have only gone in the bin today as we decided enough was enough and gave up with the “Let’s see how long these balloons last game!” They still had plenty of life left in them. Great selection of balloons. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you Balloon Monkey!

Unique balloon designs!

I was looking for new home helium balloons to send to my friend on their moving in day and these guys were the only company that did them (other than card factory but their delivery wasn't quick enough for when I needed it and besides these designs were better) They did a quick, clear delivery with photo evidence to confirm it was there and my friend absolutely loved them!
