Delivery

UPDATE: June 2021 and onwards - If you are choosing a Sunday delivery slot then please be aware that in some cases our courier partner (DPD) are bringing some deliveries forward to the Saturday to free up volume space for key NHS contracts. If this will cause an issue then please contact us on info@partyonballoons.co.uk and we can look to help further with any enquiry.

Please read our delivery policy carefully to ensure your balloon will arrive on the required date. We cannot be held responsible if your balloon doesn't arrive on time, our courier partners may experience delays that are outside of our control.

While we endeavour to honour Next Day Delivery, we are at the mercy of our couriers. Deliveries may be affected by adverse weather conditions and other factors outside of our control.

All orders are dispatched in enough time so that they should arrive on your chosen delivery date. However, there are occasions where our couriers experience issues which means your delivery is delayed. If your delivery is one working day late, we will not provide a refund. If your delivery is more than one working day late, we may provide a refund depending on the circumstances.

Please note that our courier partners do not collect on weekends and as such all deliveries for a selected date which falls on a Monday will be dispatched on the Friday prior to the selected Monday. In recent times the excess volumes in the courier networks have meant that on occasion they may deliver your item early (Saturday or Sunday) If this is an issue then please choose another date as we cannot control these decisions.

If a delivery slot for a parcel is missed or refused for any reason (providing the original refusal is within the +1 working day policy for delivery dates) then DPD will attempt to redeliver on the next working day up to and including a maximum of 3 attempts, after these 3 seperate attempts the parcel will be returned to us at POB and we will not be liable for a refund on the item(s) as they are bespoke made and we cannot control the times to which they can be received, please make allowances and/or arrangements for these delivery slots to be met. Communications regarding the delivery slots are sent directly from the local delivering depot of DPD and are usually set by 11am on delivery days, please note this can vary in busy times and in certain geographical areas of Scotland and the Highlands.

Once your product has left our facilities and your tracking via our courier partner DPD begins then we are only made aware of any delivery issues when contacted from the customer as the information is relayed via email/SMS from DPD to the customer. Once we are notified we will respond in a timely fashion with possible resolves, please allow 24 hours to reply to each communciations (weekdays Monday-Friday).

We require your delivery address (including the postcode) to be correct before we ship your order. We cannot change the delivery address once your order has been shipped without incurring a cost. If you require us to change your shipping address after your order has been shipped, we will require you to pay the necessary fee to enable us to do this.

Pre-Dispatch Cancellation

If you decide to cancel your order, and providing your order has not been created or dispatched, you are entitled to a full refund with no charges. If the order has been created (sometimes up to 48 hours before receipt) then as these are bespoke made items they are non-refundable.

Choose Your Own & Design Your Own

If you pick 'Choose Your Own' when ordering a balloon, we will endeavour to meet your requirements as best we can. However, your requirements are open to interpretation by the staff of Party On Balloons, and we cannot be held liable if the product you receive doesn't meet your expectations. We reserve the right to produce a balloon that we believe meets your requirements, while looks as good as possible, using our years of expertise. All balloon images are presented as 20" (9 balloon filled) images when choosing a 'multi balloon' option. On occasion due to shortfalls in some manufacturing colours may need to be substituted, duplicated or tones of colour altered to best represent the title of the product.

Reporting An Issue With Your Order

All orders are thoroughly checked before leaving our premises. On receipt of your order we request that you check the items as soon as possible, we will require notice and photographic evidence of any faulty inflated balloons within 24 hours of signed for receipt, (please note if you are contacting us outside of the 24 hour period to aid any claim we will require time stamped photos from within the 24 hour period) otherwise our bespoke inflated balloons are non-refundable. If an issue arises with a balloon after delivery, but at the point of delivery it arrives in good condition then as standard we are not liable for refunds as balloons are delicate products and are subject to the environments to which they are kept. We can only guarantee the standard of balloons to the point of delivery, we ask that all balloons are checked immediately upon arrival.

Each product may be comprised of a number of smaller components to complete a package or grouping of balloons. If this is reflective of your order then each component is priced indivdually in line with that product code. Based on this costing method if there is a problem with an individual balloon which is part of a larger grouping or package which is found to be faulty or damaged then the process is to refund the individual component. For a breakdown of our individual costing methods please email is at info@partyonballoons.co.uk

If you are unhappy with your order for any reason, please contact us on 01823 426008 or info@partyonballoons.co.uk. Please have your order number to hand when you contact us as it will allow us to find your order quickly.
