Here's a few reasons why ordering ahead of your pickup date is beneficial to you: We guarantee your product. If in the event a balloon pops, has a manufacturing damage, or we just do not like the way the product presents, we will change it out at no additional cost to you up until you leave the store's front doors. There is minimal or no wait time when pickup up your order. Because of how we run pickup times, often we get a lot of customers in at the same times. Tha means that we can anticipate this and prebag your balloons, and hand them to you within five minutes of entering the store, and then you are on the way again. Please note, however, there may be a small wait when we have a multitude of same day customers with a low staff count, so patience is appreciated as we will get to you as soon as we can. We control the damages. If a balloon pops while blowing up your order, or prior to your pickup time, we replace the balloons (or substitute it) at no additional cost to you. Easy convenience of pickup and pre-bagged for you. We bag every order so that your balloons are protected against any abrasive surface when transporting to your event location. We inflate your balloons based on when you need them. For example: if you need you balloons for a party on Sunday, set your pickup time for Saturday afternoon. If you need them for a week day, but it's for the following evening, pick it up that morning. If you need it for the following morning, pickup the following evening.
