Bargain Balloons does its absolute best to get all orders to our customers on time, however, there are times when the delivery of an order may be delayed. This can happen because of bad weather, mechanical failures with trucks or airplanes breaking down, or because of isolated local events in cities, the package is travelling through– which is out of our control. Delays are more likely in remote areas.
We cannot 100% guarantee any order will arrive by the date the courier company provides us, but they do deliver an average of 97% of their parcels on time.
