Q: I Found the Perfect Arrangement, but it is for another occasion. Can you help?

A: Yes! We will substitute balloons of lesser or equal value for a different theme or occasion at no charge. Additional charges
may apply when adding balloons or substituting balloons of greater value.

Q: How Long will the balloons last?

A: Our balloon arrangements last a good long time. While plain latex balloons will only float for a matter of hours,
Airheads Balloon Art treats the latex balloons in our premium arrangements with a flight extender. With the flight extender,
you'll get float times of anywhere from 3 days to 3 months, depending on indoor conditions and balloon size. Our foil balloons
will float for a week or more, again depending on indoor conditions.

Q: What Happens if the Recipient is not Home?

A: Airheads Balloon Art makes every attempt to deliver your arrangement to the recipient. If no one answers upon
knocking/ringing bell, we first call the recipient in case they are indisposed. If no answer via phone we will attempt
to leave their balloon arrangement with up to 3 different neighbors. If nobody is able/willing to accept the balloons,
they will be bagged & left attached to a rear door if possible.  If, for some reason, this is not possible, the arrangement will be returned to our shop, and the recipient will receive a phone message and a door tag alerting them that they have a special Balloon Arrangement awaiting them. You will be notified by phone that delivery was not possible.

Q: Will Airheads deliver the balloons a second time?

A: Airheads will gladly attempt a second delivery. The cost of $20 plus standard delivery fee will be billed to sender.
Second deliveries are only made upon request of sender.

Q: The Recipient is in a secure building. Can you deliver to them?

A: Yes! Many businesses and/or college dormitories require that we leave arrangements for absent recipients with an
attendant at the main desk or reception area. Such instances will be handled on a case-by-case basis, according to the
instructions of the sender and the rules established by building management.

To place an order for delivery, call our office and let an Airhead assist you. We will need to know:

If you are sending to a business, then please check on their delivery protocol and let the receptionist know to expect the
delivery, in case the recipient is out of the office. If we will be delivering to a residence, please be sure to find out if a
neighbor will accept it in case the recipient should be out when we arrive.

We include a balloon care card with each delivery that can be personalized with your message! We'll be glad to help
you send the right message with your balloon delivery.
