Balloon Information

When filled with helium, an 11-inch latex balloon will generally float for:

  • Without Hi-Float: 12–18 hours
  • With Hi-Float: up to 3 days

If your balloon has a metallic or pearl finish, its average float time reduces slightly to around 16–18 hours without Hi-Float.

💡 We strongly recommend Hi-Float for any event lasting more than a day or for overnight display.

Hi-Float is a liquid protective coating inserted into the balloon before inflation. It spreads around the inside to create a barrier that slows helium from escaping through the latex.

  • ✅ Water-soluble and non-toxic
  • ✅ Can extend float time from hours to days
  • ✅ Safe for indoor and outdoor use

Air-filled latex balloons do not float, but they have a much longer lifespan than helium-filled ones. In the right conditions, air-filled balloons can last several days to several weeks.

They're a great option for garlands, arches, columns, and table centrepieces where floating isn't required.

No — helium is not flammable and is very safe to use around candles and open flames.

However, please note that inhaling helium repeatedly is dangerous. Helium is an asphyxiant — it can displace oxygen in the lungs. A single small puff for a funny voice effect is generally not harmful, but repeated inhalation can cause suffocation.

Our range includes two primary finishes:

  • Pearl: Solid, translucent colours with a sheen similar to a pearl. Elegant and sophisticated.
  • Standard: Opaque finish available in a wide range of bright, vivid colours.

We also stock chrome/metallic, confetti, and personalised printed latex balloons.

There are a few fun and responsible options:

  • 🎉 Let the kids pop them — always a hit!
  • 🏠 Take them home as a keepsake
  • â™ģī¸ Deflate and dispose of responsibly
đŸŒŋ Balloon Corner is a proud member of the Pro Environment Balloon Alliance (PEBA). Please dispose of latex balloons responsibly and never release them outdoors.

Delivery

Yes! We provide both delivery across Melbourne and pickup from our Burwood East location. Our team takes great pride in ensuring your balloons arrive safely and on time.

Please see our Delivery Price Chart for charges to your suburb.

📅 Payment is required at least two weeks prior to your event to lock in your delivery slot.

We plan to arrive on time or up to 30 minutes early. Please ensure someone is home during your delivery window — we can only wait up to 5 minutes at each location to meet our delivery schedule.

If no one is home and we can't reach you, your balloons will be returned to our workshop for same-day collection before 5PM. Redelivery is not available.

âš ī¸ We will only leave balloons unattended if you explicitly authorise it. Balloon Corner is not responsible for balloons left outside that are damaged, blown away, or stolen.

Pickup is available from our Burwood East warehouse Monday to Saturday, 9AM to 11AM.

  • If you miss your pickup window, you may collect the next day between 9–11AM
  • For alternate times, please email enquiry@ballooncorner.com.au
  • No refund will be given if no collection occurs
🚗 Please ensure you have enough space in your car before arriving — once balloons are inflated they cannot be resized to fit a smaller space. No replacement or refund is provided for balloons damaged during transport.

Once we have delivered balloons to your venue, responsibility for them passes to you. Balloons can be fragile and many factors outside our control can affect them, including:

  • Room temperature and heat exposure
  • Sunlight and outdoor weather conditions
  • Contact with sharp objects
  • Accidental damage by venue staff or other guests
âš ī¸ No refunds or replacements will be provided for balloons affected by any of the above conditions after delivery.
â†Šī¸

Cancellations & Refunds

We start work on customised balloons 48 hours before your event, so cancellations must be made before this window. Dates can be moved subject to availability if enough notice is given.

When you cancel Outcome
More than 48 hrs before delivery 100% Refund or 100% Credit Note
Within 48 hrs of delivery Up to 70% cancellation fee — delivery fee fully refunded
Day of delivery No refund available

We aim to process refunds within 7 days of receiving a valid return or confirming the refund is applicable. Refunds are issued through the same method used for the original purchase. You'll receive a notification once the refund has been processed.

A refund will only be provided in the following circumstances:

  • We fail to deliver your order
  • We put the wrong text on your personalised balloons
  • We delivered a significantly different product to what you ordered (slight colour variation is acceptable)
  • A balloon is deemed faulty after thorough inspection — refund applies to the cost of the faulty balloon only, not including delivery

Our quality control team carefully inspects all products before they leave our warehouse. In the rare event your item has a defect or was damaged during delivery, please contact us within 2 hours of receiving the goods.

Please include a photo of the issue when contacting us so we can assess and resolve it as quickly as possible.
