Frequently asked questions about helium tank hire and balloons
If you don't find the answer to your question here, please contact us.

How long do balloons float for?
Helium balloons (latex) will float between 10-15 hours depending on climate. Foil balloons will float for over 1 week. Always inflate your balloons close to your event time so that they look their best and float for the longest time.

How long will it take me to inflate my balloons?
40 balloons will take less than 1/2 an hour and allow an hour for 100 balloons.

What's the best way to inflate balloons?
Balloons should be neither over inflated or under inflated. Over inflated balloons will pop more easily, and under inflated balloons may not even float, or will float for less time. A balloon sizer is the best way to get a uniform size balloon that is inflated to the correct size.

Do you deliver?
Yes. We deliver anywhere in Auckland CBD to hotels, restaurants, bars, clubs and private homes. However, all our prices are based on pick up from either our Northcote branch or CDB location. Please ask for delivery charges.

How do we pay?
We accept all major credit cards and direct bank details will be on your invoice.

Why don't you sell cheaper balloons like party shops?
Cheap party balloons say 'helium quality' but basically they are smaller in size, poorer in quality and will only float for around 4 hours. We consider these types of balloons a waste of quality helium and your money. Anyone who has ever bought them will tell you they 'pop' more than they fill. As the old saying goes 'you get what you pay for'.

Can I take my helium tank to Hamilton, Paihia, Waiheke Island?
Yes. However, your tank is for a 4 day hire and must be returned in that time frame or it will incur an extra fee.

Is there a bond to pay?
Yes. It's an incentive we charge so that helium tanks and regulators are returned to us. Helium tanks and regulators cost hundreds of dollars to replace. If you prefer not to pay a bond we have a balloon inflation service. We will bag and have your balloons inflated and ready for collection on the day you require them.
