What are your shipping costs?

Unlike most online retailers, our shipping rates are based on weight of the item(s) purchased and the distance the order is being shipped. This way, if you order a few balloons you're not paying the same shipping cost as someone that has purchased a pinata. We feel that this allows us to provide our customers with the best service and prices. You can view your shipping costs by adding the desired item(s) to the shopping cart, click on the Shopping Cart link found towards the upper right side of our website, then enter your "ship to" zip code and select the desired shipping method for your shipping quote. Your order total will be displayed on the Invoice you see BEFORE confirming your order.  If you still have questions regarding your shipping costs, transit times, etc. please do not hesitate to Contact Us. 

During checkout quoted transit times are provided. You must allow up to 2 business days to process your order. The number of days are approximate transit times for shipments within the contiguous (lower 48) United States - additional transit time may be required due to situations beyond our control, including but not limited to: inclement weather and natural or man-made disasters. Orders are shipped from zip code 44134.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS – PLEASE NOTE: You may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for further information. The declared value for customs purposes is the price paid for your order, less any shipping charges. Please note that understating the value for customs in order to avoid import duties and taxes is a violation of international law, and is a practice we choose not to engage in.
