This is the first time I have used Bubblegum balloons and it won't be my last! execellent service they came the next day and were beautiful infact the pictures don't do them justice.
I'm so pleased that I will be using them again at the end of the month and would highly reccommend.
They don't deliver on time.
I sent it as a birthday surprise. 2 days after the birthday, the balloons were nowhere to be found. I wanted a refund, but the customer service didn't get back to me either.

Did not deliver in time
Undelivered in time due to delivery company. We were waiting at home, tracking the order; then suddenly got a message saying "We missed you". We were waiting outside next to the door. This was for a birthday today. No balloons. They said they will now deliver tomorrow, not in time. They need a more reliable delivery partner. I see countless reviews of people missing their delivery.
EDIT: They arrived a day later - was DPD's fault, not the balloon company. Great balloons. The brand was kind and nice about the issue as opposed to ignoring, so review has been bumped up.

Warning ! ⚠️
WARNING – My Child’s Birthday Was Ruined by Bubble Gum Balloons ⚠️
I ordered birthday balloons for my child’s birthday with a confirmed delivery window of 15:25–16:25 on 27.02.
They were never delivered.
No phone call.
No message.
No warning.
Nothing.
I spent the whole evening trying to contact customer service - with no success.
The following morning I was trying to explain to my child why the decorations never arrived.
The balloons were a key part of the celebration. This was my child’s birthday!
A once-a-year moment that cannot be repeated or “refunded”. No beautiful photos , no laughs and happy smiles!
Our whole family was left stressed, upset and trying to fix a situation that should never have happened.
Only later on the next day they informed me the balloons were “damaged during transportation” and the order had simply been cancelled - without informing me at all!
As an “apology”, they offered a 15% discount on a future order.
Honestly, it felt like mockery.
When a company takes money for time-critical children’s events, they take responsibility for memories- not just products.
Parents , please think carefully before trusting companies with moments that matter to your children.

I was worried after reading reviews…
I was worried after reading reviews about missing numbers, but my experience was perfect! Communication was clear throughout, and the balloons arrived exactly on time. Everything was precisely as ordered—I’m so relieved and happy it went smoothly! Truly great service that I would highly recommend for any celebration.

Really disappointed
Really disappointed - ordered balloon stack for my sons first Christmas and it arrived with the personalisation completely come away from the balloon- tried contacting within office hours on 23rd December only to get automated reply saying they’re out of office until 29th! Disgusting service and ruined my babies first Christmas! Don’t buy from this company

These balloons are absolutely…
These balloons are absolutely brilliant.
I have ordered them on four occasions and they have always looked superb, immaculately presented and stunningly arranged.
Wonderful products and exceptionally helpful people.
Thank you very nuc
I absolutely love Bubblegum Balloona
I absolutely love Bubblegum Balloons and use them every time I'm looking for Balloons. We have different ones out as decoration for different seasons/events. They last weeks in my experience. I had an issue with a partly deflated Balloon arriving recently, I sent an email and got a reply within 15 minutes offering to send me out a new balloon for delivery next day! Fantastic customer service in my opinion. I will be continuing to use Bubblegum Balloons 🎈
Honestly incredible
Honestly incredible. High quality, great prices and perfect service. I rarely feel compelled to write reviews but this company is nailing it. Highly recommend for a stress free way to add magic to your special occasions. Thank you!
UTTERLY USELESS!!! Only 1 out of 2 balloons recevied.
I ordered the number 15 in balloons to be used for my 15th anniversary celebrations and only the number 5 balloon arrived, and, obviously, this is useless on its own, and unfortunately for me that I didn't check the reviews BEFORE my order, as it seems that this is a recurring theme with this company. People that order 2 balloons regularly complain of only receiving one of the balloons.
---- UPDATE ----
Following my complaint stating my legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, I have been fully refunded by the company. At least that...
Thank you Bubblegum for your understanding and refund.

“Perfect Balloons and Excellent Online Service!”
I ordered balloons online from Bubblegum Balloons for my mum’s birthday, and they were absolutely gorgeous! The ordering process was really easy, and the balloons arrived perfectly packaged and exactly as shown on the website. The colours were stunning and they lasted beautifully, making the whole celebration feel extra special. Fantastic quality and service — I’ll definitely be ordering again! 🎈

I paid almost 100.00 for an 18th…
I paid almost 100.00 for an 18th birthday balloon stack. Only the number 8 arrived the day before my daughters birthday. When I finally got through to the company they promised they could get the number 1 to me by 10am next day which would be too late as my daughter would bo doubt be running down stairs long before that. A number 8 no matter how lovely the balloon would have been very disappointing! Instead one of my own team drove to the shop to collect the number 1. Thank goodness she did....as in the box was another 8! I managed to negotiate a 50 percent discount but quite frankly given the stress, the loss of an employee having to collect for me, Im more out of pocket than the full price and I have more grey hairs too. Don't get lured in by pretty balloons at INFLATED prices. Card Factory may not be as pretty but they would have been less stressful and I would have been better off! Remember though, it's not Bubblegum Balloons fault as they kept telling me....DPD out of their control apparently. I assum DPD forced the contract on them.....

I always order through Bubblegum…
I always order through Bubblegum balloons now for my children's birthdays. Always reliable, beautiful balloon displays, never disappointed.
Very disappointed
Very disappointed, I ordered a personalised balloon bunch for my triplets 18th birthday & when the box arrived there was just one single balloon. I made contact with customer service & was told that my order had been split on two deliveries? Why you would split a balloon bunch into two deliveries makes no sense. I was told I would receive the second delivery the same day. I paid a premium delivery charge to receive my delivery before midday. I never did receive the promised second delivery.
10/10
I have ordered balloons from Bubblegum Balloons several times, they’re always delivered promptly and on time, beautiful quality and last ages! Huge variety to choose from too, my go to for birthday surprises!!
Proceed with caution
Proceed with caution. I ordered balloons for my children’s birthdays. On the first occasion we were disappointed as the personalisations we had asked for did not materialise despite many emails. The helium stars only stayed inflated for two days even though we had followed instructions. Giving the company a second chance we ordered for another child, The boxes arrived battered with one balloon completely deflated and another large one very limp. We ordered the day before the birthday and as soon as we took delivery we reported the problem by the phone. No help offered over the phone and customer services has an out of office from 3pm. Not until midday the following day did I get a response offering a replacement for just one of the balloons or half the cost as a refund. Too late for a replacement and only received a fraction of the balloon bunch’s total cost. I wouldn’t recommend as I had two birthdays ruined.
