DELIVERIES TO BUSINESS/ OFFICES

In many companies and facilities with restricted access, we are usually required to leave the items with a receptionist. We will attempt to leave a message with the recipient advising that a delivery has been made and is ready for pick-up. Once the items have been delivered to the receptionist, we consider the delivery accomplished. If we are not able to deliver the item you can pick it up later at arrange timing. Delivery fee is non-refundable.

RESIDENTIAL DELIVERIES

We will make phone contact with the recipient or someone at the residence prior to delivery in order coordinate a delivery time, ensuring that someone will be home to accept the order. This call may be made as early as 24 hours prior to the scheduled delivery time. If no one answers, we will leave a call back number. We will not proceed until contact is made, which can result in the delivery being made later than scheduled. We will make every effort to be discrete in our effort to coordinate a delivery time; however, customers are forewarned that this process does pose a risk of exposing an intended surprise. If we are not able to deliver the bouquet you can pick it up later at our designated area same day before 6pm. Delivery fee is non-refundable.

*All other areas are out of the delivery zone and once the item is handed over, we are not responsible.

Yes, you can. Else we do meet up at designated locations, please contact us. As we have multiple meet up per day, we are sorry that we cannot meet you at your location. If you really insist on it will charge as delivery, at $8 per trip. Once the item is handed over, we are not responsible.

Also, some designs require set-up on-site. If we deliver, we as professionals will be able to fix the decoration. Therefore, we prefer to deliver and set-up all decoration.(for example, Balloon Arch)

16.What does it cost to have balloons at my event?

Each event is unique. It is very difficult to have a general price. We treat each occasion with special care, depending on the venue, time frame to setup, distance, type of decoration, and balloons selected. Contact us for a free consultation.

23.How long will my helium balloons last?

As do not have helium, we only air filled the balloons.

For your knowledge, when indoors 12” latex balloons generally last between 8‐10 hours filled with helium. The size of the balloon is important to determine how long the balloon will last. The bigger the balloon the longer will last. The 12” is the standard balloon size but remember we have balloons in latex and foil with varies size too. Foil balloons last approx. 5‐7 days.

Air‐filled balloons generally last for a couple of weeks, but will not float.

24.Can you decorate an event outdoors?

Yes! We do love to make Outdoor Décor. It adds wonderful color and impact to any event. However read our outdoor décor weather policy.

25.What is your outdoor décor weather policy?

No one can control the weather - even professional meteorologists cannot accurately predict it. Therefore, in the event of inclement weather the following policy applies:

Once Decor has been completed or delivered, We are not responsible for inclement wind or weather causing damage to Decor, or cancellation of an event. Careli rental services also cannot be responsible for damage caused by crowds or event staff moving or attempting to move or handle decor.

26.Do you guarantee outdoor work?

No, although we really enjoy doing outdoor jobs for our clients, we cannot guarantee outdoor work. We make every attempt to have your décor looking its best at the time it is assembled. We use only professional supplies and the best latex balloons, heavy duty cord and wire for all outdoor jobs. Singapore weather affects outdoor balloons, especially the wind, heat, and humidity.

27.Can you release foil balloons at my event?

The product is a synthetic, metalized plastic/nylon material which is recyclable, but not biodegradable. Consequently, foil balloons are never used in a release.

28.How do balloons affect the environment?

Latex balloons are produced from rubber trees. Latex is harvested without harming the tree by using an environmentally safe, age old process similar to that used for collecting from maple trees for syrup. Because of rubber’s versatility and demand, these tropical rain forest trees are very valuable, highly coveted-and well-preserved natural resources. These precious trees play an equally valuable ecological role in the fragile ecological balance by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere which helps prevent global warming.
Latex balloons pose no threat to humans, wildlife or the environment when handled responsibly. That said, latex balloons should not be released outdoors. Although latex balloons are biodegradable, the string is not. Balloons used for releases must not have any string attached to them. It is best to have a professional conduct the release.
Mylar balloons should not be released outdoors. Mylar balloons are not biodegradable. Mylar balloon conduct electricity. If released, Mylar balloons could drift into power lines that can cause short circuits and eventually lead to a power outage.

29.Do you have Balloon care tips?

These are simple tips to keep your balloon as long as possible:

• Balloons expand in hot weather, so don’t leave them in a hot car or boot, they will explode.

• In cold weather, balloons contract and appear under inflated. Once they’re brought in from the cold, they’ll fill out.

• If balloons get rained on and start to droop, don’t worry. Shake them off; they’ll float again when dry.

• We use latex balloons made from 100% biodegradable, natural rubber. We always treat our latex balloons so they’ll float up to 10 times longer.

• Foil balloons will float for 5-14 days, depending on the size. Although foil balloons are not biodegradable, they are reusable.

• Foil balloons can conduct electricity if they come into contact with power lines. Make sure your foil balloons are always attached to a weight, and never release them.

• To make balloons float, they’re filled with helium, a non-toxic, non-flammable gas that’s safe for the environment. Don’t inhale the helium because it takes the place of the oxygen in your lungs, so you can’t get the oxygen you need.

• Always supervise young children, and don’t allow them to play with deflated balloons.

• Properly dispose of balloons. Cut balloons with scissors directly above the knot or sealing point and immediately place in trash containers.
