Are you preparing birthday or children's party and inflated
balloons are on your to-do list? Then read on because it can be more difficult to
get than it seems. And more expensive.
If you type helium shortage in Google search you will learn that
helium is a commodity that is becoming more scarce. The balloons and party
supplies companies have been hit most as helium is being prioritised for heavy
industry and medical science. You will
also learn about recycled or impure helium which is not suitable for neither
medical nor scientific purposes so instead of wasting it, we could simple put
it into the balloons.
We have been reading lots of articles about helium shortage and
since we have received a letter from our supplier that we won't be able to
order more helium canisters we started to worry. At the moment we still have
our remaining stock but as you may have noticed we were forced to put the price
higher to €34.95 per small canister.
However if you buy your balloons and inflation at our website www.thebigparty.ie,
it will cost €2.50 per standard balloon and we do not intend to increase this
price any time soon.
Unfortunately the helium for balloons and party suppliers has been
cut and we hope that sooner or later there will be better news.
