    www.nordiclooners.com is my new favorite It's run by a Danish couple who provides very good customer service.

          Unfortunately not. The closest one I know to Canada is probably KBI, but most of the sellers I listed ship internationally. Take a look and see who will cost the least for you.

            I've ordered from Loonerworld before, they were great. Great customer service and reasonable prices. I was going to order from Cattex, but my order came to about $40 Cdn, and shipping was $60 Cdn.... Maybe a smaller order.... I really want to try their doll.

                  Anyone used this site before? They seem to have a lot of special balloons.

                    Re: Reliable Balloon Sources

                    The original list appears to cover Germany, Italy, Denmark, U.S. Is there any online shops in UK? Shipping cost makes the balloons quite a price, especially if you don't want to order a large quantity.
                    There are supermarkets & party shops but that means face to face with a cashier.
                    Any ideas for us in the UK?

                        This thread really should be stickied.

                            Got some stuff from the store Bargain Balloons, and they should be added to the list. There's a Canadian and American site, and their Canadian warehouse is in Mississauga. (Bargainballoons.ca)
