    Owner, Designer

    As the owner and founder of NSSB I love to make others laugh, and truly appreciate the little things in life that make me do a double take. I hope our balloons can bring a bit more unexpected happiness and genuine joy to your life!

Production partners

  • Print Shop

    Tapping, WA

    All our designs are created in-house by us here at NSSB, we simply have Evoke Uniforms help us print the stickers as we do not have the equipment necessary to do so ourselves!

  • Balloon Printing Shop

    Coventry, England

    The unique designs for our balloons are created entirely in-house, then outsourced to our production partner to screen print the design onto the balloons, as we do not have the equipment to do so ourselves. Everything else surrounding our business is done by us, a fact we're proud of!

Frequently asked questions

Packaging of Items

All items will ship FLAT, and UNINFLATED!

The balloons can either be inflated by the customer themselves (if you have access to a helium tank - i.e. purchased one at a party store) or, in many cases, can be taken to your local party store and inflated there for a small charge.

When will my item ship?

Currently all in-stock items ship out 2-3 business days after purchase.

If you need your order to ship sooner, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate for it.

ADDITIONALLY, due to COVID processing delays, occasionally items I need to fulfill the order are on backorder so some unexpected delays could occur. I apologize in advance, and I thank you for your understanding! :)

Shipping

I do my best to estimate shipping times, but with the massive delays COVID has brought those estimates are only that, estimates. The current shipping time estimations are as follows:

Australia - 2+ business days
USA and Canada - 20+ business days (untracked)
UK - 25+ business days (untracked)
EU - 25+ business days (untracked)
Rest of World - 9-25+ business days (untracked)

Actual delivery time will depend on the shipping method you choose. We at NSSB are doing the best we can to make sure your items arrive at their destination as soon as possible, and I ask for your understanding and patience in this process!

Returns and Exchanges

Due to the nature of the products, I cannot accept returns or exchanges for items. But please contact me if you have any problems with your order and I'm happy to see what can be done!

Customs and Import Taxes

Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. NSSB, our team members, and partners are not responsible for delays due to customs.

Care instructions

As with any balloon, keep your NSSB balloons away from fire, excessive heat, or sharp objects.

Keep away from children and pets, and always dispose of the balloons properly by deflating, tying the deflated balloon in a knot, then disposing of the item in the trash.

Our packaging is recyclable or compostable and we encourage the proper and responsible re-use of as many items as possible. For example, our mailing satchels can be used up to twice then home-composted (see Hero Packaging for more details).

NEVER let balloons go into the air as they can harm animals if ingested.

NSSB is not responsible for any negligent behaviors by third parties that may result in damage or harm to people, animals, or the environment.

Care instructions

Continued:

It is also advised to be mindful of objects rubbing up against the balloon as sometimes it can do damage to the design.

We do our best to package products as well as possible, but we cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting due to excessive handling during the shipping process or once it reaches the customer. :)

How To Choose a Balloon

The messages conveyed by a Not So Special balloon are created to make the receiver and viewers do double takes, to honor the people in our lives who appreciate some irreverent, wry wit and/or the occasional (tastefully placed, of course) curse word, and to bring a bit more unexpected joy back into our lives!

We think our balloons are pretty cool, but ultimately any decisions regarding which balloon to choose for what event/audience is the customer's responsibility. Be smart and make good decisions, as we are not responsible for other people's reactions to our balloons/designs. That's on you. :)

Our Stance on Bullying

Giving anyone a hearty belly laugh is our mission, but make sure our balloons are always sent with the jovial spirit with which they were made in mind.

Bullying or any other form of harm/ill-intent is *NOT* supported by NSSB, our members, or partners.

Kindness is paramount, and we seek to spread joy and kindness to anyone and everyone who might enjoy our balloons. :)
