Helium Tanks and Inflators
Airy Greetings delivers
Helium tanks, balloons and accessories to the Greater Seattle, WA and Eastside area only.
Most deliveries will be made same day or within a couple days of notice.
We need a credit card for a security deposit but you can pay any way you want.
We don't charge the card unless you want us to or you lose the tank.
Important News: Helium
Prices are going up again (February 2008) and we have been told they will probably go up in the
future due to government allocations! All distributors (our suppliers) are raising prices
on not just helium but pretty much all gases. This is not just our supplier but
all suppliers. We have been hearing stories about people not being able to get
helium from other sources but so far our supplier has been OK. We are really
sorry about having to raise prices and hope to be able to keep supplying helium
in the future. For further information on helium shortages type in helium

For small
quantity/short term (a week) we have an 80 ($55, blows up 140-160 11"
Balloons) and a 50 ($45, blows up 80-100 11" balloons). These are a far better
deal than those little tanks at party stores, which can not be refilled or
recycled easily.
The small tanks are pick-up only.
Call first!
The 291 is also for short term only
but for blowing up large quantities or large balloons. It takes 2 to
blow up a 10 foot balloon!
Don't forget balloons and ribbon! |

Having a party or special event?
For short
term we can leave the
larger tanks on a hand truck for stability and portability. If you buy Quickie
Clips we will also loan our
quickie clipper for free (short term only). We recommend this if your crew
is not experienced with tying balloons as it makes it a lot faster.
Balloon Disks are also available and are another way to seal a balloon
without tying a knot.
We also have dual and triple inflators so more
than one person at a time can blow up a balloon. |
An inflator (see below) is included free for the first month but must be rented or bought
after that. Our inflators have gauges to tell when you get low so you may
order a refill before you run out.
We have tilt valve or push valve inflators (see below) for latex balloons
and special inflators that blow up latex and foils.
Please
let us know if you plan on inflating foils.
We also sell bags of Qualatex Balloons
in 11", 16" and 36"sizes, Tuftex or BSA 17" Balloons and other accessories you may need. Other sizes
and imprinted balloons are available but may need to be special ordered.
Tank Sales-
We sell used tanks. Used tanks are exchanged like rentals without the monthly
rental fee. They must be paid for at time of delivery. The inflator is not
included.

Inflators-We have New Conwin and West Wind Inflators with
gauges, ribbon cutter and disc tier. Push valves are faster and better for 11" and
larger latex. Tilt valves may also be used on foils. Dual inflators have a push
valve and an autostop foil valve. All are hand tighten so you don't need a wrench to
change tanks.

Delivery Charge- Helium Tanks will be delivered for $10 to $25, depending on location. We
deliver from Federal Way to Everett. Someone must be present to sign for delivery. Tanks
will not be left otherwise. Airy Greetings will work with your schedule for delivery
and pick up.
Call 425-828-0611 or email Terri at terri.leek@verizon.net if you have
any questions.
Customer is responsible for equipment and will be charged
for missing, damaged or stolen items. Tanks should be stored in an safe area where
unauthorized use won't happen. They
should be turned off at the valve when not in use. Inflators have to be removed
during transport and caps put on tanks.
Although helium is not flammable, tanks
should be stored so they can't fall over. A rope, chain or bungee cord securing it to
something should be used. There is a lot of pressure inside and a tank could be a missile
if the valve were to break off!
