Return & Refund Policy – BubbleXL
We want you to be satisfied with your purchase. This Return & Refund Policy explains how returns are handled at BubbleXL.
1. Standard return period (14 days)

To be eligible for a return, your item must be:
-
in the same condition that you received it
-
unworn / unused
-
in the original, sealed packaging (balloon bags unopened)

Unless otherwise agreed or required by law, return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.
2. Condition of returned balloons
Because of the nature of our products:
-
Returned balloons must be completely unused
-
Balloon bags must be sealed in their original packaging
-
Balloons that have been inflated with air or helium cannot be returned
If your return is received and inspected, and we confirm that:
-
the balloons are unused, and
-
the packaging is still sealed,
we will refund the value of the balloons (product price).
Shipping costs are not refunded, except where required by applicable law.
If the returned items are not in resalable condition (opened, used, damaged, contaminated), we may decline the refund.
3. Damages and issues
Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if:
-
the items are defective or damaged, or
-
you received the wrong product
so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right. In such cases we will work with you on a replacement, refund, or other appropriate solution.
4. Exceptions / non-returnable items
Certain items cannot be returned, including:
-
Used balloons (e.g. balloons that have been filled with air or helium)
-
Custom products (e.g. printed balloons or special orders made specifically for you)
-
Sale/clearance items
-
Gift cards
If you are unsure whether your item is returnable, please contact us before sending anything back.
5. Exchanges
If you would like a different product, the fastest way is:
-
Return the item you have (following the steps above)
-
Once your return is accepted and processed, place a new order for the desired item(s)
6. European Union – 14-day cooling-off period
If your order is being shipped to a country within the European Union, you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 days, for any reason and without justification, in line with the EU cooling-off rules.
The conditions are:
-
The item must be in the same condition that you received it

These charges are the sole responsibility of the customer
If a shipment is:
