Hi all I have just purchased Bonnie's pdf's  (Bling, & wearable's 1,2) and most of her wearable's need 350/360 and as I have just gone over to largely using sempertex balloons, but hear is the snag Graham only stocks a few of the colours in 360's so I was wondering if anyone gets the 360's shipped to them from outside the UK and if they do could recommend the best place to get them from.

Or falling that do you just mix and match makes?

Thanks for you help Roger

By the way last night I went and did balloons at a young girls birthday sleep over and made a lot of the rings and bracelets from the Bling  pdf's and they went down a storm. (Thanks Bonnie for the brilliant instructions)

At the end just before I left I offered to make them one of the modules I make using glow sticks flowers smile head people or aliens guess what all the sweet little girls went for yes the aliens    a room full of aliens with glowing heads the parents and the girls loved them.

I too want separate colours in the 646s so i can make giant structures so if anyone knows anything???

Roger,
Thanks again for purchasing my CDs and I'm very pleased hear that you have already used some of the designs.  

As for mixing and matching brands... Before Betallic (Sempertex to those of you across the big pond) came out with their 360s, I used the Qualatex 350s with my Betallic 260s and 160s.  Now I could tell at a glance the differences in the colors, but the average person never noticed.

As for the glowing aliens for all the girls... I've had the same thing happen several times.  I always find it highly amusing.  :lol:  Just as amusing as working a princess party for a group of 8 yr old girls and ending the party by arming them all with bows and arrows.  :lol:

Happy twisting,
Bonnie, The Balloon Lady

I carry all of the colours & sizes that Sempertex sell at the moment in the uk, I appreciate that Sempertex could do with selling more colours in the UK. Well to be honest the full range & I do keep pestering them about it. If you all could keep asking your wholesaler to get them as well & then hopefully/eventually we will all be heard.

Hi Graham I do understand that you are under the constraints of what Oaktree import. So when you say I should keep pestering my wholesaler is that you, you want me to pester ;0 . At the moment all my twisting balloons are coming from you and I am very satisfied with the service you provide and most defiantly will keep using you. I would just like to get my hands on the 360's.

Hello Roger,
I have lots of Betallic balloons shipped over from T.Myers Magic & the price does not make much difference as the pound is almost twice the dollar, though you have to pay for the shipment & import duty also.  
     I get what I can from Sempertex in the UK & then various 360s, 660s, hearts etc are imported from the USA.

I have lots in stock & I need Sempertex far more than any other brand as so many people insist on having their sculptures made out of them.   People often pull balloons out of my bag or apron & say 'I want this colour' & they are usually Sempertex.
  Fuchsia, Periwinkle,Turquise Blue, Lilac, Fashion Blue are all very popular.  So is Qualatex Tropical Teal & Mocha Brown.
Here are some of the 360s that I have + other balloon stock.

Hi Daniel
Thanks for the reply just the sort of info I am after would you give me an idea as to how much you pay for postage import duty and how long they take to get to you.

Thanks very much
Roger.

By the way you do know Graham stocks red pink & white harts?

Thanks from me too Daniel - for a different reason - I can show these pictures to Her Ladyship as proof that I haven't really got that many balloons at all...    

Smiggle,

Shall I post a picture of all the stock I have making out it's all just for me
More than happy too if it will help you with her indoors

Hello Roger,
The shipping charge for a UPS delivery is usually about £50:00 & then the import VAT is around 17% of the value. The import duty is another small charge that varies as it does not have a fixed rate.  
1.00 British pound is currently worth 1.98707 US dollar.

I did know that Graham sells red, pink & white hearts thanks, though I buy a lot of Betallic  Deluxe singles especially Fuchsia & Lilac as they are hugely popular + Peach Blush, Black etc.
The Betallic Fashion Assortment includes Fuchsia & Lilac, Please see attachment.

Thanks Daniel your a star. Just what I wanted to know and I love the other colours. I can see me needing to organise a container at this rate

Are you going to the FACE jam in Essex in August? If you are, can you bring some along with you? I've found the sempertex ones a lot cheaper that the Q ones and the necks seem to be longer as well. In fact, bring a selection of stock with you and we'll clean you out!
