We ship blimps to California constantly. We do not service them there, and it is worth being clear about that difference before you call.
What we do and do not do in California
We manufacture and ship. A 13-foot blimp is $1,526 with full colour artwork on both sides included, ships for $135, and arrives in two to five business days by UPS Ground from North Carolina.
What we do not do is send a crew. Our service programme, where we install, fill, monitor and remove the balloon, covers greater Phoenix and Tucson only, because our trucks and people have to physically reach the site.
Any company promising you nationwide same-week service is describing a subcontractor, not their own crew.
California is our biggest proof point
A California balloon company flies more than 100 of our blimps every weekend for homebuilders. That is roughly a hundred builder communities running our equipment weekly, in your state, in your climate.
We mention it because it answers the durability question better than any specification sheet. Nobody runs a hundred units weekly on equipment that fails.
Sun is the real California variable
Ultraviolet light is what ages an advertising balloon, and California supplies plenty of it.
Cheap balloons are PVC, which goes brittle in sun and keeps every crease from folding. Ours are polyurethane, which stays flexible and tolerates UV far better. It costs more to manufacture and it is the reason customers write to us still flying the same balloon after fourteen years.
If you are comparing quotes, the material is the comparison. Everything else is close to identical.
