      Just read the information on their website and yes, they are closing down after 6years of trading. They are moving on to 'pastures new'. The only reference to re-vamping is if somebody wants to purchase and take it over. Anyone interested???

        Tragic news if they are closing - I'll miss them.

            I would guess the pandemic has disrupted their business more than they liked with international shipping so difficult right now. :-(

              That's terrible that they are closing down. I still remember when they first opened up. Sucks I'll never got to buy from them.

              What other sites are comparable to them?

                I think Maggy had a baby and that is one of the reasons that they are closing


                I like your question "What other sites are comparable to them?"

                LoonMyName I have bout balloons from Nordic Looner in the past I think the prices are good, fast shipping, good customer service

                  Nordic looners & jenny loons or balloon ace are the next best as far as selection goes and diversity as well as printed balloons. I've not ordered from any of them but may do in future. Deko balon are okay but little choice and looner world on ebay are good as well but can't find them open at the moment either. I've now made my final purchases at balloons United.

                    I wish them the best of luck! I almost exclusively ordered balloons from them, they had a great shop and I never regretted a purchase.

                    Things in life change, so seeing them taking on a new project is something I can totally relate to. They will be missed! <3

                      This is sad news. They were pleasant to buy from and had great quality. It always felt good to purchase from people who were clearly looner's themselves.

                        So sad. Happy for Jan and Maggy though! They have been my go to for non-US balloons for the last 5 years.

                            Very sad and always had good service from balloons United! In the UK I now use balloon ace who have great service and use eBay a lot to get my belbals from German sellers - I have to pay a premium for the printed belbals but I don’t mind!
