About the Product
How many liters of helium gas are needed?
For some products, the gas capacity is listed in the detailed information, so please check there. If it is not listed, it can often be estimated based on the size and shape, so please inquire via the contact form.
Can anyone easily inject helium gas?
While filling high-pressure rental cylinders requires some skill and knowledge, anyone can easily and safely handle disposable helium cylinders with relatively low pressure. If you're concerned, we recommend purchasing relatively inexpensive heart or star balloons to practice with first. Once you're comfortable, you can then inflate more expensive character balloons.
If inflated with helium gas, how many days will it stay afloat?
It varies depending on the manufacturer, size, and material, so it's hard to say definitively, but even a smaller balloon around 50cm can stay afloat for about three days. Anagram balloons tend to last relatively well; even their 50cm balloons stay afloat for a week. Also, the larger the size, the longer the floating period. For example, when Satchan tried it during winter, hers stayed afloat for two whole months.
Can you ship it inflated with helium gas?
We cannot do that. Shipping costs would become extremely high, and there is also a risk of breakage during transport.
It's currently out of stock. Do you have any plans for restocking?
We assume all items will be restocked unless their listing has been discontinued. If you provide the product name, we can share detailed restocking schedules or prioritize your order. Please feel free to contact us via the inquiry form. However, please note that we may be unable to fulfill your request if the item has been discontinued.
Is the sales quantity per sheet? Or per 10 sheets?
Our products are generally sold individually, but some items, like the Kadomatsu balloons, are sold as sets of two. Such products are clearly marked in the title or product description, so please check.
How many are in stock?
If you contact us, we can confirm the exact inventory count. Furthermore, we generally allow orders for quantities exceeding our current stock with ample buffer. This enables flexible arrangements such as: - Adjusting your order quantity to match our available stock immediately after you place it, either by restocking items or issuing partial refunds. - Shipping the available items first and dispatching the restocked items later.
Regarding Your Order
I placed an order but haven't received an email. What should I do?
You may have entered your email address incorrectly, or it may have been sent to your spam folder. If your name and address are correct and payment has been completed, the product itself will arrive without issue. If you are concerned, please contact us via the inquiry form.
Can I add items to my order after placing it?
If it hasn't been shipped yet, we can add it. If you place two consecutive orders, we will ship them together and refund the extra shipping fee you paid.
Regarding Payment
I don't know how to make a convenience store payment.
Enter the number listed in the email at Loppi or a multi-function copier to issue an application ticket, then take it to the register to pay. For detailed instructions, please check here. For FamilyMart / For Lawson / For Ministop / For Seicomart
I closed the browser before the e-money payment process was complete.
If you are in a hurry, please place your order again. If you are not in a hurry, we will reissue the payment URL when we notice it, even if you leave it as is.
Do you accept payment after delivery?
Payment is generally required in advance. However, for corporate clients only, we can accommodate requests for payment after delivery due to accounting considerations.
Can you issue a receipt?
We can issue receipts in either printed or PDF format. Please indicate your request for a receipt in the remarks section when placing your order, or request one via email after placing your order.
Do you have a valid invoice number?
Yes, we do. Since our store is a registered taxable business, we can provide a tax credit for input tax. The qualified invoice number is listed on the receipt. If you need a receipt, please indicate "Request for receipt" in the remarks section when placing your order, or send us an email after placing your order to request one.
Is the displayed price inclusive or exclusive of tax?
All prices include tax, including shipping costs and foreign currency prices.

There's a hole. Can you replace it?
We will reship immediately. Please contact us via the inquiry form, attaching photos of the damaged item. We will generally handle this by reshipping or issuing a refund, not by exchanging the item.
No air or gas enters.
The straw may be difficult to insert if it sticks to the filling port. In such cases, slowly insert the straw while rotating it. Inserting it while blowing into the device may help. Forcing the straw may damage the check valve. If you are unsure, please contact us via the inquiry form or by phone for guidance.
I don't know where the inlet is located.
For most products, the filling port is located at the bottom, often in the same place where the ribbon is tied. However, this is not the case for all products. In all cases, the filling port is integrated into the seam's adhesive surface, so please search carefully along the adhesive line. If you cannot find it, we can guide you over the phone. Please contact us via the inquiry form or by phone.
I ordered the letter O, but a C arrived instead.
Before inflation, it has a C-shaped form, but when inflated, it becomes O-shaped. Please inflate it to confirm. We thoroughly inspect items before shipping. However, if we mistakenly sent a C instead of an O, we will immediately send you an O. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please contact us via the inquiry form.
I received an item different from what I ordered. What should I do?
We apologize for the inconvenience, but please contact us via the inquiry form. After confirming the situation, we will arrange for a resend or refund.
