I've been happy with tmyers.com. Guess I could take a look at some of the other recommendations in this post to check out the variety and prices.

T has always done a lot with the community. I'm interviewing Gus Davis the new owner for ballooncast.org this week.

Its not always about price. Its also about quality and support for the artist. I think T has always done a great job at that part.

A slightly smaller price per bag may not be worth it if your too far from the company..... shipping will kill you. just my 2 cents

Within Canada, I order my balloons (by mail) from Bazaar and Novelty in Vancouver. You have to get a customer #, etc.

The qualitex 260s are about $6.61 CAN per bag, if you buy 10 at a time.

No customs fee, etc. Just GST. Shipping is fairly reasonable, too.

I don't know if these prices are on their website (I seem to recall seeing higher prices online). I'd recommend calling them to get more information.

This is who I've been ordering from, for years.

I, too, can buy them locally for $12 - $18 a bag (but I choose not to).

P.S. If you give away or sell Bamboo Finger Traps, they also carry those, too, at a very reasonable price. I think around $18 for a gross.

I use http://www.madhattermagicshop.com

They have excellent prices on qualatex 260s and the service is great. Fast shipping and excellent communication.

Last time that I ordered from them, they accidentally sent empire sponge balls instead of Goshman. I wrote an email that night and by the next morning they had the Goshman spongeballs in the mail.

I feel bad about the free balls I wound up with though. So when I place my next order I'm going to add the empire balls and just ask Bill to leave them out so that I can repay him.
