Where to buy Helium in Lmk

Millie

HI Guys, I'm thinking of getting this for my brother for Christmas but don't fancy spending an additional E44 to fill it with helium. Any idea where and approx cost I could get a few cans of it???
Thanks

Even if you buy Helium direct from BOC or Air suppliers you will have to pay an annual rental fee for the canister of @€;90.
And thats before you pay for a fill of gas
The smallest generally available canisters of helium available are the ones you linked to in Argos(Also available in woodies and other places)
I'm sure argos have the canister and Airswimmer as part of their 3for2 offer aswell so maybe you could find something else you need in that and save that way?

Only other option I can think of is bringing it to a florists and paying them a few quid to fill it for you....
But how do ya get a 5' shark home and hidden then? :P
Or maybe if you know someone else getting an air swimmer ye could split the cost of the canister?

Millie

Thanks Banie, maybe I'll just get the Argos one so...cheers and Merry Christmas.

Mr E

Bear in mind that you don't just fill it up and go. There is a good hour of assembly to it too. I got one a few weeks ago on an offers website to surprise my niece and nephew over Christmas. I plan to go to Woodies Party Zone to fill it on Stephens Day or the 27th and assemble it in a relatives house.

Millie

Thanks Mr E, I had read about the assembly alright but I'll be leaving that to the brother to deal with.

I reserved both the shark and the helium from Argos in Blanchardstown as it was the only store in Dub or Lmk that had stock of the gas so I said I'd better be safe than sorry. I happen to be in Dublin at the minute so will pick it up maybe tomorrow.

Thanks guys

Which?
The helium tanks or the airswimmers?

Millie

Phew thankfully I didn't get out to Argos over the weekend.
If Debenhams are doing them at the price (I'm assuming the shark) then I'd have been gutted.

Icky Thump

Debenhams where doing the shark and the fish for 24 quid each. they where having a sale but i dont know if that was 24 quid before or after as some stuff had the actual price on them and not the sale price.

i bought a moon bounce which was labeled 24 quid aswell and paid 15 for it.

if you didnt get it yet head in and check them out. the debenhams in waterford wasnt selling hellium but the joke shop would be

Need approx. 2.5m3 of helium - any idea where I can get this much and how much does it cost?
Thanks.

You get can Helium in rent free bottles from http://bercarwelding.ie/ in the indutrial estate on the Killmallock rd.You pay for the contents (appx €60) and you pay a deposit for the bottle (appx €60) which is refundable when you return it. Its actually a Hobby weld Product, http://www.hobbyweld.co.uk/?page=56 but should do what you need. Hope this helps.
