100 Party Balloons - 11" Round Latex, Pastel Assortment - Passion Pink, Lucious Lavender, Island Blue and Butterscotch and Kiwi Lime

I ordered these balloons half expecting that the colors would not be the ones advertised bearing in mind the past reviews. I did not really care about the colors so much. Funny enough, I received the balloons in the right pastel colors, only problem is that the yellow ones (kiwi lime) inside the bag were almost all melted together and unusable. So I had about 20 balloons less than what I should have received. Obviously the manufacturer has a very bad QA process. How difficult is it to manufacture and package balloons in the right colors and quality? At 10c per balloon, I would expect a bit more frankly.

The last I checked, BLACK, is not a pastel color. I purchased these 100 "pastel" balloons for the 100th day of school. I wanted my kids to come in and see 100 balloons around our classroom! However, I received 25 black balloons that I have no use for because I wanted to write a number 1-100 on each balloon, and I won't be able to do that with the black ones. Now, I have to go out and purchase 25 balloons...I will most likely purchase 25 "kiwi lime" balloons, since those were the ones that I didn't get. I didn't get any lucious lavender either. These balloons were just thrown in a random baggie that was twisted and taped shut...not NEW as described.

The balloons were absolutely fine, but they were NOT pastel colors as advertised. While I understand the actual product may not match the image posted online, the balloon colors I received were much too dark for what I intended to use them for. I disappointing purchase this time, but I'm sure I will be able to find use for them for some other event in the future.
