A few months ago, I ordered modeling balloons from China. They were supposed to be size 260 (which means 2 inches wide and 60 inches long). In reality, however, the balloons were thinner and shorter, and therefore unfortunately unusable for me. At least I was able to send them back without any problems. Was this a single untrustworthy dealer? Or is this a general problem with Chinese modeling balloons? Are there Chinese dealers who really sell 260 balloons cheaply? Thank you very much for any information.

All of the balloons I have tried from Amazon that were cheap have been super thin and shorter. I also had a whole bunch I was practicing with the other day that were only about 6 months old....almost everyone developed a small leak after being inflated for about 3-4 mins, almost all of them by where the nozzle was tied. Sempertex and Tuffex have been good to me for the last year.
