Is the ball shipped without air, that is, deflated?

It is shipped flat and deflated. I used a pump in order to inflate it faster vs using the straw thing that came with it for manual blowing.

It is inflated but you always wont to put air in it for your preference of firmness. Have fun throwing the pigskin!!!!

Yes, the front tire comes shipped with no air. You will need to pump it up.

As picture shows, you can see an air pump next to it. It will arrive in the box flat and deflated. You will have to pump it yourself. So it's air. If it was sand you wouldn't be able to lift it, it's pretty big to be filled with sand

The balls are deflated. You have to pump them up half way, wait 8-12 hours then finish pumping them up fully.

Yes. It arrives filled. However, the ratio of helium to other gas is suspect, as the balloons don't float for very long.

I'm sorry I don't know how to accommodate your request. The basketball I am selling will be shipped directly from Amazon. I am certain it was partially inflated in the manfacturer's packaging. I don't envision Amazon opening the package and deflating the product because then it would no longer be new. I could check.

If you look on bottom there is a hole that allows to inflate (like a basketball). I personally haven't inflated my set, but I think this should solve your problem. Before trying you might check the Yamuna website QA.

Hi Tracy, It's very light, probably about a lb. or two. And if you take it deflated it would pack better. You could probably inflate it manually, it was just much easier with a pump. But not really necessary. Have fun on your trip!

The ball comes un-inflated so you can make it as firm as you like. The air can also be released if you over inflate it.

Sorry I can't say The ball leaked air. Only played with it once and couldn't get a feel for it

It comes inflated but occasionally needs extra air, I am in Boulder at altitude so most of the time I have to check the air pressure in the ball and add or deflate a bit. Sam Iannetta

No, it was delivered with perfect condition. My son loved this ball. Just I used air pump to inflate the ball sometimes.

The balls are inflated when we get them in stock. You can always deflate the ball when you receive it

The ball is hollow, but it is molded, not inflated, so it holds its shape . In fact, it actually comes with a small hole in it, I assume as a result of the molding process. My boxer loves biting the ball and forcing air out the hole--I think she likes the sound.
