    Has anyone used http://www.fireworksinternational.co.uk/ before?

    Are their small cakes, like Laser Bombard (£14.99) and Triple H Bomb (£15.99) good fireworks/good value?

    I can't see anything, but do they have a minimum spend?

    They look good for the money, just wondering if anyones used them.

    Cheers,
    Dave

    I have never purchased directly from Fireworks International but find their fireworks quite good. Triple H Bomb is a good cake and is a smaller version of King of Colour. Crazy Horses and Tigers revenge are also brilliant but more expensive.

    Newsbox fireworks have a video of Triple H Bomb which might help:

    In FI's terms it states that there is no minimum spend. Orders over £99 costs £10 delivery but orders under £99.99 could be more expensive

    That looks liek a great site. Can't say i have used it though but i have heard good things about the Triple H bomb. Go to www.epicfireworks.com. They have a huge range of cakes and have videos for each one so you might be able to find videos of certain ones your after including Triple H bomb of which i have seen the video.
  • Tesco

    £40 buy one get one FREE pack

    A premium display pack containing 14 larger fireworks.

    FOR WHICH 11 OF ARE FOUNTAINS!!!!!

    Great value for money.

    Fountains can give very good effects compared to aerial fireworks,, and the large moulded 1kg cone fountains would cost about £10 each, so it's not really possible to say whether it's a good deal or not just because they are fountains

    Also tesco have some great offers I as said above buy one get one free as do Sainsburys I saved £70 on my fireworks at Tesco.

    As for Lidl I dont see any fireworks on there website.

    There are a lot of fireworks shops on the high street only open for a few weeks dont know what they charge but they normally lower prices before they close to get rid of stock.

    Asda fireworks are more expensive than tesco no bogof but are a differnt brand.

    I went to one of their stores yesterday. I bought a Triple H Bomb - looks good...and something called Killer Centipede or something, 150 shots, says its colourful and bangs a bit - we shall see! lol that was £10.99 - will report back when we've used them on the 2nd.

    Some small fountains/roman candles in store - £4 BOGOF, so I grabbed a few. Nice store in Derby and the bloke in their seemed nice, so I might go back next year and buy all my fireworks in there.

    They had a good looking 2ft Catherine wheel in there, I think £12...that caught my eye, but I'm not a fan of wheels.

    Now I think I'm going to Latifs in Birmingham later this week (nearer home) to buy some from there. Ever used Dancing Red Devil, selection boxes?

    Cheers,
    Dave :D

    Yeah Lidls have dissapeared of their website but are still available in shops. And the ones i have had from Asda were crap and Sainsburys are very window dressed. lol.
  • hi,
    Can somebody please tell me what is the cheapest firework or selection box that makes alot of noise that are in supermarkets.
    :j :j :j :j
  • Well this is the most money i have ever spent on fireworks, i ordered with Epic.

    for each barrage there is more than one so ill say what i had in total.

    75 x ring shell rockets, 5 rockets to a pack.. 15 packs.

    2 x Predator 500 shot.

    4 x End of the world 500 shot.

    2 x Screaming spiders 100 shot.

    16 x Firesnake 100 shot.

    12 x Night vision 105 shot.

    That lot came to alot of money as u can imagine..

    I believe i got the best ones for the money, especially the huge barrages. I tried to get other single ones and couldnt think what to get, hence why i got the Firesnake & night vision ones. I dont want to light just a couple and have them all gone just like that :rotfl:

    real shame that you cant buy those boxes on special offer online though, they look so cheap for the amount of fireworks you get in it.
