  • Just wondering if the site will be investigating all the different Firework offers at all the different supermarkets this year and reccomending best/cheapest places to buy?

    are latifs sellling there fireworks yet they useally advertise in the paper as i remember of last year and do some good special offers
  • i like to cheat the system to get my fireworks cheap,

    1)i go to the local displays, then....
    2)check out the licensing laws

    the reason behind this is that come the 10th of november normal retailers can not sell fireworks as they only have temperary licenses, so they have to cover their costs and get rid of them. (or they have £5000 fine)

    a couple of years ago i did this i went to a toymaster (i think) and they sold fireworks which normally cost £60 per box for £7.50.

    i told a couple of guys from work and we spent £60 and had over £480 of fireworks.

    be aware that these prices won't last, i got lucky, last year i only got 50% off and had to blag free sparklers and that

    Enjoy

    Well my fireworks arrived today on time and as expected. They even threw in a few free gifts (some sparklers and a large ground mine) which wasn't expected, but greatfully received. The large rocket pack I ordered (SFX) has a metal cage inside which the rockets are stored in.

    Excellent service. Will defo use again !


    shame you didnt check out www.jbsfireworks.co.uk they have a massive selection of fireworks and spend over £100 its free delivery the rockets are great i got mine there last year
  • the fireworks that i got from lidle wher ok but more sound needs to be in the selection box
  • I wouldnt bother with the supermarket stuff at all. The quality just isnt there in my opinion.

    Im in West Yorkshire and a few of us have chipped in this year to put on a display. We have bought from a local company https://www.pegasuspyrotechnics.co.uk. Ordered online on Monday evening and took delivery on Wednesday. Impressed with the service and the stuff looks quality. Really looking forward to letting it all off!!
