Ask the Firework Wizard

26/05/2020

Chris, our chief firework wizard has seen, tested, fired, handled, tasted and rated every firework available to the UK buyer - he can put together a display just for you perfectly timed sequenced and organised to give you the best possible show for any budget! Remeber, we don't just sell fireworks, we LOVE them!Firework Shortage? Not Here!You may well have heard rumours about a potential shortage of fireworks this season. Don’t panic – not only will we be fully stocked, but our range will be wider than ever before. So, what is going on, you may well wonder? Due to port capacity being required for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Chinese authorities instituted an export ban on fireworks between (depending on the port) June and September. This effectively means that all fireworks for the UK market had to leave China before June to arrive in time for the Bonfire Night season. As a major all year retailer, we ensured that large orders were placed well in advance of other dealers, and this coupled with the loyal support we get from our suppliers means we are in a strong position to fulfill heavy demand. Whilst we are confident in having enough stock, some dealers will no doubt run short – particularly short term seasonal shops – yet another reason to support your all year specialist.http://www.fireworkfactory.com
