Hello all,
As we are now only 3 months away from Bonfire Night, I thought we'd update you on how things are going and what's coming.
As per usual, the shipping of fireworks is making the headlines again. Due to ongoing issues in the Red Sea, cargo ships are now making a huge detour. Instead of going through the Suez Canal, they are being forced to go around the bottom of Africa. The result being increased shipping costs and approximately 2 weeks added on to delivery times. The result is, as per usual, price increases. We know a few of them but are still awaiting confirmation of the rest. As it stands on our site, the prices are correct, and we will honour any sales at current prices.
We will do our best to limit any increases to either a bare minimum or depending on the cost we may absorb them. In the event that increases are deemed excessive for a line, we may cancel it.
That's the bad news out of the way, now for the good stuff. We are currently standing at about 60% stock, we have had some deliveries already and had confirmation on everything outstanding.
This year we have managed to source some fantastic big single rockets, always the bane of my life, as well as some stunning new rocket packs.
We have some new selection boxes and for the first time some big barrage packs, something we've usually steered clear of, but now we have mail order, they are a needed addition to the range.
As always we try to keep our prices as competitive as we can, and limit any price increases to a minimum and we have even managed to reduce some lines due to our buying power.
So for now, that's about it. We keep on working hard in the background to keep us on track for this years Bonfire Night season.
Thanks for reading
