lalaland Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Following last year's bad customer service and rude treatment in the Chinese Fireworks store at the bottom of London Road I used Sparklers a bit further up the road to get my fireworks and found them to be a lot more friendlier and more helpful (as in actually spending time to make sure customers are happy instead of quickly dismissing them while making a beeline for the guy they know spends thousands with an "ah, Mr xxx so nice to see you" as he pushed us all out of the way while in the middle of serving us). We tend to all club in each year and spend about £200-300 as a group (it costs £20 per person for admission to my garden, all proceeds go on fireworks as a group purchase:D) and I was wondering if there's anywhere people could recommend for a real bargain this year? We prefer rockets and fireworks that band rather than ones that chuck out coloured sparks. The repeaters are fun and I like those cake things that fire a few hundred shots out. Anyone know of anywhere that could provide a decent amount of fireworks for that price? It seems to be better to purchase single items rather than boxes as the boxes contain few rockets and banging fireworks, so a 'make your own selection' sort of thing would be prefered I think.

Whatif wewin Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 You don't really need to buy, there are others going off all the time so I enjoy the free show most nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skala Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I agree with the above, hate fireworks so just watch all the others going off! Such a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loops Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 ALDI have got some good fireworks, seen em today. Not sure on prices though but they are normally reasonably priced for other things. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satman2222 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 JTF at Catcliffe near to Big W / Morrisons have a wide selection - you will need a card to get in though. Can't shift in there for the Christmas stuff at the moment !! Perhaps you should have been buying fireworks there in August! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheShe Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 No-where I hope and if people must let it be as a group that DONT set them off before Nov 5th. It's like a war zone round here the bangs are so loud. Ps. Where do the youngsters (you have to be 18 to buy them) get them from, and where do they get the money to pay the extortionate price for them?

lalaland Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 I half exected the anti Noevmber 5th lot here, while I appreciate your different views it would surely be better to create a post for those sort of comments? I will look at Costco, but I presume it's a bulk buy there, not single items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
