I havent placed my order yet but I can get the 500g cakes for about 15$ each this year. I paid about $20 per last year when I bought wholesale. I'm trying to spend $6000 this year to get the price down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be careful......i've been doing some fireworks for a while now and have been having a good time. We have a nice group that comes out and I am going to continue to focus on doing this safely and working towards lighting everything remotely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been shopping for the best price I can find for a couple years now. What I'm going to pay this year is only about 3-5% or so more than the price of buying a whole shipping container straight from China for a little over $60,000........The retail prices in the stores are absolutely insane.

I have shopped every fireworks wholesaler in the US and to get them much under $40 per you have to spend a minimum of $6000 and that does not include shipping. To get them in the $30-$35 range you need to buy a shipping container shipped straight from china and that is $60,000 I just posted that link to show what they were....it was the first link on the google search Pretty sure you dont know what you are babbling about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 This was the cheapest place I found last year and they sold out of their Excaliber cases this year already. http://springfieldfireworks.com/product-category/case-lot/artillery-shells-case/ It was $285 plus tax for 6 boxes. So about $50 per box here and I could not find them cheaper than that anywhere last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
