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. If you can buy them right then it's fine, 15 - 20 years ago we used to drop around $1500 and get a boat load of stuff but we also knew a guy that could get us a major discount. The last few years on the 4th of July I sit by the campfire at our lake cottage and I put on my Bernie Sanders mask and enjoy all the displays the other cottage owners put on.

They did at least for the past ++ years I can remember... last year they did, I didn't save the receipt , you'll have to trust me... I believe they are doing buy one get one.....but not on those at that price. I'll call them tomorrow and ask if you like I know for a fact they arent letting those walk out the door for $30 per. That would be about what they are paying for them or so after getting them shipped over from China. Like I said.....I have shopped all over the country. I have an account and approved for Gold level pricing at Spirit of 76 in Missouri. I got quotes on entire cargo containers shipped straight from mainland China.

Do you guys mix 60g canisters in at all? I found the reloadable mortars travel much higher than most 500g cakes....even most of the grand finale style cakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bunch of seasonal fireworks stands right by my house. When we first moved here there was a guy who was an electrician and was laid off for years when the economy crapped out. He started selling fireworks out if the back of his parents antiques store. He said he makes more money in one month selling fireworks then he did working all year as an electrician. He had the best selection and best prices too. His parents sold the store a couple years ago tho, I don't know where he went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was your "elite" price, on your posted link was significantly higher than day to day prices here. I was just asking if y'all have a high tax on them out there. Call them up, maybe they can hook you up on a cargo freight load. You can thank me later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 If you ordered them at the pricing outlined above they would be somewhere in the $30-$35 range per .........that is calculated off cubic meters of freight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
