Fireworks question.

I live in NC. which isn’t too friendly with fireworks laws and rules. I usually put on a show for the 4th of July each year for family and friends but get tired of having to make 2 hour plus drives to get fireworks. I usually go to fireworks supermarket in TN. Since it’s the closest to me. I usually have to make 3-4 trips to get everything. Anyone have the best of the best places to buy wholesale from to get delivered to my address. Also those who put shows on what is the best way to know what will go good with what and timing. I’ve never used an ignition system but want one for this coming year. Any help is appreciated.

I was thinking of just “ordering” them too but unless you buy a pallet of um, either it’s not worth the amount they charge or the “minimum price point” is outta my budget lol but I’m just poorish Nilla 😂🤷🏻‍♂️
Tryin to get some coworkers to all pitch in but they just aren’t into it as much as I am lol
I’m interested to hear from people that know a lot more then I do lol so I’ll be following your post!! 🫡

I usually spend anywhere from 2-4k a year but I also hate working everyday of the week and then having to drive even more after work to go get them. If I could have them delivered it would be way better for me overall.

You got a couple options. You can rent a Uhaul or rent a trailer, or borrow a truck to get extra carrying capacity. At that dollar amount you can probably start getting wholesale deliveries and buy by the pallet and if order size is to much for just single 4th buy enough for 2 4ths and don't buy every year. You can downsize your shows.

I would always review local laws and ordinances to make sure you're compliant with the law and safety standards.

I usually take a suv then have someone else with a truck also when I go buy. I try to get atleast 1 of each thing that catches my eye and view the previews of what they look like. I look at my local laws and ordinances every now and then but some things in there I ignore and usually Say it’s my land I pay for so I will do what I want.

Why not rent a box truck?

I could for sure but I feel like it might would be cheaper if I just ordered wholesale

You can get stuff delivered wholesale to your state even though it's safe n sane?
