Don't be fooled by rocketing firework prices!

David has been telling me how expensive he found his recent weekend trip to Dublin. With a pint of beer costing 5 euros, that's very nearly a fiver a pint! It's the same with the dollar. With the pound sinking from 1.90 a year ago to 1.40 today, anything priced in dollars will cost you 35 per cent more in pounds. That's why petrol prices have crept up again recently & why Chinese firework imports, which are also priced in dollars, will rocket in cost this year. The good news for Fantastic Fireworks customers is that we will be one of the very few UK firework companies not be raising our prices. That's because we anticipated the fall in sterling and bought our entire 2009 stock at 2008 prices. If you hear of any customers of other companies being told that fireworks price rises are unavoidable, please refer them to us!
