Question 1

What states do you ship to?

Accepted Answer

Can you ship to me?

Yes! We can legally ship fireworks almost anywhere in the United States according to federal law.

However, some local laws (state, county, city, etc.) may over-regulate your ability to ship, store, possess, or otherwise use fireworks in your area. It is your responsibility to check with your local authorities since we rely on you for this purpose in fulfilling your order.

Once the fireworks are loaded on the delivery truck, they are yours (and so is the risk of confiscation or citation).

What states do you ship to?

We choose not to ship to the following states based on their un-American over-regulation of fireworks. We also do not have any Fireworks Pickup Spots in the following states.

We do not ship to: Alaska, California, Delaware, Hawaii, Kansas, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Vermont

We do not have any Fireworks Pick Spots in: Alaska, California, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Vermont

Can you guarantee my order delivery date or time?

Typically, we recommend placing your order at least 14 business days in advance of your event to ensure that it arrives on time. If you have a specific date in mind, we recommend placing your order even earlier to account for any unforeseen delays that may occur during shipping.
