Double burst rockets

28 October 2008 - 03:12 PM

Hi Peeps, I'm looking to add to what I've allready bought with a couple of decent rockets preferrably double burst.
I am limited to certain manufacturer's though, mainly all the supermarket makes, Aldi and Lidl included, MenShun, Standard and Fireworks International.
I allready have Menshuns Catalina and Kittyhawk rocket packs, and have spent quite a bit on every thing else, so i just want something a little extra, that won't cost the earth.

Any advice greatly appreciated and I'm sure I'm in the right place to ask.

Half Price Men Shun Fireworks In S. Wales (+ Vat)

23 October 2007 - 11:37 PM

Hi, my first post, so will keep it short. As eveybody already knows, there are a lot more suppliers in the north of the country supplying fireworks than in the south, so I just want tell you all there is a Cash and Carry warehouse in S. Wales that is doing Men Shun fireworks for half price plus the vat.
Check the RRP. on Fireworkreview.org site then just half the price and add the vat. They dont stock the whole range but quite a lot of it. Untill this year, they were giving me 10 % discount but this year they wouldn't because the recon they dont need to give discount 'they're so cheap, they're selling themselves'.
I spent £158 (not all my money, family all chip in) and they threw in a couple of packs of portfires and about 10 different packs of sparklers for the kids, so I reckon there's about 10% there.
It is a warehouse so you are supposed to have a trade card, but I have never seen them turn anybody away saying' ok we'll let you in this time but next time you'll need a card'

Philip Saunders Cash and Carry.
Pontypridd.

About 15 mins drive off the M4. if anybody wants directions just ask and I'll do my best to give you the best route.

There is another Philip Saunders warehouse in Barry, S. Wales but this one doesn't stock the fireworks.

One last question. My 2 local Bright Star suppliers have gone.( 1 gone bankrupt and the other switched to Fireworks International). I just love the Proton b**b barrage, I live in a valley and the reports reverberating off the sides of the valley setting off all the car alarms really used to put a smile on my face :), and now I cant get any without a lengthy car journey. Is there anything else that is as good as, or better than, for the same sort of money.(£10).
