Collect it free,
or we bring it to you
Every order can be collected from any of our 4 shops at no charge, ready the next day. We also deliver across the North West. Fireworks are not something a courier will leave on a doorstep, so there are a few rules — they are all below.
Collect from a shop
Free
Order online and pick it up from Prescot, Wigan, Padiham or Chorley. Ready the next day. Wait for the email that says it is on the counter before you set off — do not travel on the strength of the order confirmation.

A local courier brings it and will call first to agree a time. Allow five to seven days from ordering, and rather more than that in the fortnight before Bonfire Night.
Check we cover youWhere we deliver
Fireworks travel under carriage rules that most national couriers will not take on, so we use a local firm and keep to the postcode areas they cover. If your postcode starts with one of these letters, we can bring it to you — the area is much wider than the town it is named after.
- PRPreston area
- BBBlackburn area
- BLBolton area
- WAWarrington area
- WNWigan area
- MManchester area
- LLiverpool area
- OLOldham area
- SKStockport area
- CWCrewe area
- CHChester area
Each is a Royal Mail postcode area, not a single town: CH takes in the Wirral as well as Chester, PR reaches Southport, M covers most of Greater Manchester. Put your postcode into the checkout and it will tell you either way.
Outside those areas the checkout asks you to get in touch rather than quoting a price. Call 0151 430 6060 and we will find out what a courier would charge to reach you.
What happens when it arrives
None of this is us being difficult. Fireworks are a controlled product and the carrier has to be able to show who took them.
- Somebody eighteen or over has to sign
- The driver cannot leave the order with a neighbour, in a porch, or with anybody who cannot show they are over eighteen. A failed delivery is charged again.
- Check the boxes before you sign
- Count them against the delivery note and write anything wrong on it there and then. Once it is signed for clean, it is much harder for us to argue with the courier.
- Damage, within twenty-four hours
- Ring 0151 430 6060 the same day or the next. Every order is checked twice before it leaves the shop, so anything broken almost certainly happened in transit — which we can only claim for quickly.
- Anything short, in writing within five days
- Email or write to us. Five days from the day it arrives.
- Open the boxes when they come
- Not on the afternoon of the display. If something is missing we need time to put it right, and the week before the fifth of November is the week we have least of it.
- Paid in full before it is sent
- Nothing leaves the shop against a part payment.
Everything we sell conforms to CE registration 2806 and is supplied on the condition that it is used as the manufacturer intends.
