There was a bit of a lack of order progress feedback. Subsequent update after phoning to the main office was accurate and professional and the special courier was excellent. Would have been five stars... See more

There was an error with the order but they resolved it so well I could not fault. Sometimes when things go wrong you see the real quality of a business and that’s what I experienced.

Thank you for your generous review, Avinash. Not sure why you didn't get notified of the delivery - we aim for 48 hours as the norm - but I will look into it. Hope you enjoyed the fireworks!

let down by courier

Whilst we were severely let down by the suppliers courier, Fireworks Direct worked relentlessly to resolve the issue over a week and the actual fireworks were spectacular.

I think I just got fleeced and am feeling stung.

I might update this but current situation is I am being charged ++£67++ delivery for an ++£87++ firework and all my efforts to cancel the order (placed 4 minutes after I completed the order) have been ignored. And now I am being threatened with an additional £30 charge if I miss the delivery tomorrow. Steer clear.

I understand you accepted the delivery Christopher. I am afraid we are mystified as to why we did not receive notification that you wish to cancel your order and are sorry this situation has come about as we would of cancelled it without issue. Just to let you know that as fireworks are classed as explosives we have to use specialist Couriers who charge an extra handling fee so our hands are tied I'm afraid. We are always looking to try and reduce this. As a gesture of goodwill I have sent you a discount code valid for 1 year.

Rubbish company

Rubbish company. So ordered firesworks to the value of £145.00 paid for the fast 3 day delivery. On the Tuesday so should arrive on Friday or Saturday at the latest for an event I had on the Sunday. Did they arrive no!
Did the company respond to any of my
Emails no !
Have my fireworks turned up yet NO !
And no refund.

The worst fireworks company going I use a lot of companies and thought I would try this one for the first time. Never again!

Jon,
I have now received a response from our Couriers. I fully understand your annoyance and frustration. I don't wish to make excuses, but in this instance we were badly let down by them. There are only a handful of Couriers in the UK who deliver fireworks and the one we use is normally very reliable. We sincerely apologise for the disappointment caused and wish to offer you, as a valued customer, free delivery on your next order.

Very good fire works. The displays were both slightly shorter than advertised. That is why only 4 stars

Hello Eion,
The timings for our fireworks are only an approximate guide as they are all handmade and can vary because of this - delighted you found them very good!
Thank you for your custom.
