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

First time I have ever bought fireworks…

First time I have ever bought fireworks or done any from the house.
My son was turning 21 and of course we couldn’t have more than 6 people, so a big do was a no go.
Wanted to make it special, so went with fireworks!!
FABULOUS!!!
Amazing delivery, within two days. Lovely people to deal with.
Fireworks were so easy, safe and utterly spectacular!
My son was totally made up!
(I put a message on local Facebook page warning people, so had no complaints either!!)
Complete recommend from us!

I used Fantastic Fireworks in January…and I'll use them again.

I used Fantastic Fireworks in January 2020 and was thoroughly satisfied with their service. Satisfied at both the point of sale (Paula) and delivery. I found them knowledgeable, professional and friendly. For future firework requirements I'll use them.

Hello David, thank you writing a review. We are very sorry about the delivery mess up and any inconvenience it caused you. We have switch courier companies this year and they have let us down with a few deliveries, sadly one of them was your order. I have sent you an email with a discount code as a token of our apology.

Having never really bought fireworks on …

Having never really bought fireworks on this scale i was a bit apprehensive. I spoke to one of the team and they talked me through the fireworks i had selected and also through the ordering process online.
The rockets we had selected went well and were perfect for our little display up the lakes. We also bought 3 of the one light fireworks. THE BIG SHOW was the final one for the display that really did go with a bang. We shall defiantly be back again for more.....
Superb lads.
Cheers

Ordering easy

Ordering easy. Delivery and communication problematic. Company chose delivery day themselves as they could batch and route deliveries. no problem with that. They phoned to say they could not find us and actually said they were only going to wait a few more minutes before they would have left. Since I paid £50 for delivery ( not clear this was the cost till you get to checkout) I was very disappointed with a service that had cost me £50.

Hello Amanda,
Thank you for your comments.
Our courier had explained to us that he had had difficulty finding your property, however all of our Couriers - without exception - will do their utmost to deliver orders and avoid a redelivery charge for customers. Because our goods are classed as explosives we have to use specialists couriers, hence the delivery charges. We wish that there was some way around this, but unfortunately there isn't and to add to it certain, more remote postcodes such as your address do incur a higher charge, as explained in the delivery section on our web site.
We hope that you enjoyed your fireworks, Paula

Flares

I had a problem with flares I bought, but the company responded to my complaint in a very positive way and gave me an immediate refund. I was very happy with the outcome.

We are very happy that you are now happy! [We have since tested some of the flares and they burned for an hour so hopefully it was a one off!] Thanks for reviewing your purchase again. Paula

Saved the day!

I would have no problems in recommending this company. I was a first time buyer looking for some fireworks for my son 1st birthday so I placed an order online was sent an email straight away Great communication and great service there was a mix up with deliveries when I phoned the company and true to there word they arranged the fireworks to be delivered straight away saving the day! The fireworks were the highlight of the event!
