New Fireworks for Sale

First of our 'special effect' new products for this year have now arrived. Festival is a rapid firing single ignition display. Other new special eefect series fireworks are due in next week

New firework deliveries

This has been a busy week with the first of the major deliveries arriving. Yesterday went particularly well and the forklift was a big help. Often deliveries have to be all handballed so we managed to get yesterdays delivery sorted out very quickly. Cosmic Fireworks have delivered quite a few items now, these items are going to be in short supply as Cosmic will not be taking in any extra stock this side of Bonfire Night, so what stock we have managed to get is it. Hence we thought we would take our order from them as early as they were able to ship it.

We have had pictures come from China of our own range being loaded onto containers. we hope these will arrive shortly but they are being taken in with a long term view so we may not have them for this Bonfire Night. If however they do arrive early we will post them on our web site.

Other UK importers are indicating late deliveries of their fireworks into the UK and certainly two of our suppliers are still waiting for many products to arrive in the UK, they have indicated that these items will not be arriving until October, so a little late but just in time for Bonfire Night.

Fireworks for sale

Many firework manufacturers and importers are reporting late deliveries of their fireworks into the UK this year. many products are currently arriving about a month later than usual and some factories have yet to make their products for the UK market.

We have confirmations on all of the items on our web site and in our brochure and are currently taking in several deliveries each week. Whislt many have gone to print early with their brochures and may therefore have to let customers down we have waited until all our orders have been confirmed so that we feel secure in being able to supply the products in our range.

Fireworks deliveries

The first of our orders from China has now arrived and is safely packed away. This year has seen many problems with supply of fireworks from China. Firstly one of the largest UK importers went into administration which initialy led to some confusion as they had gone into administration only 2 years previously but it does mean that they will not be importing any new products this year just selling off what they already have in stock. Also in China itself there have been problems with manufacture. As I write this there is still a ban in place in China regarding the manufacture of fireworks at the temperature is too hot for this to be safely done. Combined with that one of the ships that transfer containers of fireworks from the area of manufacture to Shanghai to the large container ships coming to the UK capsized. 16 containers destined for the UK market were lost and tragicaly the captain of the vessel has not been found.

We have put our new 2011 main season web site on-line. This is primarliy for the live testing of links as to be honest the only way to make usre everthing works is in the end to put it live. As you will see we have some great offers and are able to offer a free delivery service (subject to a few conditions) for the first time.

We will update the web site with news as it happens.

Firework Spring sale ends this Friday

Our annual Spring Firework sale ends this Friday 20th May. We still have some great offers at prices that will not be repeated later in the year.

Here is the link to our sale page; http://www.jordansfireworks.co.uk/fwsite/special-offers.html

2011 new products

We have lost various products over the last two years with manufacturers ceasing trading and companies supplying mass market products rather than quality specialist fireworks so after a trial last year with a mew manufacturer we are please to anounce that in 2011 we will be introducing several fantastic items. Some will be brand new designs whilst others will be improvments on loved fireworks from the past. We will have a great little single ignition firework box with 52 shots and lasting about one miniute, it will feature many changes of effects and be very competitively priced. Also available this year will be a 500 shot rapid fire barrage, this will be a development of a product from the past and has ben greatly improved by making the duration about 45 seconds and introducing the shellburst effects much earlier into the display. Other products will include a medium sized single ignition, a large single ignition, some large bore palm effect barrages a a great selection of medium sized cakes.

Firework Spring Sale & New Fireworks

We are just sending out our details for our 2011 Spring Firework sale. The leaflets have arrived from the printers and labels are being put onto envelopes so we are all very busy at the momment. We expect to get them all posted by the weekend, if you are not on our mailing list to receive our sale leaflet then contact us sales@jordansretail.co.uk

We are also designing some new fireworks for bonfire night 2011. I think we have got the labels all sorted out now but it is so difficult as emails go back and forth as we try to get the changes we want. The classic story of a UK company trying to get their firework labels printed in China was that when they were asked what they wanted on the label they said 'the same as last year' and that is what the product was called 'The Same as Last Year' hopefully we'll avoid that mistake.

We have some very big surprises with new products for this coming season, we don't want to give away too much at this stage but the products have phenomenal performance and the prices are less than anything else we have seen.

Spring Firework sale coming soon
