Too slow paced, not enough shots for the money.
It is becoming clear to me why I am losing faith in consumer fireworks.

But I would feel like my pants had been pulled right down if I had paid £150 for that.
lol one way of putting it.
id have to agree a nice mixture of effects (very slow) but to me it not worth £150. More like £50

How much are these things to buy from china?
There might be a set trade price to the retailer and the retailer and supplier might also negotiate a further discount. (As with lots of businesses)
Don't forget that retailers have other costs too- opperating costs, storage, insurance , licenses and the like.

Personally I don't really think I could justify spending more than £50-£60 on any single firework.
To be clearly- I'm NOT saying that midnight is only worth £50. What I'm saying is that it's price is more than I'm comfortable spending.
That said, the "£150 plus" top end items arn't new- "Fridge in a Box" candle/mine combos have been around for a few years at at least £150- presumably people do buy them!

not sure, but as with all things there are lots of other costs...
how much is
The trip out to china, the exchange rate, the transportation costs is China, the shipping costs, Port Charges, Terminal Handling charge, Presentation Fee, ISPS Security Charge, Import customs clearance Charge, Port Levy, Haulage in the UK, Duty, VAT, storage and insurance in the UK etc etc
(and being a complete novice when it comes to importing I am sure I have missed plenty as well!!)

You would potentially only need VAT if you are earning over £67 k.
Virtually all businesses who sell fireworks in the UK ARE Vat registered.
In the rare cases where they are not, then VAT will have been paid on the wholesale price. (VAT registered businesses would simply claim this back.)
Remember, RRP's include VAT. A retailer isn't really selling an item for £150 at all- he is selling it for £130, and collecting £20 on behalf of the governement on that sale.
