Not sure how I've missed this site over the past few weeks...has anyone else heard of this place...I mean,, HOW cheap are these fireworks??? No wonder they've sold out of so many with all the offers they have running...
Anyone any idea of which range of fireworks these are ? http://www.latifs.co.uk/

These are Panda and Red Devil fireworks, the prices are about average for those brands, but as a UKPS member, you would get a 30% discount on Panda Fireworks at SP Fireworks in Stafford.

Seen Latifs website the other week and i was pretty impressed with the prices.

I asked how much postage would be for 5 packs of the mini rockets (10 packs altogether as they're buy 1 get 1 free) and they quoted me £23 for delivery :( so i never bothered with it.

Postal rate is fair as you have to use certain couriers- Royal Mail will not allow fireworks to be delivered.
OK, interest in fireworks to be resumed in the spring. It usually is. ;)

While this may be true, I think the couriers that do have a lisence to transport explosives are running a bit of a monopoly here.

I realise fireworks are usually expensive to ship, but most places seem to have a set delivery fee which usually seems to be £15-20?

I know someone else who ordered £130 from Latifs and got quoted £48 delivery! needless to say she never bothered either.

Dan - Thanks for making me jealous about the mini rockets lol

I bought a 12Kg box of fireworks from The Chinese Firework Company and the delivery was a very reasonable £14. They came overnight too although the site said that was extra.
