“We ordered double our containers that we normally order [but] a lot of it is sitting in China still; sitting on docks on the west coast,” said Maicki. “So, we’ve got about half, so far, of what we were expecting.”
Prices have also gone up because of the high demand and limited supply of fireworks. He expects prices to level out after July 4.
Maicki recommends coming in sooner than later to get specialty items before they sell out.
At the same time, the surge in interest in consumer grade fireworks comes when environmental conditions are prime to ignite fires.
