pyrotechnic gear in the uk

[chrisward90]

hey question for uk users or anyone that knows. Anybody know of a good website thats ships things like mortar tubes and stuff like that to the uk. Been looking at the turbo pyro pdf from skylighter and i decided it was the best place to start just need the stuff used to create the fireworks but not sure if skylighter ships out of the us. Any help would be appreciated thanks

Simply put, US suppliers don't ship outside the US.

 

What mortars do you want? I'm UK based and have a few smaller sizes surplus to needs.

Oliver Brown.co.uk and Pyro-gear.co.uk Pyro gear is more star rollers and mills but both are good sites

Have a look at the copperman site

Copperman is expensive. Pyrofan.eu is a polish site that I use. The only problem is the £18 delivery charge. However the fuse is dirt cheap compared to the uk, and so are the mortar tubes. Oliverbrown is probably you best bet! I would highly recommend. Good prices, friendly, helpful and fast delivery.

I use Oliver brown pyrotechnics personally. Good rates and decent selection. Only thing i can complain about is once had problems with their quick match but was a very minor problem

With Pyrogear .co.uk you have to ask for chemicals.

I thought Nafta was suppose to increase trade with other countries.

The only increase has been a one way street of cheap imports coming into the country.

An increase in shipping costs and regulations make it a pain in the ass to ship anything outside the borders.

I can order a $2.00 item directly from China and get it shipped to my door for a total of $5.00.

If I want to send a $2.00 item to China it costs me a minimum of $25.00 along with a pile of red tape and questions.

Not sure why they call it free trade. (Free for them, but not me)

It depends on how heavy the 2 dollar item is I guess... if it was a 2 dollar drill bit I am sure you can send it in a stamped envelope anywhere in the world for around 2 dollars, but if it was a 2 dollar plastic stool then it will cost a lot more (lots of volume despite low weight). As for paperwork I'm not sure what you mean, you just fill out a custom form that tells them what it is, and all you have to be is be truthful in it. However I have no idea how are companies like iherb.com able to send orders pretty much worldwide with such low shipping cost... am I missing something?

Speaking of suppliers, I was a very good customer for Adam at Hobby Chemicals. I spent quite a bit of money with him and even got a Christmas card! I made an order last year which was procrastinated for months and I eventually gave up. He doesn't reply to my emails yet I notice the company is still supplying but won't talk to me. There were no issues as far as I'm aware, all bills paid up front. Can anyone share any light as to what's going on with HC?
