- What is a User's Permit? I hear they are all bogus, why do I have to buy one?
A "User's Permit" is required according to state statue 167.10 to legally possess Consumer Fireworks.
The permits issued by the Town of Wayne (For $4.00) are 100% state legal. The bogus permits you keep hearing about are usually called a "possessor permit". According to the state law, you MUST have a date and location of use for a permit to be valid.
IF SOMEONE TRIES TO ISSUE YOU A "POSSESSOR PERMIT" OR REQUIRES YOU TO JOIN A "SHOOTERS CLUB" YOU ARE NOT IN LEGAL POSSESSION OF CONSUMER FIREWORKS. Both of these have been proven not valid for possession of Consumer Fireworks by various Wisconsin courts.

- How old do I need to be to purchase fireworks?
In the state of Wisconsin, you must be 18 to purchase any item that requires a permit (State Statue 167.10). There is no age restriction for "safe and sane" fireworks, such as smoke bombs, sparklers and fountains. As a general rule of thumb, we require you to be at least 16 years old to purchase safe and sane items.

- How do you know what these fireworks look like?
Easy: Being the only fireworks store in the area with a state legal shooting site, we test each and every item before it ever hits our shelves. If we don't like it, we don't sell it. Plus, we get to see exactly what every item does!

- What fireworks do you sell that are safe?
None. All fireworks can be dangerous. Even a sparkler burns hotter than 1,800 degrees! If you ever have a question on how to use any of our products, don't hesitate to ask. There is no such thing as a stupid safety question. Better to be safe than sorry.

- How can I order your products online?
Due to various laws, we are not able to ship any fireworks. The only way to purchase fireworks from this site is to request them to be picked-up in our store.
Simply select the items you are interested in, click the "In-Store Pickup" button and fill your shopping cart. When you are all done shopping you will be asked to create an account and verify your order.
All payments must be made at the time of pickup. You also must have a valid photo ID to get a Town of Wayne fireworks permit (The town charges $4.00) if you do not have a valid "Consumer Fireworks USER Permit".

- Do you accept credit cards and debit cards?
We accept Visa and MasterCard. We also accept any debit card that carries the Visa or MasterCard logo as a credit card. We do not offer cash back.

- Are your online prices the same as your in-store prices?
Almost. While the retail prices are the same, various specials in our store like the 3 for $99 500g cakes are not calculated by our online store. You still qualify for these discounts and they will be applied when you pickup your order.

- What if an item I purchase doesn't work?
Bring it back and we replace it. If the fuse burned but nothing happened, or if the item only partly went off. We wouldn't want to be stuck with some dud and we don't expect you to either. NEVER attempt to relight or modify any item that doesn't work. This can be VERY dangerous so just bring it back and we'll replace it.

- Can you ship fireworks to...?
No, we do not ship fireworks anywhere. If you wish to contract a private OTR shipper feel free to do so. We are more than happy to box up your order and work with the shipping company to arrange pickup, FOB Allenton, WI.
Shipping 1.4g is VERY expensive, keep this in mind!

- What is up with the skinny-minnie website? And where are the videos?
Yes -- after 7 years, the website is in serious need of a facelift. We were hoping to fire this out by 2009, but fireworks come first around here; the new website fell to the back burner.
We expect to have a new website for 2010 that is a little easier to use and a whole lot more pretty to look at. What can we say -- we specialize in fireworks, not websites. :) (Except for this website guy who works here, but he spends too much time with the fireworks to worry about the website until the fall...we're all addicts here, what can we say?)

- Guaranteed lowest price or its free? Really?
Yep, full details are here. But if you find it cheaper elsewhere, we'll give it to you for FREE. Fliers and websites for these "pay double get one free" gimmick places are right on our front counter. Feel free to search, we're just waiting to give SOMETHING away for free.
