I’ve ordered from a few sites before. The key thing is most legit online retailers only ship to states where consumer fireworks are legal. Ohio you’re fine for stuff like fountains, sparklers, novelties. But actual aerial stuff? That gets trickier. Some will ship 1.4G to Ohio, some won’t. You gotta check their shipping policy. Phantom has a store locator thing on their site. TNT’s similar. Independent sites are more hit or miss.

in reply to: What do you do with leftover fireworks after the 4th? #5545

Ive actually started doing this thing where I intentionally buy a little extra and set aside a “rainy day” stash for like random weekends through the summer. No joke sometimes the best shows are the ones you do on a random Saturday in August when theres nothing going on and you just feel like lighting stuff up.

Just make sure your storage is solid if youre keeping them for months. I keep mine in a plastic ammo box with a silica pack in the basement. Stays cool and dry. Had some cakes get damp one time from storage in the garage and the lift was super weak – shells barely popped. Total waste of good fireworks.

Honestly Tina you should def save at least a couple for Labor Day. Theres something nice about having a small show when the summer is winding down.

in reply to: Best packaging you’ve seen this season? #5518

Big fan of the World Class canister shell boxes. The artwork on their 2025 line was gorgeous – almost felt bad throwing them away. But honestly for practical packaging, I think Brothers does it best. Those plastic trays inside their cake boxes keep everything snug and nothing rattles around during shipping.
