Storage:
Can I store fireworks in my home?
Canadian federal law permits the storage of 10kg or less of fireworks in a dwelling or a place attached to a dwelling (e.g. a garage) so long as (i) the fireworks are kept in a dry place away from any source of heat any any substance that could cause ignition; and (ii) the fireworks are kept inaccessible to everyone under 18 years of age.
How long do fireworks last?
Fireworks have a good shelf life as long as they are stored properly. For ideal storage, keep your fireworks in a non-humid environment with a consistent temperature and stored in a cardboard box. Do not store fireworks in a sealed plastic bin as these materials prevent air circulation and can cause condensation.
Returns:
Does Fireworks Superstore offer product guarantee?
Fireworks Superstore has 100% product guarantee. It is rare for fireworks to fail or misfire. In the event a firework misfunctioned, douse with water and set aside. Contact us the next day and bring the defected product with your receipt. Upon inspection a refund or exchange will be issued.
Can I return fireworks I have not used?
No. Canadian Federal Law prohibits the resale or redistribution of fireworks once they have left Fireworks Superstore. This is because the supplier/seller must know for certain and at all times how the fireworks have been handled, stored, and if they have been altered or affected in any way that might present a danger to the end user. It is in the interest of public safety that we are unable to resell or redistribute fireworks. No returns or exchanges are permitted. All sales are final.
