How much does a fireworks show cost?

All of our fireworks shows are made to order for our customers – that means you get to decide the budget. We’ll partner with you to design the display you want that gives you the most bang for your buck.

Are fireworks shows safe?

Yes – when handled correctly. Everyone who handles fireworks at RES Pyro is professionally trained and licensed. Our key team members each have 30+ years of experience conducting displays. We also use the best, safest and most reliable equipment on the market today.

Do I need a permit to have a fireworks show at my event?

Yes, but we’ve got you covered. RES Pyro displays include all materials, equipment, certified display operators, necessary permits and $5 million liability insurance.

Can I buy fireworks from RES Pyro and shoot them myself?

Products sold by RES Pyro are for professional use only and are not for sale to the general public. We do not sell Consumer Fireworks that you would buy for your backyard display on July 4th. If you don’t have a local/State/Federal license(s) you will not be able to purchase our products. However, we would be happy to facilitate a fireworks show for you. Request information or give us a call today.

Use

Most jurisdictions require a permit for the use of proximate pyrotechnics, usually issued or approved through the local fire marshal. In addition, most jurisdictions follow the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1126: Standard for the Use of Pyrotechnics Before a Proximate Audience and/or may have additional rules that apply.

Safety

Important safety guidelines is contained in our Read Me First informational document (pdf). A printed copy of this document is included with each shipment.

Domestic Shipping

Our standard method of shipping is via Federal Express (FedEx) Ground service.  This is the most economical route if there is no urgency and usually proves to be the most reliable for domestic shipments.

If overnight delivery is required, we can also ship FedEx Express.  Please note that Fed Ex does not guarantee overnight delivery of explosives shipments.  Also, we can only mark packages for Saturday delivery when they are shipped on a Friday per FedEx policy.

International Shipping

International Shipments are usually shipped via Federal Express International Service, referred to as IXF, Express Freight.  FedEx will sometimes put embargoes in place for various reasons, usually to control shipping volume to certain destinations.  When this happens, FedEx will only accept shipments as International Priority 1 (IP-1).  This can cause the shipping costs to be 3 times or more than rates charged for IXF.

If an international destination is not serviced by FedEx we do have other carriers that are available.  Please contact us with you needs.

If you have an account with FedEx, we can arrange for shipping charges to be billed to your account.
