Why is delivery so expensive?

We would like to remind you that fireworks are classed as explosives and therefore cost a bit more to ship compared to other popular goods like clothes, books etc.
Fireworks require specialist couriers who hold a special license to be able to do this and charge extra for handling hazardous goods like Fireworks. The further away from our Distribution center (in Heathrow, Middlesex) you are the higher the cost.
We do try to subside as much of these costs as possible but can only do this so much. We hope you understand.
