A few things to note! 1) It is past the shipping deadline to get product before July 4th. However, I'm told there are more containers arriving in July for anyone look to buy for Labor day or NYE. 2) Pricing might be different than what you see on my account due to volume discounts. More information on that can be found under the 'Bulk Discounts' tab on their website.
Wow just by the thumbnail w/o having to see ur video yet, I can tell that there is a very sweet issue/stash/amount of fireworks 👌👍🤙🙂!!!!! But also thank you so much for explaining the how to... for online an or timeline to work for ones favor!
It's important to note, you have to be able to accept a truck delivery. Otherwise, you'll need to pickup from the truck depot. Which will effect the shipping cost. And they usually call you to confirm.
Bought my show through them before Easter. Supply is crazy this year, in that most of my order has been out of stock since about a week after it shipped. Due to low trees on my residential street, the FedEx driver couldn't get to my house. Bought him some Gatorade and met him a mile away. Got to talk to Sabrina and John a few times, so 10/10, will buy from them again.
This was my first year doing wholesale. I found a wholesaler an hour away from me with a $100 minimum and they sell by case or piece. Being that close, I can save the shipping and just pick up my order. I will definitely be ordering from then again next year. They saved me 40-50% off retail.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics I first thought it seemed to good to be true, but since they have a pay cash at pickup option I gave them a try. They're legit. I just picked up my second order from them 2 weeks ago. Their inventory is pretty depleted right now though, about a 10th of what they had 2 months ago.
Fun video Joel. I live in OH and AWF is about a 2 hour drive for me - which is nice because the minimum $ amount for a pick-up order is just $200. Shipping in/into OH is not allowed per State law (largely to protect Phantom Fireworks' pricing from outside mail order competition but also some safety issues). I tend to split my pyro spending between both Phantom and AWF. At least in OH, you can do some real damage at Phantom if you target some of their email coupon sales - which are fairly common here and take off as much as 70%. That said, AWF is my "go to" seller. Great people to work with and superb customer service. Also, subscribe to their email list. They tend to run alot of coupon code sales from fall to spring with order discounts ranging from 10-20% off their already great pricing.
Love the video Joel! Longtime fan. Just quickly made an account on American Wholesale to compare some prices and looks like inventory and pricing may have changed considerably since you filmed. For comparison, a case of laser lemon is showing $111.50 for me while it looks like you snagged them for $71.36 :') Granted it's super late into the season and everything's wonky this year
Thank you! Oh even just recording the video to checkout several things went out of stock, so that doesn't surprise me there. The pricing is likely because of their bulk discount structure as well as when you buy. Generally speaking, it's better to buy in the Winter months for maximum discounts (goes for just about any wholesaler)! americanwholesalefireworks.com/vip-bulk-discounts/
I live in SC, but have been purchasing from AWF for the past few years. They simply offer a great selection, prices are FANTASTIC (when you move up tiers), and never an issue with my orders.
@@thunderbomb515 I was wondering where I could get the fireworks shipped to me? It's only legal in the city next to me and I don't own a business there or have a residence to be delivered to.
I went to their website 4 days after this video was posted and the prices you show in the video are half the price I see on the website. Why is your pricing so much cheaper.
That's not possible. I don't think any shipping company will accept anything thats flammable or explosive, even USPS don't. The only way to get fireworks is to drive out of state and get them. A lot of Californians drive out to NV, AZ, and even Mexico to get the good fireworks. But I may warn you that it's still a bit risky cuz cops are on the lookout for smugglers.
I bought a case of the critical acclaim this year, I shot off a sleeve of 8. The first 4 all seemed to be comet with a little mine effect on a couple. The final three numbered 6-8 were more of a strictly mine effect.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics he was talking about CipherCraft, his last upload was 8 months ago. He got caught up in some legal stuff. look on his community page)
They're going to be getting a lot more business from Washington State in the future. Last New years I got a kit of Vibraniums from a stand on the Rez and it was $90. Know what they're charging now? $250. Excal Platinums $200. Regular excals $150. Even with the shipping it's cheaper to order from American. Good call on the Waterfall.
In my opinion for 2021, a good retail price on shell kits is $100 or less. Just about everywhere has their prices up. But, there are still some places that are still rocking 2020 prices like the Firework Superstore still has Excals for $60 retail.
There are a lot of those options out there. I'm going to explore some more options and hopefully have more videos like this one in the future. I do really like ordering from American though, especially when they still have inventory and you can get a wide selection of consumer product, plus pro line.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics so with American i have to spend 500 in order for them to ship to me right? I woukd like to have my fireworks delivered to my house instead of going into the store and have to deal with those long lines
@@sabrinanickelsPyrOHQueen do they really bring a pallet to your front door when they deliver the things? So are y'all open year round or everyday cause we will get it together
@@kenyattapowell2212 There is the option for home delivery based on what state you live in. It does cost more to have it delivered to a residence. Your neighborhood needs to be easy for a Semi Truck to get in and out of also. Most people ship to a business or pick up at a local freight terminal to avoid the extra costs.
I was wondering where I could get the fireworks shipped to me? It's only legal in the city next to me and I don't own a business there or have a residence to be delivered to.
I'm fortunate enough to only live 3 hours away from the fireworks superstore in Hannibal, MO I love making the yearly drive out there for the 4th of July. Not exactly wholesale but much better pricing than the local tents here in KC plus a massive selection of literally everything and a clearance section bigger than some of the tents here.
Oh yeah, I feel you there! His prices are not too far over wholesale anyway and you just have such a massive assortment of product it's wild. I'm within 2 hours of the store also.
It’s a great option usually, but the place I ordered from before the 4th this year is considerably higher now. I was hoping more containers arriving with less demand after the 4th would drop prices, but apparently companies are still struggling to get product. This is a bad time for us junkies.
I got a bunch from a few different states on my way back up to NY from Florida, the place we stopped at in South Carolina had the best selection. I'm thinking about flying down there next year and renting a car and drive back with a bunch of good stuff.
prices then: water fall $30.56 Growler $72 Excalibur $61.26 tannerite $67.20. Prices seven months later: water fall $62.25 growler $112.25 excalibur $96.25 tannerite $105. Unbelievable. And to think the 2021 prices were high from the years before
I'm guessing you're looking at the lowest pricing tier. If you have an account, email Sabrina@americanwholesalefireworks.com, mention this video and ask for the Robinson discount.
Yeah, it's really not bad especially when you're already dropping over 1k. You can fit a ton on one pallet, so I could have probably ordered up to 3k for the same shipping rate. I'm hoping to get in on some group buys in the future so that we can just split any of those costs as well.
Hey Joel I love you videos you inspire me to buy lots of fireworks every year and make a fireworks list so I just want to say thank you Joel love you vids
It looks like you have a 36% discount. What requirements must be met to achieve that discount- it’s beyond platinum, which is 20%. Keep up the great work, subscribed!
One time a guy was closing his firework store and sumhow he actually ship sum bottle rockets firecrackers and sum other Ariel fireworks ship to my house in California idk how was able to do it tbh
This video made me chuckle. These are not wholesale. In some cases, they charge more than common resale depending on your local market. I am an actual fireworks retailer in Texas. If you want REAL wholesale prices you will need a few relatively simple things to get started. Often there is 500-1000 minimum purchase requirements. Maybe Ill make a video on how I supply my locations with products.
Hey Joel were can I buy online salute shells or rockets.i live in vegas and none out in Pahrump navada and it sucks..plz let me know.love your channel bro
I'm not aware of any online wholesalers that sell OLs or salutes. Most people do not advertise them like that if they do have them. Wish I could be more help!
You can't ship to certain states, which you can find their list here: americanwholesalefireworks.com/we-ship/ I do not believe there is a limit to each purchase, but that might be a good idea to ask them as well. I went to their facility in another video: th-cam.com/video/xzbnkRUIczo/w-d-xo.html, and there were some crazy large wholesale orders!
We limited a bunch of items right before the 4th. We have removed the limits for most of the items depending on the inventory. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks!
I wanted to note just for peace of mind. If you plan on a stash like this. Please please please invest in a good shed or something outside. So if something happens your home insurance won't give you any smoke!
@David Hammett Bada Boom, Thunder King, and Overstock Central also offer free shipping to your door for purchases that are $500 dollars or more. All three also offer the By The Piece option. Let me think. There's another distributor that offers the same ... That's it !!! Fireworks Plus.
@@ReneeNme All of those are great options to look into, but sometimes when places offer deals like free shipping, their unit price is higher to account for it, so just check that too.
@Joel Robinson do you think I could still order those type of fireworks I’m from LA do those are illegal over here, but to sum this up can I still order?
You ain't kidding when you said the price on Excalibur went up. Got the platinum kit and the growler kit yesterday $99.88 each with tax was like $237 bucks. Pricy but still couldn't say no to Excalibur platinums and growlers. Both awesome 5" canister shells with hdpe tubes
Question: how do u light yours ?? I'm new to this online buying and I've seen in some bundles from red apple it comes with a ignitor deal. What's up!!??
I do all of my shows electronically with COBRA Firing Systems. There are much cheaper options out there too though. I did a video recently on the IGNITE system that you might be interested in. th-cam.com/video/dmSGeGnRpYw/w-d-xo.html
Do you get cheaper prices if you purchase more/ have purchased from the website before? I noticed your listed prices are lower than the ones I'm seeing.
Correct, there are price break tiers. If you have created an account, you can email sabrina@americanwholesalefireworks.com and ask for the Robinson discount and mention this video. She will put you into a higher discount tier.
I buy from red apple,overstock central fireworks,captain boom,they all offer shipping deals,red Apple dosent have free shipping but does a deal when you buy 1000$ worth of fireworks.
Yeah most have their own way of trying to get you to spend a bit more in order to get some additional perks. Early bird deals are where it's at (like Jan-Feb wholesale).
I bought in mid may,prices were nice. I heard there was a nation wide shortage due to shipping delays,I also heard there is a new 7 inch canister shell out
@@youtubefireworks You made a good decision buying early as there is definitely a shortage. Yeah I saw at least two vendors with a 7". One was just a double break and I'm not sure about the other.
This website will sell throughout the year and does ship to Texas. You might want to check your local laws to see what they allow as I know it can vary depending on where you are at and the time of the year.
Only way I get the big stuff is either driving to Erie Pennsylvania or going to the reservation that's ten minutes from me ,lol. Because I live in n .y.
First thanks for the info. So my question is why are all the prices different from what you were showing for the same product? I set up an account today and prices were from 38-50% higher
I can understand that. Not sure what you have to spend to get there. I get wholesale pricing from another company. I walked in the door and spent 1k + and got their best pricing. Over the last 4 year's we average several thousand a year..
The price difference could be part of their volume discount program. Keep an eye out on their website as they will run promotions from time to time. Normally a lot of the wholesalers have early bird deals in like Jan-Feb.
Is their online selection absolutely garbage simply because they are “out of stock” of pretty much everything? Or they always have a horrible selection?
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics thank you. Wish they still showed the out of stock items so new people could get a better feel for what they normally stock. Thank you for the reply tho.
Fireworks can definitely be imported from China, however, you have to purchase an entire container and most places don't give you much of a variety. For example, depending on what you are ordering, containers hold 750-1000 cases of product. Some suppliers we get 10 different items for that, there are a few suppliers that will allow us smaller case counts for more of a variety. Now you have to pay for shipping that container. Currently shipping is at $40K and they want that upfront. Also, they want 20% off the product paid for upfront too, then the next 30% when it hits the water and the last 50% when it hits your door step. Now if there are any hang ups at all at the docks state side, there will be extra fee's associated, and this happens often! So yes, it can be done but it's costly if you are trying to do it personally.
Little off topic, but where I live we can only buy fireworks on the 3rd and 4th, do you think these tents will experience a shortage, like some of the other stores?
That depends on how much supplies they got in advance. I would think they would have a shortage, but depending on the supplier, they might have accounted for your state already.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics Just have to wait, as far as I know there's no way of knowing until the 3rd and 4th comes around. Thanks for the response, keep up the great work
Do you need a wholesales permit or license in order to buy this way or just buy online. Not sure how the discounts work so that's why I ask. Want to buy some item just for person use with the kids so need to know it this is the way to go and how to go about it... Thanks in advance for whatever help.mm
You do not need any license to buy wholesale. If you were looking for 1.4 Pro or 1.3 you would need additional license/certifications. As long as you can ship the product to your location, you can order online. I always recommend checking your local laws too. If you cannot ship to your home, you can also ship to a local distribution center and pick up from there.
A few things to note!
1) It is past the shipping deadline to get product before July 4th. However, I'm told there are more containers arriving in July for anyone look to buy for Labor day or NYE.

You are correct. A Business or a Terminal is cheaper than Residential.
Do you need license?
This takes all the fun out of fireworks shopping, and looking at all the different types of fireworks at stores, and tents.
Not for me. I order online, then go pick it all up and also shop in the retail store while I'm there.

Hey Joel I love you videos you inspire me to buy lots of fireworks every year and make a fireworks list so I just want to say thank you Joel love you vids
I appreciate that! I'm glad to hear you enjoy the videos as well!
Thx so much this is the first time I ever got a comment from someone and you are my fav youtuber
@@vo1dclappedu723 No way, really? Well I amhappy to have you here, so I try to respond to as many comments as much as I can!

Those aren’t wholesale prices.
Where do you shop at Eric?
Hi Tyler! I look forward to working with you next year! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks! Sabrina
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics They never answer do they?
I loved this video so good to see you again Joel.
Thank you!
Will they ship to Chicago? I'll wait for next July and drop $1,000
only 1,000?
Americanwholesalefireworks is the BEST online site right now if you ask me 💯👍🏾💥
Watching this while living in California 😔
same lol.
Go to reno and have it shipped to the surrounding area where it's legal pick it up from there and do what u gotta do from there
@@40ozbeerbellydude how would I bring it to California
@@40ozbeerbellydude probably cheaper to go to pahrump
Same in ohio
We can’t do this in Oregon...
Good score on fireworks thanks very much for the how to information. Keep it coming 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you, will do!
Thanks bro been watching for years love the videos
Thank you! Happy to have you around all these years.
I see that all the prices are discounted, when do those discounts usually come around
Bad ass Video
Why are the prices super high now that I logged in 🤔
Bulk Discounts: americanwholesalefireworks.com/vip-bulk-discounts/
anyone know if they are able to ship to North Carolina?
They do! All the states they do not ship to are listed on their website under "We Ship"
It looks like you have a 36% discount. What requirements must be met to achieve that discount- it’s beyond platinum, which is 20%. Keep up the great work, subscribed!
Normally they have all the levels listed but this is crazy. Hopefully stuff returns to normal for next year.
This year
Spend $$$.
One time a guy was closing his firework store and sumhow he actually ship sum bottle rockets firecrackers and sum other Ariel fireworks ship to my house in California idk how was able to do it tbh
They don't check every package, so a small package like that could easily make it. Not saying you should do that, but that does make sense.
This video made me chuckle. These are not wholesale. In some cases, they charge more than common resale depending on your local market. I am an actual fireworks retailer in Texas. If you want REAL wholesale prices you will need a few relatively simple things to get started. Often there is 500-1000 minimum purchase requirements. Maybe Ill make a video on how I supply my locations with products.
I'd love to hear more! Throw out some comparison numbers for us to look at.
I'm all in an ready to spend for next year
Hey Joel were can I buy online salute shells or rockets.i live in vegas and none out in Pahrump navada and it sucks..plz let me know.love your channel bro
I'm not aware of any online wholesalers that sell OLs or salutes. Most people do not advertise them like that if they do have them. Wish I could be more help!
Do these very depending on your state? And is there a gram limit to each purchase? Love the videos man!
You can't ship to certain states, which you can find their list here: americanwholesalefireworks.com/we-ship/
I do not believe there is a limit to each purchase, but that might be a good idea to ask them as well. I went to their facility in another video: th-cam.com/video/xzbnkRUIczo/w-d-xo.html, and there were some crazy large wholesale orders!
We limited a bunch of items right before the 4th. We have removed the limits for most of the items depending on the inventory. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks!
@@sabrinanickelsPyrOHQueen Can you explain $527 for shipping for 2 case of Excalibur?
I wanted to note just for peace of mind. If you plan on a stash like this. Please please please invest in a good shed or something outside. So if something happens your home insurance won't give you any smoke!
Wow, all the wholesalers I was researching were about a $1500 minimum. So this is only $500?
Yep, that is correct! I only spent $1250 (including shipping) in this video.
@David Hammett Bada Boom, Thunder King, and Overstock Central also offer free shipping to your door for purchases that are $500 dollars or more. All three also offer the By The Piece option. Let me think. There's another distributor that offers the same ... That's it !!! Fireworks Plus.
@@ReneeNme All of those are great options to look into, but sometimes when places offer deals like free shipping, their unit price is higher to account for it, so just check that too.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics Yep. Shop and compare.
American wholesale is great but I have to drive 4.5 hours to pick up lol
That's not terrible! I am much further away so it's more cost effective for them to ship to me.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics Ohio they won't ship to you lol
@@davidrogers-jz1wt Oh you mean ship within Ohio lol. Isn't that hilarious.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics yea I can buy take home but within Ohio they can't ship to the door lol
@@davidrogers-jz1wt Silly laws! I find that hysterical!
How come I’m not seeing the discounts?
americanwholesalefireworks.com/vip-bulk-discounts/
@Joel Robinson do you think I could still order those type of fireworks I’m from LA do those are illegal over here, but to sum this up can I still order?
They won’t deliver
Unfortunately, no wholesaler ships to California.
Love the video but what other sites do you recommend
I haven't ordered from a ton of places yet, but I really do like the whole process with American.
You ain't kidding when you said the price on Excalibur went up. Got the platinum kit and the growler kit yesterday $99.88 each with tax was like $237 bucks. Pricy but still couldn't say no to Excalibur platinums and growlers. Both awesome 5" canister shells with hdpe tubes
Right! Honestly If shell kits continue to increase, I'll stop using them altogether in my shows.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics I hear ya dude. I dont do shows.....just play time.
Those prices 🙌 love these kind of firework videos
Glad to hear that!
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics I went on the site today just to see the prices lol 🤦♂️
Nice you made it look easy
It is!
this is a very awesome video and i love the fireworks u got lots of good stuff
Thank you Elliott!
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics your welcome
Question: how do u light yours ?? I'm new to this online buying and I've seen in some bundles from red apple it comes with a ignitor deal. What's up!!??
I do all of my shows electronically with COBRA Firing Systems. There are much cheaper options out there too though. I did a video recently on the IGNITE system that you might be interested in. th-cam.com/video/dmSGeGnRpYw/w-d-xo.html
I want everything really loud so you said the most i can buy is 500?
Do you get cheaper prices if you purchase more/ have purchased from the website before? I noticed your listed prices are lower than the ones I'm seeing.
Correct, there are price break tiers. If you have created an account, you can email sabrina@americanwholesalefireworks.com and ask for the Robinson discount and mention this video. She will put you into a higher discount tier.
Hi I'm been trying to get my ATF license but no help and they don't ship to Memphis Tn
We are now set up to ship to TN. Please reach out to the office with any questions. :) 330-650-1776
Wish I would have see this 2 days ago. My mom n pop shop closed up after the old man passed and had to find a new place.
I'll never buy from a tent again! Cheers mate
Once you start buying wholesale, it's hard to buy retail lol
I buy from red apple,overstock central fireworks,captain boom,they all offer shipping deals,red Apple dosent have free shipping but does a deal when you buy 1000$ worth of fireworks.
Yeah most have their own way of trying to get you to spend a bit more in order to get some additional perks. Early bird deals are where it's at (like Jan-Feb wholesale).
I bought in mid may,prices were nice. I heard there was a nation wide shortage due to shipping delays,I also heard there is a new 7 inch canister shell out
@@youtubefireworks You made a good decision buying early as there is definitely a shortage. Yeah I saw at least two vendors with a 7". One was just a double break and I'm not sure about the other.
I'm live in Texas and I just came across your videos. Would you know if I need some type of permite to buy? And can I buy throughout the year?
This website will sell throughout the year and does ship to Texas. You might want to check your local laws to see what they allow as I know it can vary depending on where you are at and the time of the year.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics thank you very much
They charge 239 for Excalibur in Americans instore shop
Wish I did this earlier! 24 kits of excalibur are going three to $400 right now in Washington
OMG! That is the highest I have heard so far. That sucks man
That's around the price for a single unit here in Hawaii
Only way I get the big stuff is either driving to Erie Pennsylvania or going to the reservation that's ten minutes from me ,lol. Because I live in n .y.
I used to feel your pain! At least you have options close!
Im in NY.. which reservation do you go to??
First thanks for the info. So my question is why are all the prices different from what you were showing for the same product? I set up an account today and prices were from 38-50% higher
Joel is in our highest discount tier. :) americanwholesalefireworks.com/vip-bulk-discounts/
I can understand that. Not sure what you have to spend to get there. I get wholesale pricing from another company. I walked in the door and spent 1k + and got their best pricing. Over the last 4 year's we average several thousand a year..
@@andrewrogers3694 We have Tiers at $1,000, $2,000, $3,000, & $5,000 and they are lifetime tiers and accumulate each purchase.
@@andrewrogers3694 what company might I ask?
Prices are way higher right now than the video more interested for next year do prices go back down after the 4th for the website?
The price difference could be part of their volume discount program. Keep an eye out on their website as they will run promotions from time to time. Normally a lot of the wholesalers have early bird deals in like Jan-Feb.
Will they ship to Los and
Watching this in San Bernardino
Is their online selection absolutely garbage simply because they are “out of stock” of pretty much everything? Or they always have a horrible selection?
It's because they are out of stock.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics thank you. Wish they still showed the out of stock items so new people could get a better feel for what they normally stock. Thank you for the reply tho.
Can fireworks be imported from China? or is there a bunch of rules associated with this, thanks.
Fireworks can definitely be imported from China, however, you have to purchase an entire container and most places don't give you much of a variety. For example, depending on what you are ordering, containers hold 750-1000 cases of product. Some suppliers we get 10 different items for that, there are a few suppliers that will allow us smaller case counts for more of a variety. Now you have to pay for shipping that container. Currently shipping is at $40K and they want that upfront. Also, they want 20% off the product paid for upfront too, then the next 30% when it hits the water and the last 50% when it hits your door step. Now if there are any hang ups at all at the docks state side, there will be extra fee's associated, and this happens often! So yes, it can be done but it's costly if you are trying to do it personally.
The strong man
Do you need a hazmat cert?
I always recommend checking your state laws. You do not need anything in my state to receive hazmat and consumer fireworks.
Little off topic, but where I live we can only buy fireworks on the 3rd and 4th, do you think these tents will experience a shortage, like some of the other stores?
That depends on how much supplies they got in advance. I would think they would have a shortage, but depending on the supplier, they might have accounted for your state already.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics Just have to wait, as far as I know there's no way of knowing until the 3rd and 4th comes around. Thanks for the response, keep up the great work
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics 👍
I will check the site out, what states won't they ship to? Does it have to be legal in that said state?
They have a list of states they can't ship to here: americanwholesalefireworks.com/we-ship/
Interesting good to hear website online
Do you need a wholesales permit or license in order to buy this way or just buy online. Not sure how the discounts work so that's why I ask. Want to buy some item just for person use with the kids so need to know it this is the way to go and how to go about it...
Thanks in advance for whatever help.mm
You do not need any license to buy wholesale. If you were looking for 1.4 Pro or 1.3 you would need additional license/certifications. As long as you can ship the product to your location, you can order online. I always recommend checking your local laws too. If you cannot ship to your home, you can also ship to a local distribution center and pick up from there.
Just signed up but I don’t see those prices on that website
Check out their bulk discounts tab.
Will they deliver to texas
Yes we will!
What if I wanted it shipped to CA ? is that legal ?
lmk if you find out I stay In Riverside CA and cant get any good stuff 😪
Unfortunately, no you cannot legally ship to Cali.
I live in California, I can't even party poppers shipped to my door.
It's a real shame isn't it!
Cali and Mass are terrible
