Collectively, Liuyang factories produce more than half of all consumer fireworks for the US market.\u00a0 This disruption will cause industry-wide supply shortages in early 2020.\u00a0 Because of these delays, we wanted to give you a quick update about how this will affect product selection and availability heading into the spring fireworks season.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, the Liuyang factories don\u2019t have a definitive opening date.\u00a0 They expect to resume production sometime in February after Chinese New Year. Though we currently have a few scheduled shipments, selection and availability during the next few months will still be a challenge. There is uncertainty about when factories will reopen, how quickly they can work through their backlogs, and when new shipments can be scheduled.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you need to know as you prepare your carts and plan your shows.<\/p>\n<h2>Take advantage of our pre-order items<\/h2>\n<p>This season, we will only offer products for sale\u00a0that have already been produced \u2013 we won\u2019t offer pre-orders based on future production plans. Fireworks that were completed before the shutdown, or produced in other parts of China,\u00a0will be available during our upcoming Early Ship Sale. These items are already in stock or will arrive by early March.<\/p>\n<h2>Shopping early is a must this season<\/h2>\n<p>This season, it&#8217;s more important than ever to order as early as possible this for the best chance of getting exactly what you want.
