Captain Boom Fireworks — Local services in Bloomingdale Township

Don’t waste your time. The selection is incredibly small and the prices are very high. There are a lot better places to go.

In addition the owner isn’t great. As soon as I walked in the door he complained to me about having to sweep the floor as an owner while shaming the two people working there that were busy doing stuff. He also was talking down to his wife about running out of receipt paper because he didn’t know how to tell when it was getting low. Just gross behavior. He wasn’t at all interested in talked to me about the fireworks he had after 2 seconds.

He buys wholesale from Wolverine, Victory, and RKM and so can you. I would highly recommend spending your hard earned dollars elsewhere. There is no reason to pay this jerk 2-3x cost.

Responding to owners reply:

I'm not a competitor. I came to your store to buy a specific item for a show that I didn't have time to buy beforehand. That doesn't mean I like your prices or selection. You caught me in a pinch and that was the only reason I was willing to pay your ridiculous price.

I always think its so funny when bullies get called out on their bad behavior and go "BuT i WaS jUsT JoKiNg!!!".

I was aware there was some government official in your store by the unmarked Ford Explorer with dash mounted laptop in the parking lot when I arrived. It was just him, me, and the staff in the store. You were not pressed for time as you had just opened. He even told you to go talk to me and that he wasn't in a hurry. Your other staff didn't come to answer any questions nor did you hand me off to them either.

Either you were lying to the fire marshal about who your suppliers or are lying in your reply. Which is it? Either you buy from distributors or import directly. It doesn't matter because the general public can buy the products you are selling directly from the distributors I mentioned above at way better prices. If you had a reasonable mark up I wouldn't even mention it but you are charging huge markups that other stores are not. No need to eavesdrop. Your store is incredibly small so everyone can hear everything.

I do know how the fireworks industry works. That's why I wrote this review. There are so many better mom and pop fireworks stores that are better than yours. Better selection, better prices....

The boys in my family absolutely love the 4th of July! With that being said, we normally purchase our fireworks from multiple sources every year. The Reservation for the big enders and local firework stands for the little fun stuff. This year, we decided to purchase our big haul all online. We were a bit apprehensive, but due to the amount we planned to spend, the shipping was free. Worth a try and so glad we did! We decided to order from Captain Boom Fireworks because of their wide selection and great prices. Moreover, the first time we called them with questions, we were able to talk to a person very quickly. We spoke to Janet who was nice and helpful! This was reassuring since that is not the case with most online retailers. Within a couple of days after we placed our order, we received tracking information. Janet even followed up with us to ensure the next steps to set up the freight service was done properly. When we received the packages via Fedex Freight days later, we couldn't believe how nice everything was securely packaged and organized. Great attention to detail. Also, received some extra freebie bags. Overall, our experience with Captain Boom Fireworks from start to finish was beyond exceptional. If you are thinking about placing an order with them, do it! You...

Being a First time buyer ONLINE , I was REAL Hesitant in placing a order because I have Never ordered Fireworks online. Especially with the amount of money I was Spending. So I called the phone number on the website and I ended up talking to the Owner Andy who talked to me and explained Everything to me for 30 minutes or so. Andy, then explained to me the online line order process along with the shipping, handling and receiving. He then insured me how SAFE EVERYTHING WAS. I have to say, Andy was VERY professional so l placed my large Order and Everything went as Andy Said. So when I received my shipment and opened up all 5 of the boxes, I was very impressed how EVERYTHING was packed in the box so professionally and wrapped in plastic. I also was impressed while the shipment was in the process, how Andy and his Wife Janet helped me and made Everything So Easy. I Highly Recommend Captain Boom💥 This was the Most HELPFUL, BEST PRICED WITH A AWESOME SELECTION, HIGHLY PROFESSION FIRE WORK Shop in the country that I could have ordered From !!! Special Thanks to Andy and Janet for Everything ! From now and on I won't shop ANYWHERE ELSE but at CAPTAIN BOOM !!!! Captain Boom is # 1 in Fire Work Sales....
