*More containers FOR 1.4 product. New containers come in and it starts going out pretty quickly, so no they are not sitting on containers filled with product. Wanted to clarify since I made it sound like those 1.4 containers were full.
This is my go to wholesale company. They have really good prices, a clean professional website, and very reasonable shipping rates. Glad someone else has mentioned Sabrina. She helped me navigate the path to get certified to purchase 1.4 pro last year during the worst of the covid shut down. Seriously never would have done it without her. She's really amazing. I don't have a lot of online wholesale purchase experience, but if there's anyone better than these folks I'd be surprised.
I tried this place out, after watching your video...bought an order online, picked it up...checked out the store, spent another $200 inside their store...came back 3 days later, and spent another $250! Way better than Phantom, and everyone was friendly...especially Katy and the fellow with glasses!
good local company... met Sabrina during the PGI course this year, and an absolute delight to work with... helped me navigate to get to order 1.4S pro items.....
Totally agree! Sabrina and I have been friends for quite the years, before she worked at American. I have two pallets coming from American tomorrow as well!
I love American Wholesale! And a wholesaler that lets you buy one off products to test before you buy a case is outstanding! They always ship fast well too, and their packers must be Tetris masters!!! That is a nice setup they have.
Absolutely! And they will hold the order if you want to continue to add product as more becomes available. Nothing but positive words from me regarding American Wholesale.
Looks like they’ve got one hell of a property! I had the pleasure of meeting Sabrina at a Carolina Pyros meet down in south Carolina. They’ve got some great product and she is one of the nicest ladies in the pyro industry!
I had a change of heart ... This was my first year shopping online with these folks and was very happy with their pricing and delivery time. I left a comment 10 months ago regarding their 1.4 selection being crap, but they've significantly improved their inventory since then.👍💥
@@sabrinanickelsPyrOHQueen You're quite welcome. Most assured that I'll return again to shop for next years 4th of July. By the way, I've heard nothing but high praise from other customers in regard to the way you handle customer service 👍💥
I just began ordering wholesale from American this past June, we went to the retail building over 15 times this year too! The wholesale prices are great, just wish they had more items on the site. I got addicted to them bad this year!
Really liking these types of videos mixed in with your demo videos. Keep it up! I’d love to see some purchasing strategy videos for wholesale and retail. Budget options, too. Might be a pretty big ask for how inventories have shaped up this year.
I do have a few more shopping trip videos planning on both retail and wholesale! I know some people will not like the upcoming retail one, but I have a plan to the madness!
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics product demos will always have a place on CZcams, and I use them for timing year over year. But helpful and thoughtful content is very hard to find with a lot of channels opting for “entertainment”. I thank you for the variety and for the thought process.
Great video, they are my go to know that certain companies raised there prices so high. The last clip , u can see my small pickup (4th in total) next to Sabrina with the single box of tannerite shells on top.
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics Yep , picked it up Wednesday. Also 2 of the 4 cases that I picked up that day are already sold out( just ordered last sunday), just to give you an idea on how fast it's moving out . Been doing 4-6 case orders at a time , cause if you wait you won't get it.
I'm confused maybe someone can help me out. There's American fireworks and American wholesale fireworks. Both in the same place with the same parking lot. But the websites are two different companies with extremely different items and pricing. Even with the BOGO pricing for the retail store the prices a still way lower for wholesale. If someone (like me) who lives in Ohio that doesnt have to worry about shipping, why would one bother with the retail store? Because if you live far you are going to use the wholesale store online. And if you live close you are going to use the wholesale store and pick it up yourself. Why would anyone who lives close bother with the retail store at all for higher prices? Same with the retail online store. 260$ for tannerite shell kit vs wholesale $105. Even at retail BOGO its $130. This has to be two different companies just sharing the same parking lot
It is technically two different companies, however, they are owned by the same people. They do have a wholesale minimum, so anyone not spending more than $500 would be going to the retail store. Anyone over $500, I think is more of an educational thing. If you were not aware that you could buy wholesale, you'd probably still buy retail.
Good post, I've noticed this as well. The retail store is basically the same price as phantom, which is not a good thing...the wholesale store has really good prices, but I'm not sure if I can even order as I'm in state as well...I'm a call them and try to figure something out...but good observation nonetheless
Joel wonderful job on the virtual tour!! I wish the staff would have explained how the wholesale process worked !! I did ask and 1 associate said I had to fill out paperwork and signed up? Weird never had to do that at the other store I mentioned that I frequent, do u do video tours at other stores?
Thank you! I can see if I can get more information on that for you. I'm pretty tight with Sabrina. For 1.4, you should be able to just create an account online. If you were looking for pro line or 1.3, you would need to call them to verify your qualifications for those categories.
They are different classifications of fireworks and yes they are intended for professionals. 1.3 is professional grade fireworks and you need an ATF Type 54 to buy. The 1.4 Pro though is easier to get, while it's still designed for professionals, you do not need a specific government license to buy it. Most places accept some form of training certificate in order to purchase 1.4 pro.
1.3G you need a type 54 and storage for. 1.4 pro is mainly meant for electric lighting and requires a little more skill to use safely. Requirements to buy 1.4 pro may vary from vendor to vendor but most will accept the Display Operator’s Course. The course is available at some demos and clubs.
Do you mean this year or in general? This year a container comes in and starts going out of stock quite fast. Normally they have quite the variety of brands on hand.

Amazing video footage and information as always! Thank you Joel.
Thank you for the compliment and for watching!
Great Video Joel!! Thanks for the behind the Scenes
Thanks for watching Rob!
I love this company. Thank you for sharing this cool video.
Thanks for watching!
Sabrina is always on point. Always a delight to work with her.
Awesome video!! It's always cool seeing a warehouse video of fireworks.
Joel, loved the inside look!! Your videos just keep getting better ! Would love to go to that show of that large wholesale order !
Thank you! Lol, right!? I just hope that customer sees this and drops an invite haha
Awsome video
SABRINA *ROCKS!!!*
It's like pyro playland. Lol. Pretty big compound
Very cool and great people
Great video!
cool, enjoyed this behind the scenes tour. they carry some good stuff, no shortage of good stuff out back. these are the vids i love
I'm glad you enjoyed!
Tank you Joel
Sabrina! Legend!
I've ordered from them a few times and always wondered what the property looked like
Boom in the sky How long was shipping If u don't mind me asking?
Sabrina is awesome, she helped me get my account set up with them
Same here
Came to comment how awesome Sabrina is and everyone already knows!
Definitely, same here
I just began ordering wholesale from American this past June, we went to the retail building over 15 times this year too! The wholesale prices are great, just wish they had more items on the site. I got addicted to them bad this year!
Yeah, this year was definitely weird for their website. Hopefully next year will look better!
Loved that video. Do more please!
I'm happy to hear that and I'll see what I can do!
awesome video man thank u

I noticed that when I was there too. Tis legit

Can it ship in Maui?
What’s the difference between the 1.3G and 1.4 pro fireworks? I’m guessing you can’t buy them unless you are a professional?

@@andrewgregory5346 Thanks!
@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics Is 1.4 pro another name for Articles of Pyrotechnic? Are they one in the same?
I love American Wholesale Fireworks prices, but their consumer 1.4G selection is crap. Just sayin'.

@@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics I hadn't heard of them until this year. My regular go to source is OC.
The whole industry is struggling with a messed up supply chain and increased shipping costs from China due to COVID.
Their consumer prices are ridiculous! I have no problem driving a few hours to get a decent price. $269 for a 24 pack of Growlers?! Insane!!
@@robrhodes8549 No, you need to print the coupon from their site. I paid $110 for Growlers this year.
