Rising fireworks prices: How much do New Year's fans have to pay?

The New Year's Eve preparations are in full swing! As early as December 28th, fireworks lovers in Germany are allowed to buy their rockets and bangs. The Supermarkets Aldi, Lidl and Kaufland will open the sale this year a day earlier than usual because the regular start of sales falls on a Sunday. This means that the shelves will be filled quickly, because the demand is enormous, especially after the past two years of bottlenecks, such as berlin-Live.de reports.

But buyers have to prepare for rising prices. According to the main supplier WECO, the cost of fireworks is slightly increased this year. Factors for this are the increased freight rates for dangerous goods, the price of which has increased from $ 11,000 to $ 18,000 for a 40-foot high cube freight container. However, the chosen price model is up to the dealers who ultimately decide how much customers have to pay for the firecrackers.
