Missing or Damaged Goods

Spirit of ’76 ships all orders in excellent condition. The fireworks are inspected and the boxes we use are designed to transport fireworks. Spirit of ’76 recommends that you inspect the firework boxes and ensure the correct number of cases arrived when you receive your order with the delivery driver present. If the exterior of the boxes are visibly damaged (water damage, rips, major dents, etc), Spirit of ’76 recommends that you open the boxes with the delivery driver present, and take photos. Take note on the bill of lading of any damaged or missing fireworks before signing the bill of lading. Please contact Spirit of ’76 immediately after your discovery of the damaged goods and we will work with you to resolve the issue. If you discover that the fireworks have been damaged after you receive your order, please call Spirit of ’76 and let us know the details.
