Was hoping people here could tell me the likelyhood of fireworks being caught and flagged shipping from one state to another?
No international borders, packaged well... is there ways they could be alerted? Or if it looks like any other package will it make it through fine?

I'll tell you a little story that probably wont help much, but it is somewhat relevant.
When I was 11-13 years old I used to buy fireworks through ebay (circa 98). I would just send a money order, give them my address, and in a few days - the fireworks would arrive. This was all before 2001 though, so I'm sure they've done something since then.
However I did receive 10+ packages with fireworks in them from CA with no issues whatsoever. My state outlawed fireworks and I was far too young at the time to obtain them myself, so ebay and usps worked just fine. But that was then and this is now.... things are crazier....
Good luck!

haha thx man :).
I'm surprised myself that I did that, but at the time I just wanted fireworks and didnt even give one thought about whether it was safe or not. haha - thats when being ignorant and dumb had its upsides.
I still remember one of the fireworks I got was called a "magic crystal" by Brothers. It was a crystal shaped firework that would spin incredibly fast and was incredibly loud then it would launch into the air even louder then explode. Probably my best fireworks memory.
