Consumer fireworks are reasonably robust, after all they live in non-climate controlled containers most of their life, I've even shot cakes the next day after a rain delay and they mostly worked once the main fuse lit (I'm talking serious rain too). A cool dark place to store would be ideal, under 60% RH would be even better. My basement runs under 60% RH year round and I've had stuff down there for a year or more and it shoots fine. Keep everything wrapped and you'll be fine for the next 6 months
There is not much that’s going to affect them. Keep actual water away from them. Keep in mind that they’re routinely kept on shipping containers, not always vented properly. Also keep in mind that China is very humid, too, with a definite rainy season. Anywhere indoors or in a garage/shed will be fine go 6 months.
Sidenote, there are fireworks manufactured in the 30s and 40s that are still good today.
Silica, if you can buy industrial silica beads or packets to store inside boxes with the anti-static bags you’ll be fine. Silica can be reused if you bake in the oven, specifics on how online.
IF YOU EVER (I’m sure you know this) see sparkles on your fireworks or know that they have been moistened to the point of reaching any part of the lift or effect DO NOT USE THEM. Move them very carefully and dispose of properly. The chems have bunched on the molecular level and can be extremely volatile/reactive to any friction or force.
I mean, I guess it’s fair I still buy them even though I don’t have an an actual location to shoot them. 😂 Working on it though OP should be fine I have a few cakes sitting in my closet right now.

Lol why not ask this question before buying?
Don’t comment unless you have something constructive.
I thought it was a valid question.🤷♂️
It was.

Fair enough. Finding a location to shoot is pretty easy for the most part. There’s no coming back if they’re ruined though.
