I am very pleased with my product. It seems to be made of quality materials. However, there was a bit
Of a mix up about my order. I finally had to call customer service to make sure that you had the correct
Information. Once I made contact with them everything seemed to proceed fine.

Once I was able to make contact and explain the situation, I was reassured the the order was in place
and in process.

Reason I chose this business:

The products are made in the US. They had a good price ans selection.

Reason I chose this product:

I wanted a new yard/garden flag to support Ukraine.

Was easy to shop & place my order but with the quality of their blue line flag it's just ok for now. I expected a better "seams stitched" flag for what I paid but it wasn't. It at least had the grommets. I fly it under an American flag on a 50' pole. I'll give it 3-4 months max before it starts to shred. I'll look elsewhere next time.

My complaint is about the packaging and shipping container. The shipping box was in very bad condition... ripped and torn. I was relieved that the 3 individual boxes inside were fine. Just thought the company should know. We are enjoying the flag kit.

I was under the impression that I would receive the 10% discount advertised on your ad; however, I did not. It appeared that I had to have an account with you. I have been ordering with your business for over ten years and assumed I did. I am still confused over what you require. I received my merchandise but in the future will buy local.

Appreciated the timely response but it did not answer my question.

Reason I chose this business:

Previous experience and offers.

Reason I chose this product:

I was familiar with the brand.

I compared two suppliers. One clearly stated made in China. I called to check on your product and was told it was NOT made in China. That is why i selected your site for the purchase of these flags. The flags were obviously intended to be placed on veteran's graves. What was China's involvement in the Vietnam War?

Reason I chose this business:

The POW/MIA flag was not manufactured in China, which turned out to be deceitful.

Reason I chose this product:

The intent was to honor our POW/MIA veterans

I am looking for an American made flag pole and when I got to check out it as made in China! I finally found one that worked for me that was U.S. made. This happened with another company and when it arrived I saw it was made in China. I will send this one back to if it isn't made in the United States. You should also offer a military discount.

I received the case in a timely manner however there was a crack in the bottom corner of it when I opened the product. Is there a way I can return it and get a new one? The crack is fairly small, but I am using it for an art piece for my thesis show in my senior year in college and I would appreciate it to be as displayed. As I said, it is small but I would like to know if there was a way I could get it replaced. Thank you for your time.

The flag arrived as advertised and looks great. The only way I could track the package was to download an app and create an account. The last thing I need is another app that will never get used again. I reached out to the company to see if they could tell me when the flag had shipped or when it would arrive, but they never got back to me. Overall, the experience was just ok. There are other flag stores I will look at the next time I need a flag.

They wanted me to confirm my home address before they could deliver the package with the flags. It sounded odd, so I didn't respond and the package was delivered several days later, Mon 24 Apr, with the address label in tact.

My shipment was short. I ordered and paid for 10 flags and received only 1 flag. I have contacted your office and I am supposed to be getting the other 9 flags. When I get the other 9 flags then I will rate you at 5 stars if everything goes ok

I placed the order on 11/26/23 and only just received it 12/11/23. The order seemed to be lost for a while, as it arrived in OH and sat there for 8 straight days according to tracking. So when I inquired about the order being possibly missing at this point, the company responded that it takes 3-5 business days to process and about 7-10 for shipping, which is a bit ridiculous, and not even the question I asked. I only mentioned it hadn't been moved in 8 days and what to do as I thought it may have been lost by UPS. One of the flags came in broken and missing its stick, which I thought was weird that they would send something like that. Otherwise, for the price, they are what is to be expected.

Reason I chose this business:

Price, exact size of flag I needed, selection of flags I needed.

Reason I chose this product:

I needed these size flags for my Christmas tree and couldn't find them anywhere else.

Took longer to receive than originally anticipated. When placing order I read I'd receive within 1-2 days not a week. But, in the end, I did receive them. I guess it'd be DHL to blame (maybe) not United States Flag Store... hmmmm.

The flag holder was slow in coming (it sat in the Chattanooga, TN Post Office for over 1 week before being delivered to me (10 miles away).
Communication with the company was poor. No response to my non-delivery.

The order was easily placed, with receipt projected in a few days. But on the day I thought my order would arrive, I received a vague message that there was some problem. My order arrived the following week, but I didn't receive an updated message to explain the delay. So I am satisfied with the order, but feeling a bit puzzled by the incomplete communications.

If I need to order flags in the future, I would order again from the United States Flag Store.

I don't know how, but the Thin Blue Line flag that I ordered... well, I managed to miss that it was not the same size as the other flag I ordered, and that it was a printed flag. Nothing wrong with that... just not what I typically order. Not looking to return it, but it's still in the box. We will probably give it to one of our LE customers.

Reason I chose this product:

We typically fly 2 flags here at the shop. The American Flag, and then one other. Last time it was a Gadsden Flag. We like the historical flags, but I did not see any on your website when I ordered these. As we hold the LE Community in high regard, I went with the Think Blue Line flag instead of a historical flag.

The flags and pricing were great. The shipping was weird. It was a combination of UPS followed by USPS. The tracking number provided only allowed tracking for the UPS part of the journey. After the post office gets it there is no longer any way to track the package.

Thank you for your review. Our Best Rate shipping is either UPS ground or if a small parcel it is sent via Mail Innovations. If you use the USPS on UPS tracking it will provide you the details. If you are still in need of assistance please call us at 877-732-2458.

Your suggestion to edit my address omitted my apartment number and changed the name of my town! I would have never received my order if I followed this suggestion. You should correct your "intelligent " software.

This is the third time I've stated the issues. One flag is shorter than the other. There is an arc in the blue field causing a bunching area in the stripes.

No response. Until this e-mail.

Business History

The United States Flag Store is an online retailer that specializes in selling flags, flagpoles and flag accessories. The United States Flag Store is a subsidiary of Online Stores Inc., a privately owned e-commerce and parent company to seven other stores and sites that each specialize in their own respective niche markets. Online Stores Inc. is home to The United States Flag Store, the English Tea Store, Discount Safety Gear Store, Construction Gear Store, the Safety Girl Store, Lightup and Northline Express.
The United States Flag Store is most known for their selection and quality mid-level inventory of United States Flags. The company is based out of New Stanton, Pennsylvania, along with its parent company's Online Stores Inc. headquarters which also houses a 100k square foot warehouse for the assembly, manufacturing and shipping of its products. A second warehouse is located in Sparks, Nevada, to help in the service of their customers on the west coast. The site boasts fast shipping to anywhere in the United States.
The United States Flag Store has their own brands with Super Tough and Super Knit. The New Stanton facility manufactures all of the Super Tough brand's stick flags and as a whole, most of the company's stick flags.
The United States Flag Store offers a wide selection of flags including United States flags, U.S. state flags, military flags, country and world flags and even historical flags. The site also provides a plethora of flag information, history and facts relevant to its products along with multiple blogs on the topic.
There is also an offshoot website called printourflag.com in which customers can print their own American flags and flagdetective.com which customers can find certain flags that they might not have all of the particular information on.

On the Print Our Flag website, owner and founder Kevin Hickey writes,
"We are out of Flags"
That was the sign that greeted me when I approached numerous stores. In response to the terrible tragedy our nation faced on Sept. 11th, like many Americans who donated blood, and held fundraising events, I wanted to somehow demonstrate my patriotism and help display the colors of democracy. Flags, however, were in short supply. This website proved to be a combination of a low tech/high tech solution. While the demand has since decreased, we've kept the site in place for anyone who needs to download and print a free American flag. Please feel free to download the flags I've posted... and as long as people continue to submit artwork, we will continue to post new and updated flag clip art and photographs.
Sincerely,
Kevin Hickey
CEO, Online Stores, Inc.

The United States Flag Store has been ranked favorably by Newsweek multiple times, along with its parent company Online Stores Inc., an A+ rated member of the Better Business Bureau of Westmoreland County.

History

The company would begin filling this retail niche market wholesaling their flags to both retailers and customers.
