The box with items was left at the end of my driveway in the weeds and rain like tossed trash. Not your direct jurisdiction but new shipping options may be needed.

Reason I chose this product:

Made in America is paramount!

Products are as described and fairly priced, shipping took too long IMO. I had to call and complain and miraculously after complaining my order showed up 4 days later.

I ordered these flags to place at the cemetery on Memorial weekend. The 3 staples would not hold them in place with the wind we have so my husband added more staples. Other than that I'm satisfied.

Super Tough US Stick Flag 8x12in, Black Stick, No Tip: These flags were stapled to the sticks, which would have been fine if they had been stapled correctly. We had to pound in every staple as every single one was barely in. Would have given this one star, but we ordered a lot of larger stick flags and larger non-stick flags and they were all good.

I've purchased these items before and the quality was great. The product quality of my recent order was not as good. I also spoke with a company representative concerning this issue.

Ordered a 7' pole received an 8' -- We'll cut it down to size, The finial was super large 7.50"w x 7.25"h vs our 5"w x 7"h - having to pay extra for a smaller finial

Polite, courteous, and helped address return and exhange for correct size

Reason I chose this business:

Told it was Veteran owned and most products made in USA

Reason I chose this product:

Looked to be closest match to a pole kit we currently have

Ordered the wrong size flags for my displays. Was disappointed there wasn't a standard size smaller to exchange like other online flag stores. The return process is confusing and can get costly.

It was a complicated return procedure, but the rep was able to explain it clearly.

Reason I chose this business:

Had the flags of the countries I needed.

Reason I chose this product:

Same as above

The grommet spacing on the new bunting is different than the spacing on my old flag, ths requiring me to purchase and install new grommets. The spacing of fhe grammets should be standardized. The circumference of the bunting is also different. 3 by 6 should be a stnadardized 3 by 6

I do a lot of personal flag folds for retirees and this flag, the union seemed big. When I finished the flag fold, it finished puffy. Great material, I didn't want to use nylon or polyester.

I placed my order and did not hear any status for 7 days so I called to find out the status.
It arrived 7 days later.
I want to support US companies but communication is key.

How would I know the answer to this question before I receive my product? I do get email asking if I've received my order and asking if I want to cancel it. Who writes code to send these?

They were as confused about this as I am and deal with it with humor.

Reason I chose this business:

I'm asking this question too.

Reason I chose this product:

Gift for the survivor of a diseased veteran, for his funeral flag.

Not a user friendly intuitive site.
The Coupon Code just sent by subscribing didn't work.
Phone call hold. Spoke to Amber who helped a lot.
Password requirements only show up after entering.
Not sure why, everything deleted when I hit complete purchase and I got to re-enter everything.

I ordered 5 flags to be used in a show and 1 out of the 5 flags was different from the other 4 so I guess I would specify in your instructions that they need to be all the same style.

I really liked the flags in their separate plastic bag with the name of the country. I was disappointed that some flags were just thrown in the box and not placed in separate bags.

Difficult to shop, ensuring that the flag and pole I ordered was made in the United States of America not China

There was confusion between your products made in the United States of America in the products that you import.

Reason I chose this business:

The name implies that you have no import product.

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.
