Ordered flag from Amazon but received from United States Flag Store. But it's a really nice flag and will probably last longer that the ones we have previously purchased.

Reason I chose this business:

I didn’t- Amazon did.

Reason I chose this product:

Our flag had gotten torn from last 2 hurricanes that came close.

The website was easy to navigate, and order process was simple. The installation video on the website does not match the actual installation of the pole that I received. The on-line video shows that the PVC tube being placed has a diameter larger than the pole, and then wood shims are used to close the gap and position the pole once it is inserted into the PVC tube. That was not the case on the pole I received, and there is no way to adjust plumb on the pole of the concrete shifts post installation. Also, the powder coating on the pole is not great. Where the 3 segments join together, the powder coating is not applied right through, and once the pole was assembled, a silver line can be seen at each segment where there is no powder coating. Finally, the flag I ordered for the pole was made in CHINA. Not cool. The material was very rigged, and the colors of the flag were off slightly. Due to the rigid fabric, the fabric did not wave in the wind well. I purchased a second flag, made in the USA, from a local vendor.

Reason I chose this business:

Easy shopping

Reason I chose this product:

Bought based on the installation video, which was incorrect...this was disappointing

I shouldn't have to repeat what I've already typed on the review. Poor quality in everything except the actual flag.

I've already typed this information as well. The customer service rep could have cared less about assisting me. I felt that I put her out by calling.

Reason I chose this business:

I thought the flags would have been made in the U.S.A.

Reason I chose this 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.

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. Online Stores Inc. is also one of the largest online vendors of flags, flagpoles and flag accessories. The company does offer wholesale of products to qualifying larger customers and has an inventory of over $3 million and over 1 million retail customers as of 2015.

History
The United States Flag Store was founded in January of 2002. This would be the first of the Online Stores Inc. umbrella to establish itself. The United States Flag Store first started in the basement of Co-Owners Kevin and Lisa Hickey. The company would be brought about due to the high demand of American Flags at the time, just months after the events of September 11th, 2001. The company would begin filling this retail niche market wholesaling their flags to both retailers and customers.
