“City flag”

Adrienne L.
10/1/20

Was looking for a Wichita city flag. Your company had exactly what I wanted/needed and it came much faster than I anticipated. The quality is VERY nice. I also got 6 extra flag clamps at a nice price and I will order more items in the future. Thanks for having such a great site: easy to use and great customer service. Stay safe and healthy! -Adrienne Ulrich

I am pleased so far. I found your site & ordered the flag very quickly. I will be thrilled if it gets here by the expedited shipping date that I paid extra for. UPDATE: I did receive the flag a day later than I had hoped and paid for but in all fairness it did say "estimated delivery" when I placed the order. Fortunately the flag is just perfect. It's a high quality, beautifully made product. I would definitely order from here again if I ever need another flag.

The flag was made in China, the colors were below standard. The red, white, & blue were all drab and appeared to be old used looking out of the wrapping. Not a happy camper, and this is the second time I have responded to this survey.

Reason I chose this business:

I thought I was getting an American made flag.

Stop sending emails and the flag wasn't what I thought it was and not going through the hassle to send it back and it was cheap made and not worth the money!

I put my flag outside on the pole like normal and when it rained on the flag all of the red bleed into the white so I had to buy one from the store nearby.

Cheap material, especially the flagpole. Zip ties to attach to pole? What a,joke, I'll fly it in the garage.

Reason I chose this business:

Got a previous flag at approx. Same price range, not too long ago, it was much better than this one.

Delivery time was poor. I won't repeat business with companies who cannot choose a shipper who can get me products I order in a timely maner.

Could not get me product in timely manner. They need to change shipper.

Reason I chose this business:

Thought it was a reputable company until this order.

I was led to believe I was purchasing a superior product.

Although I have bought many flags from this company, my most recent purchase left me deeply disappointed. The flag material was paper, not cloth, VERY CHEAP!

Reason I chose this business:

Based on my past purchases, I had the expectation that this experience would be like prior ones.

Great selection of flags, AWESOME store!

I realized I had ordered the wrong flag the minute I pushed send. I immediately contacted your customer
Service and in other words was told too bad. I explained I wanted the best flag not the one I ordered which
Was more expensive. I didn't cancel order was told that was too late.
I have been buying my flags from this company for years before I even established an account. I was highly disappointed with whole situation so I found another company that makes their flags in the USA and I have gone to them for my flags.

I have had many Greek flags under my American flag for decades. My American flag is always well made in sewen strips of tough cloth BUT all the Greek flags, even though they cost more yet, are made from a flimsy thin piece of stamped cloth! Just how much do I have to pay to get a good quality tough long lasting Greek flag? I have also asked this company not to text me but... No more flags from your company!

Paid additional $47.49 for next day delivery and took fifteen (15) days to receive. Called company twice asking for a refund of the express delivery charges and to date no response from this company.

Extremely disappointed.

Asked to be contacted by email or phone with no response!

Hi
I'm disappointed with the lack of consistent quality with this order. I had A lot of flags that we're crinkled in the packaging, poorly stapled to the wood and came apart.
Do you stand behind your product?
Thanks,
Adam

It's been 8 days since I placed my order and it is still "in process". Holds were placed on checking account for billed amount but never processed and eventually removed (unprocessed). Very disappointed. I'll give them 1 chance to fix it and if not, I cancel the order.

It took three weeks to get two flags from some place in central Ohio to Philadelphia and during that time I got a series of email/text communications giving contradictory reports on the status of the delivery, which, by the way, cost me $5. I tried to leave a zero-star rating because that is what this experience deserved, but the system would not allow that, so I am giving it a 1-star rating under protest.

This is the cheapest flag I've ever seen, very disappointed. This flag is so thin I can see through it (100% cotton heavy weight....NOT). i will never buy anything from you again and I will tell everybody I know about you. This is the same quality as those little flags they hand out for free during a parade. You should be ashamed of yourself. I am a veteran and this makes me sick.

. Horrible company. Horrible customer service. Phone number has you on hold then after 10 minutes tells you to leave a message.

Ordered 12 flags as samples for a meeting to decide on placing an order for a huge parade. Told them I needed them by a certain date. That date was confirmed.
Company sits on an order for a week. When site reads: guaranteed shipping next business day"

Arrival date missed. Stay away.

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.
