Pole assembly is a no brainer; however, installation instructions regarding setting the base tube (depth, diameter, sand and gravel requirements) were missing. I managed to find some instructions online but was disappointed that I had to go that route. Instructions should have been included.

The plastic clips I received for the flag pole wore out and broke too easy. I ordered the gold colored ones to replace them. They work well.
Also the flagpole I bought stood up/did not fall over in the 60 to 80 mph wind gusts from hurricane Nichole.
It's still standing ‍

The correct way to put up the clips

Reason I chose this business:

I checked all options and thought this was the best one.

Reason I chose this product:

I went through three flagpoles in three months from various vendors that broke or did not work correctly

We ordered 500pins and were told they did not have enough stock. When calling your team, they found enough at another warehouse and shipped from both places to get enough. Timely and solved our problem.

Because there were not enough in one warehouse, they sent a message saying they could not fulfill it. Your customer service was smart enough to check a second warehouse and there were more than enough to augment and complete our order. Humans save the day. These arrived around the holiday from the two warehouses.

Flags are great! To improve the flag would be the option to have the end that goes into the ground to be tapered so it's easy to stick into the ground.

Reason I chose this business:

Wanted large quality flags

Lots of flags, sizes, and all kinds of accessories. The 5' x8' flag is heavy duty with large eyelets to hang and large tough stitching. Takes a strong wind to fly fully, but looks good even at parade rest!

We always love buying our flags from US Flag Store! They are so easy to reach and talk with. Even when I made a mistake, they were kind enough to exchange the flag for the correct one.

Ordered this flagpole for my neighbor. Hers was broken and needed replacing, and I already had one of these and loved it, so recommended this to her. I've had wonderful luck with mine and would highly recommend.

Would have appreciated a handy instructional guide with each purchase describing the best method for attaching to a pole using the grommets, folding, display, method of disposal, and other basic information on caring for a US flag.

Reason I chose this business:

Internet search. Would prefer adding a basic cord (not a fancy gold tassel) to the product list. I had to make a separate trip to the hardware store.

Reason I chose this product:

Had the right size and quality to replace the worn flag.

After completing my first purchase I did not see anything that indicated it was complete. I went back to see what I had missed and would up placing the order a second time. When I called in the morning I was told I was too late to fix the problem since both flags had already been sent.

It is described above.

Reason I chose this business:

I had bought from you before.

Reason I chose this product:

The previous flag began to tear apart.

Thanks for making it so easy. I left my e-mail for the United States Flag Store because I wanted 4 cemetery wreath holders. You didn't have any at the time and told me when they came in you would notify me, and you did, so I ordered them and I'm very happy with them. Thank you again.

Everything arrived as expected. The Buntings were used for 4th of July decorations. I am very pleased with them. However, the super tough 3x5 flag is a disappointment. The red on the flag is border line maroon. Not even close to the red on the bunting or my old Nylon flag. This should be reviewed by your quality staff. There is no doubt it is WRONG

Hi,
The flags arrived as described, but are rolled so tight and rubberbanded together that there are severe wrinkles. I have them displayed open hoping they will relax, but otherwise I will be doing a lot of ironing.

I decided to try this slightly lower-cost flag, that I used to purchase from US Flag. I have always been satisfied with their product, but suspect I am buying more heavy duty rated flag than I really need. They never tear and only sign of age is the fading of the blue over approximently 4-5 months. Overall hoping this selection performs the same.

Reason I chose this business:

MADE NIN USA!

US Flag has excellent quality made in America US flags. Our Knights of Columbus Council donates American flags to local area schools and churches when we see a tattered old flag. We are very pleased with the overall quality and durability. Most users are able to get over two seasons of use before the flag needs replacement.

Received my flag and it was very well packaged. I did receive a couple State flags earlier this year and they were tightly wrapped around the stick, made it very hard to flatten out. All the other flags came in their own plastic bag, were flat and well packaged.

The "easy returns" web device does not work (apparently on purpose); the "customer service" phone is never answered; the "email customer service" does not get anything other than an auto response of receiving your email and they never follow up.

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.
