I had some questions before I ordered so I contacted Customer Service and they were very helpful. I received a reply email from them a day later, and they were very responsive to all my questions and concerns. A very good team, in my opinion.

I had some questions before I ordered so I contacted Customer Service and they were very helpful. I received a reply email from them a day later, and they were very responsive to all my questions and concerns.

A very good team, in my opinion.

Their reply was very prompt and they worked with me to answer all my questions even before I had purchased anything. I found them to be extremely helpful.

Reason I chose this business:

They had the materials I needed and they were able to answer my questions.

Last time I placed an order, I had a coupon code. I planned to use it, but your placement of the coupon code box I found was….unusual, and I completed the transaction before I was able to apply the code. I emailed you IMMEDIATELY after that transaction and asked if you would apply the $10 credit at your end. No. I was advised to use it on my next purchase. This IS my next purchase. Now your site/system is telling me the code is invalid. It HAS been a few months, but…there was no expiration date attached to the code, so…I'm feeling I got a raw deal and this "coupon" business is kind of shady. I was feeling really good about your company, wrote a really positive review, and have recommended you to several people. I'm not feeling really good about that now. I'm feeling duped. It's only $10, but it's kind of the principle.
Other than this issue, which has been ignored buy Online Stores, I'm a satisfied customer. The selection of products in my category has been good, prices reasonable, and delivery time excellent. Order accuracy 100% to date.

Coupon codes don’t seem “legit”. Twice was given a code, twice it didn’t work, twice was basically told, “too bad, so sad”… Prices are good anyway so I considered the coupons as “gravy” so to speak. Going forward I’m going to ignore them because I see they’re not legit. Seems like they’re asking for trouble doing that, though…

Reason I chose this business:

Found site accidentally, had a positive experience, repeated.

This did not work out for us. Our flag pole is 1 3/4" diameter; however, description for 2" diameter states that it should have worked up to 2" diameter.

I am disappointed these are smaller than what I thought I measured from the description. But overall, they have been useful in passing out to others to wear.

We ordered around 30 flags total when we interacted with Onlinestores.com. I could find, purchase, and receive everything we hoped for, and then as a cherry on top, the order came with a coupon discount card to a company we don't use, but I appreciated the offer. I highly recommend and will most likely continue to utilize this company.

was looking to find a for sure date of arrival on our order.

Reason I chose this business:

Online searching for a flag.
