Pricing & Availability
Bulk Discounts We do provide bulk discounts in
applicable situations. In many cases, we have
noted on our site where bulk discounts apply.
Along with individual product discounts, we also
offer club and organization discounts. Please
contact us so we may assess if you are eligible.
Confirming Prices If the price on the web site and the
price on your confirmation e-mail/fax are
different, please let us know as soon as
possible so we may resolve the problem without
further question. Please note that prices are
subject to change at any time.
The availability estimate on each item refers
only to how long it will take that item to leave
our warehouse once you place your order. It does
not include the time your order will take to
reach you once we ship it. Delivery estimate
depends upon the shipping option you choose.
We'll estimate shipping dates for you based on
the availability of your items. Shipping date
estimates can be found on our Shipping Methods
page. At the close of the business day you
placed your order, you will be able to to see
estimating shipping dates along with the
contents of your order and referencing order
number in an e-mail confirmation. If your item(s)
are backordered, it will state for how long
(approximately) and also information on how to
"Ship Ahead" if permitting. For those who submit
their order via fax or phone, please contact us
for estimating shipping dates.

Sales Tax
The amount of tax charged depends on
two factors, including the identity of the
seller and the location of where the order was
shipped. Orders placed by residents of the state
of California are subject to 7.25% sales tax.
Sales tax is incurred if purchased from another
state, and shipped to the state of California.
If an item is subject to sales tax in the state
to which the order is shipped, tax is generally
calculated on the total selling price of each
individual item. In accordance with state tax
laws, the total selling price of an item will
generally include item-level shipping (and if
applicable), handling charges. To identify if
you have been taxed or not, your customer
invoice should be billed on the lower right-hand
corner, just above 'Invoice Total'. If you have
not received your order and invoice yet, but
would like to find out if you are subject to
tax, please contact us with your full name and
order number. Though all invoices have 'Shipping
& Handling' title on them, most items are not
charged a handling expense. This is only for
certain items specified on the site. Please see
Oversize Orders in our Shipping Policy
section.
Tax-Exempt Customers United State Government Purchasers will
have their invoice adjusted to zero sales tax
providing a faxed copy of the Federal Tax ID
Certificate is provided prior to the order being
charged and shipped. All other exempt purchasers
need to provide us with a copy of a state resale
certificate, exemption certificate, or other
acceptable proof of your exempt status for the
state where the items will be shipped. If you
are not in the state of California, regardless
sales tax will not be incurred. Please label
your fax: "Attn: Tax-Exempt Form". Tax is not
required on out-of-state deliveries.

note, if you send a personal check, please write
your order number in the memo and there is a

regarding this order change. Every effort will
be made to accommodate this change providing
your order has not been charged and/or shipped
out. In the event that we ship your original
unchanged order out after we received your
documented order change, we assume full
responsibility. You will not be charged return
shipping in sending the item(s) back to us if
necessary. However, if we receive your order
change request after we ship your order, you may

Guarantee
Due to varying weather conditions, we are not
able to guarantee any products beyond 30 days.
All items are covered under the 30-day return
policy. If you find an item is defective, you
may return it for a refund or exchange within
the 30-day period. However, once the 30 days are
up, we cannot be held responsible for how the
product holds up against your particular
elements.
Hemming/Repair We are able to hem damaged flags within
certain reason. We encourage our customers to
take regular care of their flags. If a tear is
visible, we would expect our customers to remove
the flag immediately so we may make any repairs
necessary. Regular care may prevent irreparable
damage and will be far more cost-effective in
the long run (as opposed to neglecting care and
purchasing a completely new flag). Our hemming
service can be done for a minimal fee which also
includes cleaning. Hemming is considered on a
case-by-case basis. Please contact us to
determine if your flag is eligible for hem
repair, hemming price, and/or time it will take
to complete hem. RGA number is required.

Shipping Methods
We have always maintained a strict policy of
charging you only when your order has been
physically shipped out.
Domestic Shipping Method Information
We utilize several shipping methods.
All methods of shipment depend on the weight and
size of the item(s). If under 1 lb., we ship
United States Postal Service Priority Mail. This
method typically takes 3-5 days to arrive
(depending on the destination) and is not
guaranteed. However at your expense, we will
insure. If over 1 lb., we ship United Parcel
Service Ground. This method typically takes 5
days to arrive (depending on the destination)
and it is guaranteed in the 48 contiguous states
as well as Puerto Rico. Please see Shipping
Rates for more information.
Military APO/FPO Address
If you would like us to ship to a
military APO/FPO address we always use United
States Postal Service Priority Mail. Other
transport services typically do not ship to
APO/FPO addresses.
Hawaii, Alaska, American Territories
If shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, or any
of the federally recognized American
territories, we will ship United States Postal
Service as default. We have found that it more
cost-effective and ships faster than any other
shipping method. However, by request, we will
gladly ship another method at an additional
cost.
International Shipping Method
Information We are proud to ship Internationally!
For international orders, we typically ship with
United States Postal Service (once again, due to
cost-effectiveness and shipment time) via air
mail. If needed faster, please contact us to
work out a faster method. All orders are based
on size and weight. We will notify you the total
charge once appropriate shipping method is
determined. We will not process your order until
you approve the charges.
Customer Account If you have a customer account with one
of the shipping services and would like your
order charged to it, please supply your account
number with your order. Your order will still
require a $4.95 handling fee.
Return To Top
Order Tracking
You will receive an E-mail at the end of the day
your order was shipped with information as to
how it was shipped and the tracking number. This
providing you submitted an order with a valid
E-mail address. After obtaining your tracking
number, you are invited to visit the web site of
the shipping service used (http://www.ups.com,
http://www.usps.com, etc) to track your package. Please
note that after the package leaves our
warehouse, it leaves our responsibility into

Shipping Restrictions
As we ship most orders via UPS, you must
specify a physical shipment address and not a
Post Office Box. UPS will not deliver to P.O.
Boxes. However, if your order is "small" (based
on size and weight), we will ship with U.S.
Priority Mail which can be delivered to a P.O.
Box. Supply a P.O. Box if you prefer US Mail.
Additional shipping charges may apply if the
postal charges exceed the UPS charges.

Fees & Extra Handling
Oversize We ship Oversize orders via United
Parcel Service. UPS "Oversize" specifications
are any package with the length and girth*
exceeding 84 inches. On top of our
price-determined shipping, we must add UPS
Oversize Handling charge of $12.95. Items that
are considered "Oversize" are denoted with an OS
symbol.
Additional Handling Any flagpole over 5 ft. and under 6 ft. is
subject to an "Additional Handling" by all
Shipment Carriers. Due to this fact, there is a
$5.95 Handling Charge incurred in addition to
the regular shipping costs on all Additional
Handling items (denoted by an, "AH" symbol).
Indoor Set Additional Handling
All Indoor Flag Sets must be shipped in
(2) two seperate boxes regardless of shipment
carrier. If a shipment includes two different
boxes, two different transaction fees are
incurred. Due to this fact, there is a $7.95
Indoor Set Additional Handling incurred in
addition to the regular shipping costs on all
Indoor Flag sets.
Return To Top
Risk of Loss
All items purchased from us are made pursuant
to a shipment contract. This means that the risk
of loss and title for such items pass to you
upon our delivery to the carrier.

Combining Orders
If you have more than one order pending with
us, and would like to combine them, please send
us notification via E-mail, business phone, or
fax. If sending notification via E-mail or Fax,
you must include the following: First name, Last
name, and E-mail address. All information must

Return Policy
We accept returns, for any reason, within 30
days of delivery of shipment for a full refund
or exchange (we'll also refund the shipping cost
if the return is a result of our error). To
return an item(s), please contact us for your
Return Goods Authorization Number (RGA). Without
this number, we are not able to process your
returned item(s). If an item is returned without
an RGA number, we may at our discretion,
confiscate the package with no responsibilities
to the sender. We cannot accept returns of
opened items, items returned more than 30 days
after delivery, items that are not in their
original packaging, or custom-made items (that
are not defective). Items not typically stocked
(i.e. larger flagpoles) are accepted for return
but may be subject to a 20% re-stocking fee.
Return To Top
Refunds
We do not accept returns of any item that is
not in its original condition, is damaged, or is
missing parts. Please do not send us items that
do not meet the acceptable condition, as we will
only evaluate items with a pre-approved Return
Goods Authorization Number (RGA). Please see our
Return policy for more information. If you have
provided a valid E-mail address, we will notify
you of your refund once we've received and
processed the returned item. You can expect a
refund in the same form of payment originally
used for purchase within 7 to 14 business days
of our receiving your return. If your return is
not due to our error, we will deduct the
shipping costs from your refund. Shipping costs
are not refundable except if we made an error in
processing your order. All items may be subject
to a 20% re-stocking fee. After obtaining your
RGA (Returned Goods Authorization) number from
us, you may return your item(s) in the original
container or a different container. Please
enclose receipt, seal, and return to our
physical address with appropriate shipping cost.
We find that USPS Priority Mail ships within 3-5
days and is the most cost-effective. We will
process your return and, depending on the
situation, issue you a refund or exchange. If
you are returning due to our error, we will also
refund you all shipping incurred for the
incorrect item. If requesting a refund, not at
our error, we will issue a refund less shipping
charges.
