“Paid extra to have a flag delivered by the next day. It arrived Three days later with no apology and no sign of a refund on the extra money that was stolen from us for the next day delivery. If DHL cannot do the job then get another company or don't offer next day delivery We now have to spend extra money on postage to forward it to our friends as they have moved away. Poor customer service and useless delivery company that you cannot talk to. Not impressed”

Hi Shane Thank you for your review. Please accept our aplolgies fot the delay, we can see by the tracking that the delivery was delayed by 1 day due to a delay at DPD Nottingham depot. I cannot find any record of you trying to contact us & we were not made aware of the delay so we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused. I will arrange for a refund of the shipping cost & if you need to discuss this further we are always here to help - call 01246 297600 or email support@theflagshop.co.uk

“I ordered a Union Jack flag which was delivered very quickly. It was described as a "Dura Flag" a "premium quality flag". Having opened the outer wrapping, I started to question this. Two things struck me initially: a) the red seemed to me as quite bright, though I should state that I am not a very colour orientated person. b) this point made me quite angry. Considering the flag was ordered from Chesterfield, I naively considered that it was produced in Chesterfield. But NOL it was not. The inner cellophane wrapper had in bold letters "Made in China". It then took me over a day to open the inner wrapping. This I did and yet another point is raised. c) the flag feels quite flimsy, it feels quite economic. Suffice to say that I shall not be purchasing further flags from The Flag Shop and indeed, I shall endeavour to ensure that I am aware of the country of origin prior to the purchase of any product from the internet in the future. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to vent my views.”

Hi Christian Thank you for your review - we are a little confused by this as the flag was only ordered 3 working days ago with an ETA to Switzerland of 5-8 working days, so the latest delivery to be on time would be next week. Tracking shows the order to be in customs clearance in Switzerland. Please can you email me at support@theflagshop.co.uk or call 0044 1246 297600 so we can resolve any issues you have.

“The delivery was in good time, but it lacked information. I only knew when the delivery was arriving after the attempted delivery (so no tracking or status was given). The flags are of a good quality fabric from what I can understand but there are some defects with the design on both types of flags. The Madeira flag was supposed to be blue and yellow Tri-colour but it was actually a purple and yellow Tri-colour. The Portugal flag has the right colours but the castles in the shield don't look right, and just look like a block house rather than a castle 🏰.”

“To date I’ve only gotten 1 email about my order and it was that they’re sorry they couldn’t do better. 0 information on my order or when I’ll get it if at all. The timeframe was supposed to be 2 weeks, and we’re into the third week.”

Hi Shaun Thank you for your review. Sorry to hear you have not been happy with the service, I have tried to contact you without success. All automatic email updates were sent to you but i'm not sure that we sent you an email saying we 'couldn't do better'. Please can you forward me this email (support@theflagshop.co.uk) so we can investigate. I have checked tracking & your flag was delivered well within the quoted lead time so hopefully all is well. If you need anything else do not hesitate to call +44 1246 297600 or email support@theflagshop.co.uk & we will be more than happy to help.

“Unfortunately I have not received the flag and in time for remembrance day. Very disappointed as it was supposed to have been sent by first class post.”

Thank you for your review. Your order was shipped on Thursday last week 1st class post – as per the message on our shopping cart, Royal Mail are extremely busy & understaffed due to the current crisis meaning standard (free) first class deliveries can have lengthy delays. If you require an item for a specific date we recommend selecting Next Day Delivery which will be sent with DPD. Most of our 1st class deliveries are arriving as normal (1-2 days) but the odd delivery is currently taking longer than normal – sorry for any delays at this time.

“I recently bought three flags and three telescopic poles. The flags were of good quality however, the poles were of poor quality. Unbelievably hard-impossible to assemble without having to file them down and had to be forced into each other causing the metal to split. We are still trying to assemble one of the poles.”

Hi Thank you for your review. Can you email me to let me know what you have done with the poles please (support@theflagshop.co.uk) - if you take the bung out then flick the pole, all the sections lock into each other - the poles should not be taken apart then forced back together. They work the same as any other telescopic item where the previous section locks over the next section.

Hi Sorry about this - have you contacted support at all? It looks like a picking error - I will arrange for the correct flag to be shipped today (looking at your reviews it was the Nottingham flag that was incorrect).

“I ordered this item in plenty of time before the VE day celebrations, and was advised that it would after the 10th May. Had I known that this was to be the case, I Certainly would had not chose your company to purchase it from, especially after I was promised it would arrive in time for the VE day. I certainly would never use your firm again, and will make others aware that you cannot keep your promises on delivery....one unhappy customer.......”

Hi Greg Thank you for your review. i have checked the order & it was delivered next working day to your neighbour - you should have been left a card, received a text message & email confirming this. Would you like me to email you the photographic confirmation?

Posted 5 years ago

Just to clarify, the order was delivered on the 5th May & we never advised it would be delivered after the 10th. Hope this resolves your complaint.

Hi Jonathan Thank you for your review & sorry to hear you are not happy with the flag. We use industry standard 115gsm knitted polyester fabric which is the most common material used in professionally made flags. The standard way to make flags is with a mirror image on the reverse - we can make double sided flags on request but the only way to print on both sides is to make 2 x flags, sew them back to back with a light blocking liner sewn into the centre. If you would like us to make one of these please contact us. If you have any more questions or would like to discuss any of your concerns further please feel free to email support@theflagshop.co.uk or call 01246 297600 & we will be happy to help.
