Gettysburg Flag® reserves the right to deny credit terms to any customer for any reason at any time based solely on their discretion. Please contact us via phone or email with questions.
Billing Addresses Outside the United States
Currently, our website accepts online credit card orders only from billing addresses within the United States. If you'd like to place a credit card order with a foreign billing address, please call us at +1-518-479-3153 (from inside the United States at 1-888-697-3524).
Shipping Addresses Outside the United States
Due to unpredictable customs assessments, import taxes, and other fees associated with international orders, our online website cannot calculate shipping costs to addresses outside the United States. Gettysburg Flag Works is not responsible for any Duty costs, taxes or other items cahrged at time of import to foreign destination. Duty taxes, brokerage fees and other import/export fees are additional to our quoted prices and are typically paid upon delivery and are the strict responsibility of the customer/receiver. If you'd like us to ship an order internationally, please call us at +1-518-479-3153 (from inside the United States at 1-888-697-3524). As of 2022 we no longer ship to Germany due to onerous regulations regarding packaging and vendor registration.
Expedited Shipping
Our website calculates shipping costs for UPS ground, 3-day, 2-day and Next Day Air. We make best efforts to ship same day on orders received prior to 3 P.M. Eastern Time. However, we do not guarantee stock on all of our items so departure times could vary. If you need your purchase in a hurry or for a specific deadline, please call us during our normal business hours and we will try to accommodate. In general we recommend notifying us if your order is time sensitive so we can facilitate.
Shipping Large Items
Larger items like flag poles must ship via common carrier (freight trucks), and we may need to obtain a freight quote for each order. This is why we don't have a "Buy" button next to most of them. Please call us at 1-888-697-3524 (1-518-479-3153) to place your order.
Shipping by USPS (US Mail)
We can ship by USPS Mail for most/many items but it may not be available for specific items on our website. If you are not offered a USPS option at checkout and need to ship via postal because you have a P.O. Box please contact us for assistance.
Limited Quantity Items
Some of our items, especially those marked for closeout or featured on our Sale Items page, are limited in quantity. These items will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis and occasionally may be oversold. In these instances we will contact the customer to offer refund or alternate selection.
Shipping Charges Calculated by the Website
If you believe that the shipping cost charged by our website is unreasonable, please email us at [email protected], or call us at 1-888-697-3524 during our normal business hours and we'll manually confirm accuracy. Please remember that UPS has additional fees for items that are oversized in length and girth (for example: bike flag rods or flag poles). Our shipping costs are detailed on our shipping charges and policies page.
General Policies
Flag Sizes
Actual flags and banners may be within 10% over or under the sizes advertised. Sizing is approximate due to variation in fabric, cutting and the hand created, hand sewn nature of the product. If you need a very accurate size we can often accommodate, please call to check availability and specify your needs.
Damaged Goods/Packages & Shortages
If your package arrives in damaged condition, or is missing items, please do not discard the packaging. Please call Gettysburg Flag Works immediately at 1-888-697-3524 (1-518-479-3153) to report the problem. You may also email your information to [email protected]. We will initiate a claim with the freight carrier (UPS, FedEx, common carrier, etc...). Replacements will be shipped as soon as possible, pending claim action/settlement. The freight carrier may choose to inspect the package. If the packaging is discarded prior to inspection, your claim may be denied and additional charges may be incurred for replacement products. After the freight carrier is satisfied with the inspection, or chooses not to inspect, we will notify you to discard the packaging.
