If you’re wondering where to buy world flags online, there’s no shortage of websites. I unwittingly discovered the abundance of flag stores when I casually searched for a Slovak flag to hang in my kitchen. Instead of the five minutes I expected, the whole flag-shopping process took almost an hour. As I became engrossed in finding the best deal, I learned more than I ever wanted to know about where to buy world flags online: cost, selection, shipping, material, size, and more. I may not be a vexillologist yet (that’s fancy talk for flag enthusiast), but now that my Slovak flag is hanging in the window at a cost of merely $10, I’m a happy flappin’ flag owner.

These online flag stores can help you celebrate your heritage, commemorate travel, or represent your intellectual interests. Heck, you can even buy a country’s flag because it would look good on your wall. Whatever the reason you want to buy a world flag, do some comparison shopping.

1.  FlagsImporter 
www.FlagsImporter.com

Selling both wholesale and retail, FlagsImporter allows you to buy world flags from a Chinese flag manufacturer with a shipping outlet in California. They have the most comprehensive selection of world flags, representing all countries in the United Nations as well as many regional and territorial flags. For example, in addition to the flags of Portugal, China, and the United Kingdom, you’ll find the flags of the Azores, Tibet, and Wales – respective parts of those larger nations. FlagsImporter features easy navigation and simple organization. The only drawback is the selection of sizes and materials. All the world flags I found (except for tacky car flags) were 3’ x 5’ and made of thin polyester.  But the cost is a low $9.95 plus shipping. While the standard size and cheap material were adequate for me, FlagsImporter will not help those wanting nylon flags or unusual sizes. Because I was just a “regular” flag shopper who wanted an inexpensive Slovak flag for novelty, I bought my item here.

You should buy your world flags from carrot-Top.com. They make their flags in the USA and thy have been around for years. United-States Flagstore has their flags made overseas for cheap and they aren't as good of quality. I bought a US flag there then realized it wasn't made in the USA. Quality was poor. definitely try www.carrot-top.com if you want good quality products. I've been buying from them this past year and everything has been great. May pay more, but you get longer lasting products.
