“We sold almost a month’s supply of EU flags in a few days”

The Day’s editors received the message on November 24 from management of http://flagmaster.com.ua online store. We have named the store in the article “The EU Flag Is Today’s Trend” as one of the few places where Ukrainians can buy an EU flag now. It looks like our readers have followed our advice.

“We have had a lot of distressed people calling us today, on November 24, to complain that EU flags are absent from online stores,” the store’s manager Daria Shcherbinina told us. “Production will start on November 25, and technological requirements mean that flags take a few days to be printed on and then dried off.” She quoted a recent conversation with a client who said: “Why is your website displaying ‘not available’ template! Where are all the flags? I stand in the square, and there is only one flag here!” “We told him that several dozen EU flags had been sent to Kyiv in recent days, and to different customers as well, usually one or two flags per customer,” Shcherbinina said.
