Before buying I was at Maxstore to the wall thickness of aluminum - inquired flagpole. Corinna Salomon (property consultant in customer service) told me a wall thickness of 1 mm. Hereby I would agree, but thinner flagpoles have already been blown down by a little tower with acquaintances. After the quick and easy delivery Unfortunately, I realized that the mentioned wall thickness is not true. I have measured only 0.65 mm wall thickness, which is a significant loss of stability means. After correspondence with Maxstore I learned from Mrs. Marina Purucker (Clerk Customer Service) that I could return the flagpole at my expense sufficient postage, the purchase price would be refunded to me. However, this is connected to me too much inconvenience and I regard the matter as settled. So has probably done everything right in retrospect the Firme Maxstore from "their view".
