Nothing good To begin with, we had to buy a new remote control for 60€ because the one that came with the boat didn't work, and since there's a covid, there's no soap. Then we noticed that the rudders weren't mounted in the right direction, but that's not all, the parts inside weren't properly installed.

Overall disappointed. The order scheduled for delivery by December 21st finally arrived on December 29th...a shame for a Christmas present! The parcel ready to be dispatched from the logistics platform was blocked for 5 days without any explanation from the company I contacted by phone. What's more, 2 of the items advertised as being in stock on the site were found to be awaiting restocking at the time of confirmation...to encourage the customer to order (?) whereas other sales sites clearly indicated that the products were not available for 46 days. It's clumsy, even misleading. In my opinion, you can only give a bad brand image, and this encourages mistrust... disappointing for a site that claims to be of high quality and, what's more, French.

Products as ordered. The only drawback is the price of delivery, which is still too high, especially for the packaging, which is still very mediocre.

I followed the instructions as to which colors to buy for the model purchased as a gift. I ended up with 0 matches with the indications on the box. Extremely disappointed and unworthy service. I hope you can find a solution quickly. Thank you After contacting 1001hobbies an efficient solution was found and I hope that in the future the indications on the site will be more accurate.

On 3-11-2020 I placed order 061QQVVVGO. On 7-11-2020 I placed the order UXCLSJOPI. These two orders are grouped in another one with number 229785 with date 13112020. Later I place the order GHFSZABMT with date 16112020. After showing my concern for not receiving anything, they send me an email telling me that it seems that 229785 has been lost. I don't know anything about the other one. As of today 31122020 I have not received any of the orders.

Treasure Hunt Although the website is not the easiest to navigate, 1001 Modelkits has some hard to find kits and aftermarket supplies that are not found in most online hobby stores. For this reason, I usually check other websites first.

Don't waste your money, chances are you won't ever receive purchased items Paid extra $25 for expedited shipping. Has been two weeks since purchase, still no item that was paid and ordered. This company is garbage , responds in French , and takes way too long to respond on inquires. Don't waste your time or money , they are awful.

Bought wooden puzzle on 1712 with guaranteed delivery for 2412 Maxi and therefore the assurance of having a gift for Christmas for my son. Delivered by parcel relay on..2812. So no gift for Christmas. Battle to get someone on the phone ( 2312 ) only to tell me that it's not their fault it's Chronopost. Insisting that it should normally be delivered on time, I wait in vain. The saddest thing, on top of the fact that my son didn't get his present, is that they charge you a delivery guarantee surcharge of nearly 15€ for nothing and with no refund. ""sorry"" IT. The human side and understanding would have been a plus by refunding unnecessary costs. Or a voice to say sorry...to no avail and this since

Their mock-up description page was wrong and after complaint no plan to correct it is announced as to trap subsequent customers. And the claims management is unclear and not explicit, looking like an additional scam.

a big delay in the dispatch of the package during the festive period (order placed on the 12th and dispatched on the 21st for a product in stock), so it arrived after Christmas and in slightly fragile packaging. Fortunately, nothing was broken or lost, and the recipient no longer believes in Santa Claus.

Not happy I booked a product well before Christmas..7.12.20. It was in stock! I then received an email about to be delivered with tracking not available for 48 hours on 18.12.20which never got beyond expecting..then suddenly after Christmas another email saying was delivered 29th December. Will never use this company again. Very very disappointed. All communications, when I could get them in French.

Still waiting I paid roughly $50 for a model plane and another $45 to have it expedited shipping to arrive between December 21 - December 24th before Christmas. Also included in the $45 shipping was a tracking number. Unfortunately the tracking company was only in French so so couldn’t understand it. It is December 29th and I still haven’t received the model. My uncle also Ordered the same model and he is experiencing the same thing. All it says on your website is December 21st your package arrived in your country. Nothing else. I am so disappointed. This Was the model planes my uncle and father flew in Vietnam and I was so excited to get it for him. I don’t even know if it’s still coming or if I lost my money. I choose your company because of all the good reviews.

I have been waiting for an order--paid in advance of course--since October 15 when I ordered and paid for it. It has NEVER arrived and it seems impossible to contact the store either by email or using the various forms here on the site. I receive no response whatsoever. Very unsatisfactory.
