Inconsistent customer service following the loss of my parcel ordered on December 12. Terse emails with no explanation of how to replace the order or even refund it. No contact number. Today is 040121I have no news of my €70 which has gone up in smoke. The children are still waiting for their presents.

Not a US company First of all you passed yourselves as a US based company. My items have yet to arrive since it's actually coming from France. When you first updated the shipping, you said it would arrive day after Xmas.

I placed an order on December 15 for paints and a paint-tool kit. To date, on January 4, my order has still not been dispatched. They justified this by saying that the kit in question was no longer in stock, even though it was available when I placed my order. What's more, I paid for a more expensive Colissimo delivery, only to receive nothing. So I cancelled my order and am waiting for a refund. Regarding the models, I find it shameful that, given the price of some of them (Titanic 03719 model at over 400 euros), neither paint nor tools are supplied. What's more, the prices on the site are unjustified. The same Titanic model at 340 euros on Amazon with delivery.

I can confirm the long delivery time already described in the other reviews. Unfortunately, the box of the model I ordered was damaged at the corners (torn and dented) although it was properly packed. It must therefore have been sent off with defects. As a gift, this was quite unattractive. Fortunately, the model itself is fine. For the price and a handling fee of almost 10! euros, I expect the goods to be in perfect condition.

Perhaps it was because of the dates in which we are and the order took a little longer than I expected to claim and I was informed the attention very good.

Good evening I was expecting a fully assembled model or at least a rigid body structure, but my friend (it was a gift) received a piece of plastic (to be filled with plaster?) and some poor quality decals, not even all the external parts. I'd like my money back (satisfied or reimbursed) but I'm told it's impossible at the moment.

Strange to have a paint""Laque"" among the acrylics requested, even if it's quite in the same tones as the model. A little more difficulty for brush painting. For the rest, everything was perfect.

The delivery unfortunately took a long time It was stated on the website that there were 120 paint strips in it However, there were only 20 paint strips with 6 jars each so you have 120 jars but not 120 paint strips

I cannot rate my order any lower. Not only did it arrive more than 15 days late according to the date indicated, but they also did not send one of the items I had purchased because they did not have it in stock. Not content with that, they have not even written me to tell me that they did not send it but they send me a discount voucher for that amount instead of making the refund because it is not a return but a failure in their warehouse. They impose an abusive price (about 70 euros) to avoid paying shipping costs and try to correct their mistake with a discount voucher that of course I do not intend to use because I do not intend to trust this company.

I placed an order on December 19 I placed an order on December 19, 2020. I paid a lot of money for express delivery and upon placing my order received a confirmation email indicating that my order would arrive on December 24, 2020. I am still waiting for my order on January 2, 2021. Order tracking does not work. I get an error message indicating that this service is unavailable. I do not think I will order from them again.

On the site, it's marked products in stock. They take the money from the account and then they tell me they're out of stock. I waited 1 month to receive my parcel. And they didn't want me to cancel my order and get my money back...

I must be the only one who has not received my order I placed an order on 15-11-2020 a month later they tell me that there has been a problem and that they ask for it again on 23-12-2020 they ask for it again and today 02-01-2021 it still has not arrived and all they say is that they are preparing it. They have been preparing it for 10 days and they do not tell me if it will arrive on January 5 which means that I will have to buy something else of course in another place to have a gift for the Epiphany.

Hello, my order was placed a few days before Christmas. It was not a problem that delivery would be delayed - especially because of the holidays. However, in the days that followed I kept getting emails asking me to complete the order even though I had transferred the amount. I received no reply to my e-mails. Only after contacting Paypal was there a brief response. When I placed the order with "1001Modellbau"" before Christmas, I was of the opinion that it was a German model making mail order company. If I had known that the company was based abroad, I would not have placed an order. Because of the current problem with Covid-19, I always have orders delivered to packing stations (which are operated by DHL) whenever possible. This is usually no problem with German retailers. Due to negative experiences, I know that delivery from other European countries to packing stations is often not possible - for whatever reason. This is also the case in this case: although a Packstation is specified on the delivery address, the goods were sent with dpd. It is possible that the shipment will be lost for a few euros, but with an order value of approx. 100 euros I will try to get the money back. My suggestions for improvement: 1. better organization of the ordering process 2. better communication with the customer 3. clearly formulate the delivery conditions or indicate the logistics partner clearly when ordering.
