Two weeks! Still no delivery of order. Ordered supplies from their site that were marked as in-stock. Order has been sitting in the ""Being Processed"" state now for over 2 weeks after I've been charged. No updates, no back ordered notifications, NOTHING. About ready to file a claim with PayPal on this one. Be wary of this company's order fulfillment time.

Ordered on 01.09 and paid immediately. But no goods have arrived to date. You can also send the customer shipping number but this is not the case. calls are pushed away and if you write to them no reaction. Not recommendable.

5 star price, 2 star customer service The price is really good, so I am OK with the LONG waiting period. But customer service is bad, when I told them my items are damaged, they replied my VERY slowly, although they did send me replacement parts. They don't even inform me that they are sending the replacement. Overall I am pretty happy now, because I got my replacement(still pretty slow), and the price is REALLY good!

I found wagons for the model railroad here that are no longer available anywhere else. However, it is not true that the goods are dispatched within two days. It was more like two weeks. So if you are looking for a rare model, this is the right place. However, you have to be patient.

Large, well-stocked boxdoubts about the state of the stock when an order is placedno verbal communication possible to obtain information about an order that is not delivered within a reasonable time (more than 15 days).As it stands I would not recommend 1001 and a model as a preferred supplier.I may change my mind if I receive news of my order 64512 which was settled on 26.08.1

Good quality product - delayed delivery. Slight damage to corner of book but not serious. Otherwise quality of book as supplied was acceptable. Delivery was quoted on website as 5-6 days but took nearer to two weeks and needed chasing up. Opted for tracker on delivery but information provided was very limited and no explanation or warning given for delay experienced in delivery.

When you take four days, in fact, you wait for payment and then you complete the order. What's more, the letter carrier never comes up to deliver the parcel. You have to go to the post office. On the other hand, if we take the parcel to Auchan St Priest for my example, we are well received and well served. Everything is easy and clear. But you have to be valid etc. Yet I take the colissimo rate. I had asked for gift wrap. The only thing that's long is the delivery time. I picked up the package more than 1

No customer service, no response by e-mail or telephone, no parcel tracking, not to mention the unacceptably slow delivery times.

I had been offered a €100 gift voucher to use at 1001 Maquettes. I placed an order but couldn't figure out how to use it. Fortunately, there was online chat. That's how I was able to find the solution, thanks to a friendly and efficient contact. Everything else (delivery times and products ordered) was perfect. I'll be back

Took a while for delivery, though happy with model My order took 3 weeks to be delivered (I think it was driven to the wrong address, as was stated on the Hermes tracking page) though I was very happy with the model once I received it.

I ordered from 1001Modellbau because I really liked their website. The goods I ordered were also immediately available and should have arrived within 2 days. In the end it took over 1 -2 weeks. Value for money is okay. But it is much cheaper if you do without an internet presence. I don't know whether I would buy here again as the waiting time was very long.

Unseemly delivery time with few notification emails. Non-functioning tracking that made me doubt that the package had actually been shipped. I will never buy from 1001modelloni.co.uk again. Not recommended

I have never had worse results in online shopping. They did not send the order by the chosen system nor did I receive it by the one they chose. I have proceeded to cancel it and I am waiting for a refund.

I placed an order 20 days ago the item was available on the website but not in stock. I cancelled the order and asked for a refund. Given the impossibility of contacting or receiving a response from them I opened a dispute with PayPal after several days to do so which I had to elevate to a claim since even so they did not refund me the money. As of today PayPal is processing the claim and they still have my money. I do not recommend anyone to buy in this store is a headache time and what is worse .... money. I have never had such an experience with professionals
